Celebrities Mock Terry Crews Sexual Assault Claims Because He’s Too Strong To Get Assaulted, He Shuts Them Down
While there are many strong women who have come forward for the #MeToo movement to call out the rampant sexual assault across industries – actor Terry Crews has reminded people that this is an issue that crosses gender lines. However, despite bravely sharing his story and Capitol Hill testimony against talent Adam Venit, many of his male industry peers have responded by mocking the incident.
Refusing to be shamed, Crews has responded to the toxic masculinity with eloquent responses educating people on the reality that not just women, but men also face every day. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 1 out of every 10 rape victims in the U.S are male.

Crews revealed that anyone can be sexually assaulted--no matter their strength, size, gender or celebrity. Coming forward is one of the bravest things anyone can do. Mocking him for sexual assault is an act of cowardice.

His coming forward about this is valuable to people of any gender who have suffered similarly - not just men. It's important for the general public to accept that it can happen to anybody; it's even more important for victims to see and accept that having been a victim does not mean they were weak.

Also, Terry is such a gentleman, that even while debaiting to asses he still refered to them as "sir". Terry is a class act.

These are just lesser men, trying to use what happened to Terry to look more masculine. Terry you are what other men should look up to.

Physical strength is not the only way assaulters victimize. Fear of reprisal, blackmail, threats to others etc are some of the reasons victims don't fight back. Sexual harassment at work is a huge deal bc the victims' biggest fear is not physical pain but loss of their job. Terry probably thought if he immediately punched the guy who assaulted him that he would be jeopardizing the career he worked hard for and the justice system will treat him like the "angry black man" that most black men are racially profiled as. So your "there should be no excuse" conclusion is just flat out wrong.

Completely agreed! Moreover, some people are just too nice to act violent - a friend of mine is a self-defence coach and he had spent months trying to persuade a big strong man to fight back if attacked. The man had been mugged and ended up almost dying but he would not fight back in the internal fear of hurting the other. My point is, we never know where our limits and reactions are until we test them, regardless of our looks or physique. If we don't know about them, we are lucky. Nobody should ever shame ANYONE the way that these people have tried to shame Terry.

Terry has been one of my favourite actors ever since I saw him in Idiocracy. (If you have not seen it yet, I recommend it). He's more of a man that those that mock him.

Sexual assault is *unwanted* sexual contact.... it has zero to do with the size / gender of the victim or the perpertrator. It is 100% about the abuse of power... and there is more kind of "power" than just physical power. The man who assaulted Terry, had career power - power to influence his career. He also, ironically, had "physical diminutiveness" as a "power", because had Terry reacted physically and hit him, the perpertrator could've easily claimed to have been the victim of physical violence, and that Terry was the "bully" (because seriously, how many men are the same size / bigger than Terry? Not many!) The perpertrator also had "ethnic" "power", because had Terry reacted with understandable violence in this case, he would've been seen as the "big black angry man" - a very very toxic stereotype regularly portrayed within the US media. So yeah... while Terry may have been physically more powerful, he had a multitude of varying "power" against him.

Yet another reason to love Terry Crews! He's an example of what it truly means to be a man and a role model.

I applaud Terry so much for still being very polite while fighting the dummies who think he's lying about the sexual assault and for being brave enough to even stand up for himself and tell the world.

Or who think it's funny. That's even more reprehensible. Does it matter how or why it happened? The important thing is that it happened and should be dealt with appropriately!
