[Wamvan] Awful coverage of sexual assault against men: thoughts?

[Sharon Haywood]

Thanks Joanna! I've tweeted @Sharon_Haywood:

Editors of @*StarGTANews* <https://twitter.com/StarGTANews>: Guys get
sexually assaulted too: http://bit.ly/YiSbGX
<http://t.co/8hPJoHjNU7>Media coverage that makes it a joke only adds
to the stigma

Assault is assault. Unacceptable that
@*StarGTANews*<https://twitter.com/StarGTANews>turned sexual assault
of a man into a joke

@*wamvancity*<https://twitter.com/wamvancity>PLS RT

Hope we can gain some traction on social media ....
