My name is Edward Avery-Natale. I am a white, middle-class, well educated, straight-passing, male. I am also a survivor of abuse who is choosing to come forward about what abuse looks like for men like me.
I must be abundantly clear: this is not a "men's rights" page. I fucking loathe "men's rights activists": they are misogynistic rape-apologists who would likely consider me a "snowflake."
There are two posts here: "the short of it..." lays out my overall idea; "the long of it..." is a detailed accounting of my abuse and why I think that my story is important to social justice communities. I hope that you'll read "the long of it," but if you're unsure, start with "the short of it..."
