Some of the worst stories I heard about USMMA cadets on Sea Year were from my male friends.
I had friends who told me they would get their Junk grabbed by an officer every single day on their ship.
I think the people harassing or assaulting the men feel a lot less restrained and even invincible, because most guys would never come forward about that stuff because they are embarrassed.
