I can clearly understand and personally relate to this series even as a male. The same thing happened to me as a young 18 year old teenager at a small private college in Brevard, NC ( 1983) by one of my Male college professors. I could not tell anyone at the time; because I was that " Male Jock; " and I was afraid to tell anyone, plus, I felt ashamed of myself. So, I had to prove to myself that I am still a man; thus, I dropped out of the college and I joined the military to forget what happened to me.....I am now 55 years old, and I will never forget that I was" drugged and raped by one of male professors in college " ....Thus, I now know that " it was not my fault " and by writing and talking about it has clearly helped me. ( FYI : On, 29Sept2020, I am finally adding the college town to my post, because I have currently contacted this college in the past a few months + on what happened to me back in 1983, and they still have not responded to me or to care. ) Semper Fidelis, Lawrence V.

On 17 August 1987, I graduated from the USMC Boot Camp at Parris Island, SC. In late June / July 1987, we were told by our Drill Instructors to write a letter home to our parents saying: our boot is not like the movie " Full Metal Jacket. " None of us, recruits had ever seen the movie. After finally seeing this film, I'm still Extremely PROUD to say this was our USMC Boot Camp in 1987, and why I am still a PROUD Marine with a " Honorable Discharge. " We were trained to be tuff. OH YEA !
