Is everything really so combative though? As if being a male who had been harassed wouldn't be terrible enough, having to 'wait until there was space' to bring up the issue would absolutely feel like the issue was minimized. I get where the sentiment comes from, but would we really ever say something like that about women?
"Sorry, right now we're discussing sexual abuse towards children. Your have to wait a bit to discuss the abuse you've encountered as a woman, because the optics". Seems like that's the exact mentality we need to be fighting against.
