62 Million Men: Part 1

Trigger warnings: sexual assault, abuse, and discussion of violence.Episode 18 of Traumatically Speaking, 62 Million Men Part 1, is a heavy one. In this episode, Sloan and Lex read a submission from a Chaos Cousin sharing their experience with sexual assault, holding space for the reality and impact of that trauma.From there, they shift into a deeper conversation as Sloan breaks down a recent investigation by CNN that exposed online communities centered around what has been described as an online rape academy. The investigation, led by Saskya Vandoorne, focuses on content and forums tied to a site known as Motherless, where users shared material and conversations involving the drugging and assault of women, often within relationships.The conversation centers on the reality that this is not about strangers, but about violence happening within marriages and partnerships, and how often that harm is minimized or ignored.Disclaimer: During the episode, there is a moment of misspeaking regarding the site history connected to Gisèle Pelicot’s case. Her husband initially uploaded content to a site called Without Her Knowledge, which was later taken down. A separate site called Motherless is the platform referenced in the CNN investigation discussed in this episode.This episode is difficult, confronting, and rooted in bringing awareness to conversations many people would rather avoid.Want a chance to have your story shared on the pod?Email us: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠Remember: write it like a story — bullet points don’t flow — and send it as a .pdf if ya nasty.We support and encourage therapy.
