In recent days, the world media has been shaken by the news that "music mogul" Diddy is being investigated for a series of allegations related to prostitution, extortion...
Many famous artists are said to be victims of Diddy, including Justin Bieber - who was supported by Diddy since he was only 14 years old.
Many stories, shares, and old MVs of Justin Bieber were found by the audience. Many people discovered that the male singer was touched and harassed publicly many times.
In 2012, at the American Music Awards, Justin Bieber won three important awards: Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album (Believe) and Artist of the Year.
The award ceremony was expected to be one of the most memorable moments in the young singer's career, however, he appeared quite confused and scared when MC Jenny McCarthy hugged and kissed him passionately and touched his butt in front of the camera.
Immediately afterwards, Justin Bieber frankly affirmed: "I feel like I was violated."
Many other times, he was teased rudely by MCs, touched excessively by colleagues, or verbally harassed. These actions, whether joking or intentional, hurt Justin Bieber and affected him psychologically.
However, Justin Bieber has never spoken out about his colleagues' "jokes". He sent a message about sexual harassment and abuse in the MV "Yummy" but few audiences paid attention, until Diddy was investigated.
Justin Bieber's silence after being repeatedly touched disrespectfully has caused much debate.
Many studies show that when sexually harassed, men often choose to remain silent because if they speak out, they may be criticized, laughed at, or even blamed.
According to People, men are often assumed to always want, enjoy sexual acts, and that men are more sexually available than women.
Many male victims of sexual harassment choose to remain silent because they worry about how others will treat them and whether anyone will believe them if they tell the story.
Sharing about the fact that the harassment of male victims is not properly recognized, psychologist Dao Le Tam An assessed that in sex education and prevention of sexual abuse, it is necessary to eliminate the depiction of "perpetrators" and "victims" based on gender to avoid causing the labeling of someone as a perpetrator or not acknowledging someone as a victim.
"Sex education - preventing sexual abuse has 4 "needs": need to focus on signs of recognizing harassing behavior/words; need to focus on self-awareness of one's own emotions and how to protect oneself; need to focus on respecting privacy and promoting consent from the other person, not performing sexual acts without clear confirmation from the other person, thereby focusing on active verbal consent "Only yes means yes" (Only when you truly agree, does it mean you are ready)".
Finally, the psychologist emphasized the need to eliminate sexual stereotypes such as "A girl saying no means yes", "Going out drinking together late at night means having sex is allowed", "dressing sexy means inviting"...
