In recent days, the world media has been shaken by the news that "music tycoon" Diddy is being investigated for a series of allegations related to prostitution, blackmail...
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 have been found by the audience. Many people discovered that the male singer had been touched and publicly harassed many times.
In 2012, at the American Music Awards, Justin Bieber won 3 important awards: Favorite Pop/rock Male Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album (Believe) and Artist of the Year.
Thinking that the award ceremony would be one of the most memorable memories in the young singer's career, he appeared quite confused and scared when MC Jenny McCarthy passionately hugged and kissed him and touched him in the third round in front of the camera.
Immediately after that, Justin Bieber frankly affirmed: "I felt like I was being abused."
Many other times, he was joked indecently by the MC, touched too much by colleagues or harassed by words. The actions, whether joking or intentional, hurt Justin Bieber and affected his psychology.
However, Justin Bieber has never spoken out about those "jokes" by his colleagues. He gave a message about harassment and sexual assault in the MV "Yummy" but few audiences paid attention to it, until Diddy was investigated.
Justin Bieber's silence after being touched disrespectfully many times caused a lot of controversy.
Many studies show that when being sexually harassed, men often choose to stay silent because if they speak, they can be attacked, laughed at, and even blamed.
According to People, men are often conditioned that they always want, they like sexual acts, that men are more ready for sex than women.
Many male victims of sexual harassment will choose to remain silent because they are worried about how others will treat them, whether anyone will believe them when they say everything.
Sharing about the current situation of male victims being harassed that has not been 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 " perpetrator" and "victim" based on gender to avoid causing the image of someone being the perpetrator or not recognizing someone as a victim.
"Gender education - prevention of sexual abuse has 4 "needs": need to focus on signs of recognizing harassing behavior/words; need to focus on self-awareness of one's emotions and how to protect oneself; need to focus on respecting privacy and promoting consensus from others, not performing sexual acts without clear confirmation from the other person, thereby focusing on proactive consensus with the saying "Only Yes means Yes" (Only when truly agreeing means ready)".
Finally, the psychologist emphasized the need to eliminate sexual prejudices such as "Girl says no means no", "Going drinking together late at night means being allowed to have sex", " dressing sexy is an invitation"...
