“Our youth are being beaten over the head with the notion same-sex attraction is healthy and normal. I suspect this indoctrination makes them both more vulnerable to predators and less inclined to report them.”
Actually boys are less likely to report abuse because of the sigma of being “gay”. Dr. Judith Reisman reported that a lot of boys who do report the abuse are labeled as gay from that moment on. Like in the old days when people would say a female rape victim was “asking for it” somehow. So boys would rather not report it and not be seen as “gay” thus the abuser goes on to more boys.
“Like in the old days when people would say a female rape victim was “asking for it” somehow.”
That is a bit of a generalization; in the old days people questioned why women would expose themselves to an attack (and they still should). A drunk female leaving a bar alone at 2 am in a bad area can’t be shocked if she is raped any more than I should be shocked if I was beaten/robber doing the same thing.
