PTSD is just a relatively rare condition, period. And are you only talking about sexual assault? Anecdotally, I know several dudes who claim they have it, too, for reasons as innocuous as being dumped by a girl.

I agree. I think it speaks to the larger issue of college student infantilization. I work at a college and it’s gotten worse- college students are not treated as adults and you have to be incredibly careful to not say anything controversial.
