Ep. 142: Reasons Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse

The conversation continues—and the stakes get higher—in Part 2 of The My Five Cents Podcast episode, “Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse.” Hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and The Logical Genius return alongside Kat Anna for the Persuasion Round, where perspectives are challenged and deeper truths come to light.
With each host’s Top 5 on the table, it’s time for a thoughtful cross-examination. Kat and the crew respectfully poke holes in each other’s lists—questioning assumptions, unpacking societal norms, and digging deeper into the emotional and psychological barriers that keep men silent. This isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about expanding understanding.
After hearing all sides, Kat deliberates and delivers her verdict, naming who places third and who earns first place as this week’s most insightful voice. She then shares her own 5 Cents, offering grounded, compassionate wisdom rooted in her work with the nervous system, safe touch, and emotional regulation.
To close the episode, the hosts review the People’s Poll and the Artificial Intelligence Poll, highlighting how the audience—and even AI—perceive the reasons men struggle to speak out.
💬 This episode is about listening, learning, and honoring the full humanity of men—because silence shouldn’t be the default.

Ep. 141: Reasons Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse

There’s a conversation society isn’t always comfortable having—and this week on The My Five Cents Podcast, we’re having it. Hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and The Logical Genius dive into the powerful and often overlooked topic: Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse.
Joining the discussion is Kat Anna, a practitioner whose work centers around the nervous system, safe touch, and helping people feel regulated and secure in their bodies. Through years of traveling the world and studying human behavior across cultures, Kat has witnessed firsthand how systems, stigma, and silence impact men who have experienced assault, threats, false accusations, public humiliation, and emotional trauma.
Kat brings a compassionate and grounded perspective, speaking to how these experiences shape men’s mental health, relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. She challenges cultural narratives that discourage vulnerability and emphasizes a truth many don’t say out loud: Men are deeply valuable, deeply sensitive, and deeply capable of greatness.
In this episode, the hosts present their Top 5 reasons men may remain silent about abuse—exploring societal expectations, masculinity, shame, legal fears, and emotional conditioning—while Kat offers insight into the nervous system, trauma responses, and the path toward regulation and healing.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness. It’s about humanity. And as Kat reminds us, “Men need love too.”
🎙️ Tune in for a real, respectful, and necessary conversation about dignity, voice, and visibility.
