I think you are making the mistake of projecting your personal experiences on what is happening in general. That is something you can only see if you actually collect the data.

Can you give an example on which counter narratives are censored?

(This is a real question, I do not use social media other than Reddit. So I sometimes read here that stuff on twitter(?) I guess is censored but no example of what it is that gets censored.)

Don't you think that has at least in part to do with the fact that there are many more female victims? If you would build shelters in every city 90 % of them would very likely be completely empty (and that's understating it, going by the data even more would be empty...) How do you think this problem should be handled?

I feel like you think one is taking off the other. But it is just that there is less help for males, it has nothing to do with whether or how much help is available for females.

If many men would come together and organise it (as women have done in the past) they could build more. But instead of doing that it seems they would rather protest and complain that women get more help. That does not change anything?

I wouldn't say "we" consider the democrats as right-wing. But a leftist party like we have in most European countries? Doesn't exist in USA.

I am aware of the stigma male victims face and I get that you suffer personally. I just do not see what this has to do with the amount of help any other group gets.

You can find self-help groups for men online (don't know where you live, but for example on rainn.org or 1in6.org). From personal experience I can tell you that this can likely help you heal, even if it is anonymous. I could not get professional help either. That is sadly the case for most victims, no matter their gender. But I think everyone needs the same to get better and talking to others who went through is incredibly helpful. But to get tangled up in some kind of weird bitterness towards female victims isn't.

It is hard to heal as is, don't make it even harder for yourself by getting caught up in groups who try to use your pain for their agenda.
