Would you make your husband apologize?

My husband has a lot of trauma but has gotten therapy for his trauma and continues therapy. He's also in therapy to help cope with his autism. He was already having a bad day today and my sister and I were speaking about the writers strike and how shows are being pushed back. She said something like "I can't believe they are worried about money when kids are being sold into sex trafficking in Hollywood." My husband "Didn't know multiple problems can't co exist." My sister asked my husband which was worse and I'm gonna have to paraphrase here because my man kind of went off. The gist of what he said was "I've known you for 12 years and you've never once brought up child sex trafficking. I'm so sick of people using something as disgusting as human trafficking to hide the fact that they don't care about other problems. Stop caring about racism because of child sex trafficking. Stop caring about sexism because of child sex trafficking. Stop caring about people being hurt and abused because of who they love. Stop worrying about people not being paid fairly because of child sex trafficking. Just say you don't care. Stop using something so horrible as sex trafficking to hide that fact that you just don't care. Victims aren't your scape goat." He talked for a good 20 minutes but that's a summarized version of it. My sister said my husband is man so he has no opinion and won't know what those poor kids go through and my husband surprised me because he never has mentioned his trauma to anyone besides me and his therapist. He told my sister he was molested by his dad for 7 years and sold into prostitution when he was 12. He said "I'm a victim and I hate when people only bring this up to discredit someone else's societal struggles. You don't care. Stop pretending you do because if you did you would raise awareness all the time. Not just to discredit a movement that you don't care about." My sister got mad and told my husband maybe if he wasn't such an asshole he wouldn't have had such a hard life because she guarantees he was a crap child and I stepped in and told her she will talk to him that way or use trauma against him. My sister isn't talking to me and my mom wants me to make my husband and he's a grown man. I don't think I should make him apologize especially when he's clearly not sorry
