It's 3 weeks since I met my German girl and it feels like about 2 months. We've spent a total of about 4 days apart since we met. I've had more sex in three weeks than I have in years. We spent my birthday, xmas and new year's together. After partying for new year's, we went back to my place and had insane crazy OH MY GOD HOLY FUCKING SHIT sex for about 6 hours on and off. We spend the rest of our time together drinking, watching fucked up movies, eating good food and going out to pubs to drink/see bands.
The summer of Toenail is officially here.![]()
But achieving equal footing in a society that has been male dominated for about 4000 years (i.e. western civilization) is a woman's issue. Of course many barriers have been broken, but equality isn't quite there yet. Of course, this could be construed as a utopian goal, which by its virtue of being utopian would be unachievable, but that's neither here nor there.
He forgot to say that he had sex with himself.
I believe the 1 in 4 statistic includes sexual assault.

I still don't understand why you feel personally threatened about how more women than you like to imagine may have been taken advantage of sexually by men. Do you not understand the concept that not all sexual assaults are gangbangs by roving packs of hooligans, and that nice mutually consensual sex can turn rapey when someone decides they are going to ignore the other person's boundaries once they have them in a vulnerable position?
The actual problems with the case lies in the small couple hundred sample group, which was voluntary, the questions that would count a person as being sexual assaulted included regretting instances, phrases such as "didn't want to" instead of "forced to" etc etc.
I don't know what study is in question here, but I'm not really seeing how this is a big deal. As krampus has been stressing, not all "sexual assault" is Irreversible-esque dark alley shit, but refers to a wide range of things that even the group that didn't perceive themselves to be victims fall under. I imagine some of these girls perhaps answered "no" to such a seemingly vicious term as "sexual assault" when they woke up after a night of heavy drinking and didn't entirely remember consenting to the male, but it's hard to call it anything but that.
Does anyone have any decent literature on studies focusing on the "severity" of varying "degrees" of sexual assault and the extent to which it influences the life of an average victim? I took a class my freshman year on trauma in literature and one of the main themes came from parallel studies that linked the PTSD of Vietnam veterans with that of violent rape victims in the way they both viewed the world through the framework of the traumatic event, and I'd be interested in reading about some of the finer nuances that encompass sexual assault as a whole.
There's no sense in limiting the factors strictly to inebriation; what about explicit or implicit coercive psychological manipulation that later led to the completion of the act, which the victim later came to regret? Clearly this doesn't yield the visceral, morally black-and-white connotation of a back-alley gangrape; but the result is still one in which a person felt violated by another person's actions. Forgive my ignorance of the general debate on this topic, but it seems like a lot of confusion is stemming from the conflation of terms like "sexual assault" and "rape" and attributing the same degree of violation to both.
Must be the gym!
13% out of the 25% deemed to have been sexual assault victims felt as though they were sexual assault victims. That's trimming all of the fat of every other argument that could be used to show inaccurate numbers. Thats not 13% of 100%, that is 13% of the group determined to have been victims. If you don't feel like a victim of sexual assault, it is plain silly for someone else to say you are.
