This is not a TAAT, but it is because of a recent thread, and some concerning behaviour that I have been seeing recently.
Am I the only one who is so tired of having to explain that a man doesn't have a right to touch a woman against her wishes. That even if she refuses sex, or can't have sex, for whatever reason, he doesn't have a right to take it, just because he 'might be frustrated" or "you are married"
I just seem to keep repeating it again & again....which saddens me on a site that is predominantly frequented by women.
A man/husband/boyfriend/partner doesn't have the right to touch any woman in a sexual way when she has been clear that sex is currently off the table. Or has said NO
He doesn't have a right to film her sleeping, while he touches her/himself
And that if he does do any of this to her, and she sees it as assault, then it IS assault. And she is allowed to feel violated.
That just because you (general you) like to be touched in a certain way, or woken up with sexual touching, or whatever, it doesn't mean that everyone has to accept it.
She doesn't have to "talk to him" about his feelings, if she has already done so & if he is aware of what is going on.
Or the most recent one that I have been seeing a lot of (not just on here) "there are 2 sides to every story"
Can we just support the woman who is asking for advice based on her feelings/words that she has posted? Can we not call her a troll (the troll hunting on a recent thread was awful), can we not insinuate that she is lying by saying that there are 2 side to the story, can we not tell her that she is being dramatic, or ridiculous?
Please?

SO tired of women/girls being held accountable for mens failings...
