To be shocked to read on reddit threads discussing andy carrol the many reports of women sexually assaulting men

[Tinkalinkalink]

To think It was really sad to read so many posts where men detail unwilling sex or waking up to sex acts etc. All saying no one takes this seriously and the impact its had on them.

Is this widely known?

Do we need to be talking about women gaining consent from men more .

Incorrect.
Rose West raped women with a hairbrush.

What do women have to do with a story of a man being assaulted by a man?

I do know there are some women (and a hell of a lot of men) who seem to the think inappropriate sexual behaviour from women to men is somehow ok or “not as bad” because of the size / strength differential and I have even seen that attitude on MN.

I remember Linford Christie’s documentary when he mentioned when all the “lunchbox” headlines came out he would be and he’d had women just lunge to grab his genitals and find it funny. My dad was sexually assaulted at work (he was a delivery driver) by a woman who constantly harassed him and when he decided to report it to their HR the older man and women in the office found it funny. He said there was only person, a younger woman who was very assertive about them taking it seriously.

So yes some women do need to get that message but a story of a man being assaulted by a man and pivoting to women is odd.

I do think this is something men need to speak on though. I always face vitriol from men when I talk about how this behaviour from some women to men and boys is wrong.

This implies that every woman who is sexually assaulted is overpowered and couldn’t walk away.

This is false. Regarding the skew of results.

Pollsters aren’t stupid. They don’t simply look at figures reported to police but surveys will structure questions to understand sexual assaulted rates even when the victim (male or female) does not see themselves as such. And men still commit the lion share of assault and coerced sexual activity.

I agree that the vast majority of sexual assault is male perpetrated. It’s overwhelmingly men.

However, I have experienced and witnessed many, many cases of inappropriate sexual behaviour from women. And it’s especially true on certain situations when kilts are worn or even just a certain type of male in clothing.

Not saying I think it’s ok but it doesn’t have the same potential of violence and invasion compared to a male perpetrator.

You started the thread at 11:15 and 11 minutes late are concerned about a lack of responses.

Then it wasn’t rape it was assault by penetration. I’m not diminishing the seriousness of the impact of that on the victim, but rape has a very specific definition in this country, and only men can do it as it requires a penis and only men have penises.

Because the Op started the thread with a point she wanted to make. So waited 11 mins and then pounced to make the point she always wanted to make
