    Y’all gonna hate me for this, but I’m simply not going to complain unless there was violence. There’s probably been a time or four where what happened to me met the definition of rape; Drunk as fuck, did not want, forced herself on me, happened anyway, but nothing that emotionally affected me. Mostly cases of waking up, “Where the fuck am I at? (looks at girl) Hell no she did not… I’m going home.”

    And as ricecake noted, rape is a specific crime in the UK. There are other laws for woman-on-man non-consent. Put up the pitchforks.

    Hate on me for this as well; Man-on-woman sexual violence is generally far worse. A man penetrating a woman risks physical trauma, pregnancy, higher chance of an STD, etc. The emotional trauma is far worse as well. And no matter how you slice it, physical penetration is invasive, it’s a violent taking.

    For you guys reading this, imagine having your ass thoroughly kicked, and then anally/orally fucked when you can no longer resist. That does not compare to the vast majority of cases where a woman rapes a man. I can laugh off the later, the former causes PTSD.

    And if you’ve never been raped or taken an ass beating, I don’t care much for your opinion.

      I would. The person would be still depriving me from my agency and body autonomy, both things that should be seen as morally inalienable and should be protected by law for everyone, regardless of gender, sex, or sexuality.

      There’s probably been […] I’m going home.”

      Your personal anecdotes on drunken sex are not argumentation defending your [frankly, idiotic] view.

      That poster is being informative, and actually talking about the subject from legal grounds. Unlike you.

      Nobody with a sane mind would hate you for the statement itself. Instead they’d hate you for the false dichotomy that clearly set up in the second half of your comment:

      “There’s worse shit than this” is NOT rational grounds to imply “this is not an issue”. 50 might not be 100, but it’s not 0 either.

      And if you’ve never been raped or taken an ass beating, I don’t care much for your opinion.

      Translation: “I’ll insert some arbitrary restriction on whom I shall allow to contradict my claim, because I feel entitled to be heard but I don’t want to hear the others.”

      /me whispers "shalafi, the world does not revolve around your belly button."


      Your take on this matter is fucking stupid. Deal with it.

      @shalafi I don’t hate on you. If you have in fact been sexually assaulted or coerced you deserve our compassion not hate.

      Every rape victim has the right to be silent if they prefer. It’s up to you how you process this.

      It’s also not uncommon for people who were molested or raped to minimized what happened to themselves or even deny what it was. And that’s totally okay.

      But that doesn’t mean you get to define other people’s experiences for them or dictate our reaction to it as a society.
