He kind of has a point. I don't want to get into a debate about the relative strength of men and women but in the scenario described in the article I'm pretty sure the guy could have stopped it if he had wanted to. I tend to call "bullshit" on a lot of women raping men scenarios that involve PIV sex. Sorry.

I mean, you don't say "STOP" or try to push her off of you? You just lay there? I don't think so. If you're in that situation and you really don't want to be having sex with the girl you're going to say something or do something to try to get her to stop.

It's just a weird fucking situation. If I wake up and some strange woman is on top of me (fucking me or not) I'm not just going to lie there, I'm going to do something, anything to get her off of me.

Now I'm not saying that the dude should have started beating her in the head with his fist (although I think that's a valid reaction) but he should have/could have done more than just lie there in "disbelief." Not outrage, not panic, not pain, not shock, but "disbelief."

Everything you post on here is awful. I literally look at a multiple paragraph, downvoted screed and I think to myself "bet that's rasterized". And I'm always right.

There are so many scenarios that can ultimately lead to sexual assault. A man could be drugged. He could be fed multiple alcohol beverages to make victimizing him easy. There could be multiple attackers. He could be threatened or his family threatened. Any scenario that leads to a woman being sexually assaulted can lead to a man being sexually assaulted.

Typically I don't care about your awful opinions, but to victims of woman on man sexual assault it's actually harmful. Along with all the emotional roller coaster of feeling violated, victims, because of people like you, think "It wouldn't have happened if I were a man about it." They question their entire self worth.

It's only rape that blames victims. It's dumb. The truth is you would have no idea how you'd react if you were in that situation. Your swinging ePeen doesn't convince anyone otherwise.

He said that it's not possible for him to be raped, and the women in his life are "smart enough" to not be raped. So yeah, he's completely divorced from reality. Best not to even engage.

Oh, I was trying to figure out why I had him tagged as "jerky robot". I remember now.

> He said[1] that it's not possible for him to be raped, and the women in his life are "smart enough" to not be raped.

That's entirely correct. I did say both of those things.

I do wonder how you found that so quickly as it has to be buried deep in my post history by now.

Probably tagged you from that thread. RES keeps a link of a comment from which you set a user's tag. I tagged you because of that thread, but I must have done it somewhere else because it links to some comment about Vaigra.

I'm talking about this scenario in particular, not any of the multitude of other scenarios. Still, any of those scenarios that don't involve a weapon I'm pretty sure I would do more than just "lie there in disbelief." The least I would do is say "STOP" or try to push her off of me. The most, would probably be hitting her or screaming for help.

Human beings are not helpless, nor should we act helpless in situations such as these.

>Everything you post on here is awful.

I'm not here to make friends. I have plenty of those. I'm here to share my opinions. You can always just not read what I have to say if you don't like it.

1) Until you are actually experiencing something, you cannot really know how you would react.

2) Everyone does not react the same way. Some might throw her off, but others would freeze up in shock or fear or, yes, fucking disbelief. You can sit on your high horse and talk about what people should do, but all you're doing is making it even harder for people to feel safe sharing their experiences and seeking justice.

Of course, you're assuming I haven't been in that situation...

Everything you've said seems to imply that you haven't. If you have, I'm very sorry that you had to go through that, but you still don't get to dictate how other people react to traumatic experiences.

Dude, everyone knows that you, quote "don't care about rape victims anyway." Why even leap into the ring?

Because rape is a fun and controversial topic to talk about on Reddit.

I have to hand it to you: more than any other person, you really stretch Poe's Law to its breaking point. On the one hand, who could think that rape is a "fun topic" to discuss? That's got to be a joke! And tossing out reality-TV catchphrases like "I'm not here to make friends..." Classic trolling! You do seem to work aggressively hard to have the worst possible opinion in every situation.

But then again... What troll would put in the effort that you do, posting multiple times a day in a lengthy, extensive fashion? So I guess you are serious. You just genuinely don't think rape is all that big of a deal.

In which case: could I possibly direct you to some documentaries about sexual assault and rape survivors? I feel like when everything's up in the air and academic it's easier to be glib and not really understand the anguish that men and women alike have suffered.

I'm completely serious and everything that I've posted is essentially how I feel about a given subject. I think my opinions tend to echo the average opinion of the non-redditor.

>You just genuinely don't think rape is all that big of a deal.

I don't think it's as big a deal as people on reddit seem to think it is. I also think that a lot of "rape scenarios" could have been avoided or prevented and as a guy I have a hard time believing that a woman could rape a man, at least when PIV sex is involved.
