    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.

      @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.
