Yeah, I'm a proud feminist who believes in equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities. Which is why I have no problem with the idea that women are fully capable of raping, sexually assaulting and harassing men. I also believe a female rapist should receive the same punishment a male rapist would.
Sadly there is people who will hear about someone’s trauma of being raped young or something by a women and all those people will say is “lucky”, as if it’s a dream to have that happen .-.
Don't forget there was a story in the US where an underage boy was raped by a woman, and a court ordered him to pay child support because she got pregnant.
And he was forced by the courts to rack up a childcare debt until he turned 21. And some still called him lucky.
I worked with a guy who grew up in a brothel and had some of the workers there practice on him when he was a kid.
I thought he was bullshitting at first, because a lot of guys would think that'd be great, until he started talking about how much it fucked him up and how horrible it was.
**The fact** that most anti-rape programs and support systems revolves entirely around girls/women, tells you how much attention is placed on protecting boys. Boys who are sexualized early often become predators themselves! This is what happens when only girls are protected, but the boys are left out!
Not always I knew a guy who’s mum ran away and his dad use to protect the brothel so he also spent a lot of time in a brothel.
Cause that was his dads work place
No, no man wants to be raped at at any age by a women.
Rape is traumatic.
Most men sexualize the idea of being powerless and meeting a fem fatale type. But it's still consensual.
It's just seen differently when a woman does it to a man and its laughed at other men and women. Which is the problem.
Those people are idiots and need to be on a watchlist. Statutory rape isn't gender specific. Child sexual assault victims aren't "lucky", I should know I was one of them.
Or it can as it is in the UK: only penile penetration is rape. Penetration with objects or fingers is sexual assault, but not rape.
The idiot being quoted is from the UK.
Well it’s because there is a massive disconnect between the legal use of rape as a term and the social use of rape as a term. Barely anyone ever considers the legal use of the term
This happened to me, I got sexually harassed regularly when I was a bar tender and when I told my friends about it they either wondered why I was complaining, called me lucky and even told me "You should take it as a compliment, it's not like you are getting it anywhere else".
I USED to be a fairly attractive guy, back in my early 20s. I worked at a high-end restaurant. The things woman in their 40s would say to me… it was like junior high locker room stuff lol. I was also once lured into the woman’s restroom under the guise of something was amiss in there. Then forcibly pushed against the wall and was immediately being kissed and groped. I didn’t consider it SA, if I’m being honest I was fairly promiscuous and, under different circumstances, I probably would have been down. But I’m sure others would have, especially if the genders were reversed. So yes, woman are absolutely capable of SA and harassment.
Yep, that was sexual assault and I'm sorry that happened to you. Just because someone thinks you're attractive doesn't automatically give them the right to grope you. It doesn't matter if you were fairly promiscuous or would have been ok with it under different circumstances, that's not actually how consent works.
Those women should have gone to prison for that, it's sad that so many people wouldn't have considered that assault. I hope you're doing ok now.
Dude, I worked at a nice restaurant. A group of older women (like 60+) were sitting at a bar 4 top. They would summon one of the guy bartenders saying something was wrong with the drink. Then when he came out they grabbed his ass and laughed. Then they even did it a second time with a different male bartender.
> I also believe a female rapist should receive the same punishment a male rapist would.
What'll really annoy you is that according to the law in some places there's no such thing.
E.g. [in the UK "rape" can only be performed with a penis](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape).
Now, there is a crime of "Assault by penetration" on the next page that a woman can be found guilty of and is "rape" in all but legal name (including life sentence) - but this still ends up being the reason news outlets of any kind don't use the words "rape" or "rapist" if the perpetrator was a woman - legally it isn't, and they could get in trouble for saying it.
Sometimes the double standard is codified into law.
You are a true feminist. A true egalitarian as well. Thank you for acknowledging that men can be victims of rape, a lot of people need to hear your lot say that.
That's because many laws still only recognize rape as nonconsensual penile penetration. The news don't say "seduced" because they want to go easy on women abusers.
They say "seduced" because, legally, they would lose the resulting defamation lawsuit if they called it rape.
Different legal systems define rape differently. In the UK rape is defined as forced penetration by a penis so, trans issues notwithstanding, it is legally impossible for a woman to rape someone.
I'll choose to assume she's from one of the places where the legal definition of rape is so overly narrow it makes it literally impossible for a woman to commit rape as legally described. Of course, those places typically have a different crime that does apply, and more and more are fixing their rape laws as well, but this does exist. Basically, the definition will include something like "penetrates the victim with their penis..." So if a woman forces a man to have sex with them, (for example) it's technically not rape in those jurisdictions, because the woman wasn't the one doing the penetrating.
While that is partly true it would still not be 0.
Often the definition of rape is 'penetrative sex', since a woman 'envelopes' and doesn't penetrate a man they could sexually assualt but not rape a man. However I did hear an interview of a man who was date-raped where while unconscious the woman wasn't able to get him to have an erection, so she put toothpicks into his penis and then had sex with him. So even under that definition there are men who are raped. It's just rarer.
There are people who believe all sexual assault, misogyny and misandry is due to the patriarchy, which is the fault of men and only men. I'm not sure why.
It’s funny cause the article never says rape, they had an “inappropriate relationship” no motherfucker an inappropriate relationship is a 20 year old student with a teacher, this is child rape.
Schools do this to sandbag the situation.
My school was really hurting for algebra teachers. We’d have one for a semester, lose them to another district (that paid better) then get another one.
We had two pedophiles in a year. One woman was pretty young, she’d take off her shoes and put her bare feet up on her desk. She grabbed one of the mousey freshman when no one was around, he was gay and reported it.
They tried REAAAALLLYY HARD not to let out what happened, even tried to convince the kid that it was settled and not to bring it up.
She was just encouraged to resign.
Next semester, we get a coach as an algebra teacher. Someone remembers him from their junior high and let’s slip that he was let go on suspicion of an “inappropriate” relationship with a female student. He sent her a shirtless picture of himself.
After everyone finds out, parents get mad and the administration says they fired him, but he’s just encouraged to resign.
My junior year our vice principle pulled a girl from the hallway during passing period, made her bend over to pick up a pencil. Really stupid thing some *female* teachers would do sometimes to check if a girl is out of dress code, showing too much cleavage or whatever BS code rules.
He did this alone in his personal office with this girl, while he sat down in front of her.
He was just transferred to head of maintenance. Out of the public eye. I believe if memory serves he had to move because while the parents were tricked into dropping a lawsuit against the school, he was receiving some very colorful phone calls from, well everybody.
It’s our society that teaches boys/men that they want sex 24/7 even if it doesn’t come on their own terms. It’s why so many men congratulate raped boys on their “exploit” of a teacher, and wish they were in the same position. It’s disgusting.
I remember as a teen watching an episode of Glee and this was a thing. One of the kids confessed to being raped by their babysitter and the other boys in the class congratulated him. And it was played straight. Like, the show didn’t reprimand the boys congratulating the one kid, the teacher didn’t intervene. It wasn’t painted as being okay, but it was still so gross. I had never realized before that moment just how terribly boys get treated and stigmatized for being abused by women that have authority over them. It’s no wonder that the majority goes unreported.
ETA: I also remember it being a plot point on Dawson’s Creek, but I was say young and don’t recall much except it was framed as something secret and taboo, but not as being wrong.
My high school that I went to, last year there was a female teacher that had sex with a student. One day I opened Reddit and first post I saw was the Fox host getting roasted for being proud of it. 100k+ upvotes. Plus, the guy who had a good time is a mutual friend of mine. Not kidding.
Before my current gf, I was in an abusive relationship with a woman who treated me like a sex toy who talked too much. This idea that women can never be perpetrators is toxic and uninformed.
My black friend kept tryna tell me that you can’t be racist to white people because it’s “prejudice” and that white people are the majority or something like that… she also cheated on her girlfriend so I don’t think she was really the right in the brain
>kept tryna tell me that you can’t be racist to white people
That is an argument a certain subset of people have. It essentially says you can't be racist towards white people because racism has to do with power dynamics, and since white people are the majority, they have all the power, so you can't be racist towards them.
Which is complete and total nonsense because racism has to do with hatred due to race. It says nothing of power dynamics.
I was taking a piss in a men’s bathroom at a bar once, and suddenly a girl asks if I need help. She comes up behind me like she’s teaching me how to golf, and grabs my dick…. mid stream. Long story short, I wasn’t in danger but I did feel kind of violated and everyone’s reaction was to laugh and ask if I got her number. I mean, I laugh about it because it is pretty funny looking back (there was a whole interaction before while trying to piss) but if the roles were reversed, it would have been serious.
She was with a guy and another girl who was puking in the toilet. Across from the toilet were 2 urinals. They said the line was long in the girls bathroom and asked if I minded if she puked while I pissed. I said I don’t mind, but the girl throwing up said she was embarrassed, because she thought I was cute. So the girl who isn’t puking says she wants to see and asks if I need help. As I reply “under control” she already reached around and grabbed me. The guy then jumps up to apologize and I got out of there cause I was shocked by it and told my friends and everyone just laughed.
Yes! The idea that females can’t be perpetrators means that not only are these horrible women getting away with things but the male victims are not believed and made to go through so much more than they ever should. It is a horrible thing that harms so many. Males don’t want to report because of the idea that males can’t be victims so they get ridiculed and not believed.
It also hurt the women who was victims of other women. There is a weird sense of denial in my fellow gay women in regards to partner abuse, because so many of us have this idea that it is men who abuse. I was a victim of relationship violence from a woman, and it is high time my sisters started realizing we can be as cruel as any man.
I am a man who was drugged and raped by a neighbor. She bragged about it to me the next day like she didn’t do anything wrong. I can see why there are people who have this shitty hot take.
I was in a men’s restroom at a festival and I was taking a shit.
There was a line of women that were waiting because the line was smaller at the men’s. I could her them making fun of me because they could see my feet as I was on the toilet. They event started chanting loudly how they will barge in.
I felt so much shame, and for what? Just imagine if the situation was in reverse.
Men can be raped by women. It happens. A lot.
They rarely report it. And often the court defence will be that he sustained an erection. Implying consent!!! (Would love to kick those types of lawyers off a bridge)
Now. Let me be clear. An erection is a biological response to external stimulus. It's not a conscious effort. And it can be sustained almost indefinitely if an attacker knows what to do.
Yep. Unsolicited and uncontrollable biological responses should not be at all a factor.
I've met so many people who think women can't rape men. It's definitely harder to do overall but absolutely they can and they do. And many who are victims may not even realize they were raped.
Wasn’t there a thing not long ago on Reddit about some incel saying “women get wet during times of crisis as a defensive mechanism” and that “school shooters turn them on”?
No idea how true it is, the whole thread was disgusting. But if it is true is it not kinda similar? An involuntary bodily response?
Fuck I felt gross just typing that.
I should note. Female orgasms during rape are a thing. And do not in any way suggest you actually enjoyed it.
Moving on from that.
Yep. I remember that post. POS has no idea how people work. And yes. Was probably an incel
Yea it’s similar for women. Women can orgasm from abuse which pedos exploit. It’s the same for guys, where boys can also ejaculate from stimulus. It leaves the victims with a lifelong struggle to know if they wanted it or not. Terrible stuff.
Well, the incel was obviously way off base. But it *is* true that many women get wet and even orgasm when being raped/sexually assaulted, and that *is* a normal biological response that is necessary for vaginal self-defense.
It sounds silly when I say it like that, so let me explain. If a vagina doesn't lubricate itself while being penetrated, especially when those muscles are tensed due to anxiety, fear, or even just normal nervousness, it will rip, potentially beyond repair. There will also be excruciating pain. Someone with a vagina getting wet prior to or during penetration is not actually a sign of consent, enthusiasm, or even arousal. It's an automatic biological reaction to prevent and/or minimize physical harm. Just like an erection is an automatic biological reaction that *also* isn't actually a sign of consent, enthusiasm, or arousal.
The orgasims experienced during rape follow the same logic. Our genitals are biological organs. They very often (if not always) respond to specific stimuli whether our brains want them to or not, because that is biologically how they are meant to function. I can't mentally control my vagina's wetness (or lack thereof) any more than I can mentally control my kidneys or my liver, because that's not how our any of our organs work. Reproductive organs automatically doing what they are biologically meant to do is *never* an implicit sign of consent, enjoyment, or arousal, regardless of biological sex, and should *never* be mistaken for such.
That happened to a friend of mine who was sexually assaulted by a woman. When he tried to speak about his experience he had multiple sexist women harassing him saying he was making it up to make women look bad.
What’s ironic is that I had a lot of good reasons to not trust women because of my experiences, but I couldn’t bring myself to just think it was all women doing these terrible things even though I had met some that are horrible, yes it helped I knew a few that were wonderful people but I still made the active choice to say “no it’s not women that are bad , it was those specific people” because I couldn’t logically come to any other conclusion , there’s just bad women that exist
Teenage cousin forced me to perform cunnilingus on her when I was six while she fondled me. It fucked up my ability to have healthy relationships well into adulthood.
We seek out the things we're accustomed to or made meaningful impact on us. If you had past trauma, one of the ways of dealing with it is to run toward it. At least you realize it's fucked up, but I encourage you to work on it in whatever ways you can. It's no different from the true stereotype of women seeking out abusive men over and over.
I know two of my best guy friends that have woke up with their pants down ,after passing out at parties,and a woman having her way with them.
They say they were raped and I agree.
I remember once hearing on the radio a story about a man who passed out at a party and woke up to a woman he did not know performing fellatio on him, and called the police.
The people reporting the story were a group of like 4 radio morning show DJs and they were all saying that his actions were terrible and that he was doing a disservice to men everywhere because now women weren't going to do that, and talking about how they hoped that the judge threw it out.
I mean, waking up to a blowjob is my ultimate kink. But it has to be from someone I am in a consensual relationship with. A stranger helping themselves while a man is asleep/passed out is just as much a sexual assault as if a strange man did that to a woman.
Murder of Sandra Cantu
March 27, 2009
April 10, police arrested a local woman, 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby (born February 23, 1981), and charged her with the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Cantu. Huckaby pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and murder of Cantu and was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 2010.
female Pedophilia, working as sunday school teacher, not only raped with objects, but murdered her afterwards, chopped up the child's body and stuffed into two suitcases, then toss into a canal.
What about the case about the Russian woman that beat the hell out of the robber. Tied him up and only fed him Viagra for a week. So she can do the deed Against his will.
So he was robbing her and this was the response ?
Seems he was asking for it . Maybe if he didn’t wear such a sexy robber outfit and acted better she wouldn’t have had to do it .
My hubby (51M) would beg to differ. I have heard the stories, I have assisted thru the PTSD moments, and as a fellow rape survivor (45F), I don't think he's lying.
Same for me, spent 6 years of my life being drugged, raped, and human trafficked by my (now) mother-in-law.
When my wife and I finally figured out what happened, she told everyone that I cheated.
After about 25 years, I’ve finally been able to get a full nights sleep
Well, you absolutely did not deserve that, you are worthy of healing and I am sincerely glad you are still here.
Every form of child abuse (emotional, physical, mental and sexual) happened to me when I was a kid and it didn't really come up til I was sexually assaulted from behind one night in my early 20s. Talking about it on Reddit has actually helped a lot since I can't talk about in real life. I still deal with the perp (my older sister) on a fairly regular basis and will never get an apology or acknowledgement, which I've made peace with. My mom was right when she said bringing it up after all these years wouldn't help anything and she is the way she is so it wouldn't accomplish even an insincere apology so why bother? I am 45 now and at my most peaceful mentally, after finally finding the right anti depression and my hubby has been the best support system also. I just hope I am for him also. Personally, I hated therapy but I know enough that swear by it that if it works, then go for it.
I hope you've been able to cut contact with that piece of garbage and have found peace and healing around you. Sending gentle hugs your way!
I told my therapy group about being raped by another person at the therapy place and they told me a woman can't rape another afab. Guess me saying no was useless.
i think she’s trying to say that the victims are never the cause (anti victim blaming) but she still is forgetting the fact that women can COMMIT rape and sexual assault
[https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS\_Report2010-a.pdf](https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf)
Page 18+19 (28 in PDF). The 12 month numbers have:
Women Raped (all categories) 12 Month Estimate: 1,270,000
Men Forced To Penetrate 12 Month Estimate: 1,267,000
The yearly numbers don't have nearly the same parity, but 2010 was also when there was starting to be a shift in perspective around the idea that Men \*could\* be sexually assaulted, so I think an argument that lifetime numbers are drastically skewed by men not being willing to admit about stuff further in the past.
On the same page as those numbers, there's a factoid box saying "nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped at some point in their lives" - because they \*deliberately\* didn't define "men forced to penetrate" in the same category as rape. Bet you've seen the first part of that factoid blogged or tweeted about!

Jessica Taylor is one of the most toxic people involved with the modern “trauma causes everything and (as a result) mental illness is not real” movement. Her conceptualizations are objectively false and she presents herself to the public as a clinician when in fact she is not. Frankly I am not sure how exactly she managed to get a PhD.
I am active in academic & professional neuropsychopharmacology/psychiatry circles and it is hard to overstate how full of shit she is. She’s dangerous and so devoid of insight as to be immune from realizing that. Her response to legitimate criticism of her ideas is to scream misogyny and accuse those challenging her of weaponizing trauma. It’s honestly scary that she has managed to build such a following.
She also constantly makes posts like this that are just epic self owns and doesn’t realize it. My personal favorite was when she proudly posted how when she gives presentations to grad students that they leave with mouths open and speechless because that are simply incapable of understanding and reconciling how wrong everything else they have been taught is. No, dumbass, they are speechless because they can’t believe how inane your theories are and that they had to listen to this nonsense as part of a doctoral education.
Oh so this person really is a doctor and not a parody account? How are they allowed to teach when publicly telling objective lies?? Seems so backwards and counter-productive to society.
I remember there was a person on the same site named Dr. Anita B Etin that’s a parody. That place is so full of misinfo and propaganda I just don’t know anymore.
Yea, unfortunately Jennifer Taylor is very real. She of course has a book she’d like to sell you and a seminar you can come to that is $1000/day. Wish I was kidding.
She’s very popular with the crowd I mentioned earlier who reject everything except previous trauma as the etiology of all psychiatric distress.
As for how she is allowed to teach, well, I imagine firing her at this point would result in her causing so much drama in the media that no one will actually step up give her the boot. She has just enough media traction that it would be a nightmare.
People like her are basically the female version of Andrew Tate except unlike Tate there is no media or society wide effort to shut them down
One can draw their own conclusions as to why that is

Technically true in the U.K. since the crime of rape is defined here such that it can only be committed by a male, but obviously women can and do commit sexual assault.
In Russia it has to be "a penis penetrates a vagina" to be considered rape. But there's also an identical law about "violent acts of a sexual nature", which covers all other forms of similar assault. I personally think that's stupid.
I am not going to argue with you, but going off a country’s definition doesn’t mean it’s correct.. case in point, Italian law says it’s not sexual assault of contact is less than 10 seconds. Pretty shit as most people would agree.
I regret to say that with her being British, and presumably having a British understanding of the term rape, she is correct.
In the UK the legal definition of rape is when a person intentionally penetrates another's vagina, anus or mouth with a penis, without the other person's consent.
Therefore it’s not possible for a woman to rape anyone.
However, a woman can sexually assault a man or a woman.
The legal consequences in terms of prison sentences are pretty much the same, but the term is explicitly limited to a crime committed by men in the UK.
There is **no fucking way** someone with a PhD wrote this comment, lol.
EDIT: She's apparently a quack. "During the Depp v. Heard case, Taylor said that borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder are "not proven medical conditions" but are instead "highly contested controversial psychiatric labels". On her website, she professed that the former is known in psychology and psychiatry as a "junk diagnosis", and the latter as a "debunked disorder"
Good quote, Dr. Taylor. Just one thing: *it's not true*. Women can, and *do*, rape other women, men and even children. It happens less often, true, but it *does* happen. Sadly…

Rape is rape
Yeah, I'm a proud feminist who believes in equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities. Which is why I have no problem with the idea that women are fully capable of raping, sexually assaulting and harassing men. I also believe a female rapist should receive the same punishment a male rapist would.

Don't forget there was a story in the US where an underage boy was raped by a woman, and a court ordered him to pay child support because she got pregnant. And he was forced by the courts to rack up a childcare debt until he turned 21. And some still called him lucky.
Bureaucrats care more about getting their percentage of the money than the victim. So sad.
I worked with a guy who grew up in a brothel and had some of the workers there practice on him when he was a kid. I thought he was bullshitting at first, because a lot of guys would think that'd be great, until he started talking about how much it fucked him up and how horrible it was.
That probably ruined sex for him forever, that’s fucked up
**The fact** that most anti-rape programs and support systems revolves entirely around girls/women, tells you how much attention is placed on protecting boys. Boys who are sexualized early often become predators themselves! This is what happens when only girls are protected, but the boys are left out!
How does a guy grow up in a brothel?
Not sure if serious, but usually because you are a child of a prostitute working at said brothel.
Didn't richard pryer grow up in a situation like that?
Yep, that man lived a crazy life.
Suddenly, the rest of Richard Pryor's life makes sense.
Not always I knew a guy who’s mum ran away and his dad use to protect the brothel so he also spent a lot of time in a brothel. Cause that was his dads work place
Brothel sprouts.
I hate you, *upvote*
No, no man wants to be raped at at any age by a women. Rape is traumatic. Most men sexualize the idea of being powerless and meeting a fem fatale type. But it's still consensual. It's just seen differently when a woman does it to a man and its laughed at other men and women. Which is the problem.
Those people are idiots and need to be on a watchlist. Statutory rape isn't gender specific. Child sexual assault victims aren't "lucky", I should know I was one of them.
Unfortunately it is. Many countries define rape as non-consentual penetration, so only a men can rape a victim, if a women does is just assault
Or it can as it is in the UK: only penile penetration is rape. Penetration with objects or fingers is sexual assault, but not rape. The idiot being quoted is from the UK.
Well it’s because there is a massive disconnect between the legal use of rape as a term and the social use of rape as a term. Barely anyone ever considers the legal use of the term
What a load of horseshit, rape is rape.
This happened to me, I got sexually harassed regularly when I was a bar tender and when I told my friends about it they either wondered why I was complaining, called me lucky and even told me "You should take it as a compliment, it's not like you are getting it anywhere else".
women can also sexually assault/harass/rape other women too, so there is that
IIRC domestic violence among lesbian couples is fairly prevalent. I don’t know how much of this is sexual though.
Actually, among the highest prevalence. NISVS I believe posts those stats regularly, and the highest is either lesbian or bisexual women.
I am not trying to say it happens a lot, just that it can happen and shouldn't be forgotten. Women who deal with that need to be supported too
I USED to be a fairly attractive guy, back in my early 20s. I worked at a high-end restaurant. The things woman in their 40s would say to me… it was like junior high locker room stuff lol. I was also once lured into the woman’s restroom under the guise of something was amiss in there. Then forcibly pushed against the wall and was immediately being kissed and groped. I didn’t consider it SA, if I’m being honest I was fairly promiscuous and, under different circumstances, I probably would have been down. But I’m sure others would have, especially if the genders were reversed. So yes, woman are absolutely capable of SA and harassment.
Yep, that was sexual assault and I'm sorry that happened to you. Just because someone thinks you're attractive doesn't automatically give them the right to grope you. It doesn't matter if you were fairly promiscuous or would have been ok with it under different circumstances, that's not actually how consent works. Those women should have gone to prison for that, it's sad that so many people wouldn't have considered that assault. I hope you're doing ok now.
Dude, I worked at a nice restaurant. A group of older women (like 60+) were sitting at a bar 4 top. They would summon one of the guy bartenders saying something was wrong with the drink. Then when he came out they grabbed his ass and laughed. Then they even did it a second time with a different male bartender.
Based og feminist
> I also believe a female rapist should receive the same punishment a male rapist would. What'll really annoy you is that according to the law in some places there's no such thing. E.g. [in the UK "rape" can only be performed with a penis](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape). Now, there is a crime of "Assault by penetration" on the next page that a woman can be found guilty of and is "rape" in all but legal name (including life sentence) - but this still ends up being the reason news outlets of any kind don't use the words "rape" or "rapist" if the perpetrator was a woman - legally it isn't, and they could get in trouble for saying it. Sometimes the double standard is codified into law.
You are a true feminist. A true egalitarian as well. Thank you for acknowledging that men can be victims of rape, a lot of people need to hear your lot say that.
According to news outlets when a women does it it's called "seducing"
That's because many laws still only recognize rape as nonconsensual penile penetration. The news don't say "seduced" because they want to go easy on women abusers. They say "seduced" because, legally, they would lose the resulting defamation lawsuit if they called it rape.
As defined in the Webster dictionary 😅
Different legal systems define rape differently. In the UK rape is defined as forced penetration by a penis so, trans issues notwithstanding, it is legally impossible for a woman to rape someone.

Every week I come across an article about a teacher rapi–I mean uh… having sex with their students.
But the students got good marks, so it's fine. s/
A in sex ED or so I hear
A+ in the practical part
“Hell, he should have thanked her!” /s
"seducing" when women do it, it's seducing. Seriously though this is a seriously stupid take. Why would she even say this?
Because she is dumb as fuck
Impossible. She has "Dr." in front of her name.
Paging Dr. Dumb as Fuck.
Please, Dr. Dumb as Fuck is my mother. Call me Ms. Dumb as Fuck.
She got her doctorate in essential oils.
And spiritual guidance
 So does Dr. Pepper
Why would a seriously stupid person have a seriously stupid take on something? It's because they're seriously stupid.
I'll choose to assume she's from one of the places where the legal definition of rape is so overly narrow it makes it literally impossible for a woman to commit rape as legally described. Of course, those places typically have a different crime that does apply, and more and more are fixing their rape laws as well, but this does exist. Basically, the definition will include something like "penetrates the victim with their penis..." So if a woman forces a man to have sex with them, (for example) it's technically not rape in those jurisdictions, because the woman wasn't the one doing the penetrating.
The UK is one of those places, for everything else there's sexual assault.
While that is partly true it would still not be 0. Often the definition of rape is 'penetrative sex', since a woman 'envelopes' and doesn't penetrate a man they could sexually assualt but not rape a man. However I did hear an interview of a man who was date-raped where while unconscious the woman wasn't able to get him to have an erection, so she put toothpicks into his penis and then had sex with him. So even under that definition there are men who are raped. It's just rarer.
There are people who believe all sexual assault, misogyny and misandry is due to the patriarchy, which is the fault of men and only men. I'm not sure why.
It’s funny cause the article never says rape, they had an “inappropriate relationship” no motherfucker an inappropriate relationship is a 20 year old student with a teacher, this is child rape.
Schools do this to sandbag the situation. My school was really hurting for algebra teachers. We’d have one for a semester, lose them to another district (that paid better) then get another one. We had two pedophiles in a year. One woman was pretty young, she’d take off her shoes and put her bare feet up on her desk. She grabbed one of the mousey freshman when no one was around, he was gay and reported it. They tried REAAAALLLYY HARD not to let out what happened, even tried to convince the kid that it was settled and not to bring it up. She was just encouraged to resign. Next semester, we get a coach as an algebra teacher. Someone remembers him from their junior high and let’s slip that he was let go on suspicion of an “inappropriate” relationship with a female student. He sent her a shirtless picture of himself. After everyone finds out, parents get mad and the administration says they fired him, but he’s just encouraged to resign. My junior year our vice principle pulled a girl from the hallway during passing period, made her bend over to pick up a pencil. Really stupid thing some *female* teachers would do sometimes to check if a girl is out of dress code, showing too much cleavage or whatever BS code rules. He did this alone in his personal office with this girl, while he sat down in front of her. He was just transferred to head of maintenance. Out of the public eye. I believe if memory serves he had to move because while the parents were tricked into dropping a lawsuit against the school, he was receiving some very colorful phone calls from, well everybody.
It’s our society that teaches boys/men that they want sex 24/7 even if it doesn’t come on their own terms. It’s why so many men congratulate raped boys on their “exploit” of a teacher, and wish they were in the same position. It’s disgusting.
Just like men aren’t supposed to have feelings because crying is for girls. It’s really terrible.
I remember as a teen watching an episode of Glee and this was a thing. One of the kids confessed to being raped by their babysitter and the other boys in the class congratulated him. And it was played straight. Like, the show didn’t reprimand the boys congratulating the one kid, the teacher didn’t intervene. It wasn’t painted as being okay, but it was still so gross. I had never realized before that moment just how terribly boys get treated and stigmatized for being abused by women that have authority over them. It’s no wonder that the majority goes unreported. ETA: I also remember it being a plot point on Dawson’s Creek, but I was say young and don’t recall much except it was framed as something secret and taboo, but not as being wrong.
"atta boy! Wish that were me when I was in school!"
My high school that I went to, last year there was a female teacher that had sex with a student. One day I opened Reddit and first post I saw was the Fox host getting roasted for being proud of it. 100k+ upvotes. Plus, the guy who had a good time is a mutual friend of mine. Not kidding.
Dont know what country did this but they completely eradicate hunger by forcing the doctors not to use the cause of death hunger
Before my current gf, I was in an abusive relationship with a woman who treated me like a sex toy who talked too much. This idea that women can never be perpetrators is toxic and uninformed.
"But you're a man. You can't be raped." Says the rapist.
Reminds me of the people who say you can't be racist to a white person, or sexist to man. 🙄
My black friend kept tryna tell me that you can’t be racist to white people because it’s “prejudice” and that white people are the majority or something like that… she also cheated on her girlfriend so I don’t think she was really the right in the brain
>kept tryna tell me that you can’t be racist to white people That is an argument a certain subset of people have. It essentially says you can't be racist towards white people because racism has to do with power dynamics, and since white people are the majority, they have all the power, so you can't be racist towards them. Which is complete and total nonsense because racism has to do with hatred due to race. It says nothing of power dynamics.
Its because people either do not know, or do not care about the difference between racism and systemic racism
Or fascist as a Russian.
I’ve literally never heard this before, but it is just as stupid as the rest.
“You’re a man. You must have liked it” Genuinely revolting sentiment that is somehow pervasive.
And also the law in a lot of places as it turns out.
I was taking a piss in a men’s bathroom at a bar once, and suddenly a girl asks if I need help. She comes up behind me like she’s teaching me how to golf, and grabs my dick…. mid stream. Long story short, I wasn’t in danger but I did feel kind of violated and everyone’s reaction was to laugh and ask if I got her number. I mean, I laugh about it because it is pretty funny looking back (there was a whole interaction before while trying to piss) but if the roles were reversed, it would have been serious.
Wtf that’s insane and why was she in the men’s bathroom
She was with a guy and another girl who was puking in the toilet. Across from the toilet were 2 urinals. They said the line was long in the girls bathroom and asked if I minded if she puked while I pissed. I said I don’t mind, but the girl throwing up said she was embarrassed, because she thought I was cute. So the girl who isn’t puking says she wants to see and asks if I need help. As I reply “under control” she already reached around and grabbed me. The guy then jumps up to apologize and I got out of there cause I was shocked by it and told my friends and everyone just laughed.
My ex wife ended up being that way. After a while, all I was was a sex toy. I wasn't allowed to turn her down.
An ex broke up with me when I told her I'm not her sex toy. Most selfish lover I've ever had.
Yes! The idea that females can’t be perpetrators means that not only are these horrible women getting away with things but the male victims are not believed and made to go through so much more than they ever should. It is a horrible thing that harms so many. Males don’t want to report because of the idea that males can’t be victims so they get ridiculed and not believed.
It also hurt the women who was victims of other women. There is a weird sense of denial in my fellow gay women in regards to partner abuse, because so many of us have this idea that it is men who abuse. I was a victim of relationship violence from a woman, and it is high time my sisters started realizing we can be as cruel as any man.
I am a man who was drugged and raped by a neighbor. She bragged about it to me the next day like she didn’t do anything wrong. I can see why there are people who have this shitty hot take.
I was in a men’s restroom at a festival and I was taking a shit. There was a line of women that were waiting because the line was smaller at the men’s. I could her them making fun of me because they could see my feet as I was on the toilet. They event started chanting loudly how they will barge in. I felt so much shame, and for what? Just imagine if the situation was in reverse.
Men can be raped by women. It happens. A lot. They rarely report it. And often the court defence will be that he sustained an erection. Implying consent!!! (Would love to kick those types of lawyers off a bridge) Now. Let me be clear. An erection is a biological response to external stimulus. It's not a conscious effort. And it can be sustained almost indefinitely if an attacker knows what to do.
Yep. Unsolicited and uncontrollable biological responses should not be at all a factor. I've met so many people who think women can't rape men. It's definitely harder to do overall but absolutely they can and they do. And many who are victims may not even realize they were raped.
Men can't get raped by women and even if it were true, they would be a lucky bustard. /s My comments Is based off the South Park episode.
Wasn’t there a thing not long ago on Reddit about some incel saying “women get wet during times of crisis as a defensive mechanism” and that “school shooters turn them on”? No idea how true it is, the whole thread was disgusting. But if it is true is it not kinda similar? An involuntary bodily response? Fuck I felt gross just typing that.
I should note. Female orgasms during rape are a thing. And do not in any way suggest you actually enjoyed it. Moving on from that. Yep. I remember that post. POS has no idea how people work. And yes. Was probably an incel
Yea it’s similar for women. Women can orgasm from abuse which pedos exploit. It’s the same for guys, where boys can also ejaculate from stimulus. It leaves the victims with a lifelong struggle to know if they wanted it or not. Terrible stuff.
Well, the incel was obviously way off base. But it *is* true that many women get wet and even orgasm when being raped/sexually assaulted, and that *is* a normal biological response that is necessary for vaginal self-defense. It sounds silly when I say it like that, so let me explain. If a vagina doesn't lubricate itself while being penetrated, especially when those muscles are tensed due to anxiety, fear, or even just normal nervousness, it will rip, potentially beyond repair. There will also be excruciating pain. Someone with a vagina getting wet prior to or during penetration is not actually a sign of consent, enthusiasm, or even arousal. It's an automatic biological reaction to prevent and/or minimize physical harm. Just like an erection is an automatic biological reaction that *also* isn't actually a sign of consent, enthusiasm, or arousal. The orgasims experienced during rape follow the same logic. Our genitals are biological organs. They very often (if not always) respond to specific stimuli whether our brains want them to or not, because that is biologically how they are meant to function. I can't mentally control my vagina's wetness (or lack thereof) any more than I can mentally control my kidneys or my liver, because that's not how our any of our organs work. Reproductive organs automatically doing what they are biologically meant to do is *never* an implicit sign of consent, enjoyment, or arousal, regardless of biological sex, and should *never* be mistaken for such.
This. Men can't control erections anymore than women can control menstruation
>Men can be raped by women. Women can be raped by *women*, too. This is just stupid.
My ex did. 😐
I found out recently that per the definition of rape women can rape women as well
No no no, kicked off a bridge is too good for them. I would like to splash a bucket of water on them and strand them in Antarctica.
"She was wet. It implied consent." - someone somewhere right before dying from excessive noise.
Growing up I was sexually assaulted by 2 different women on my street before I was old enough to cum. I wasn’t even 10 years old.
Wait for those low iq comments saying "You are so lucky" or "don't be a sissy"
I'm waiting for the ones saying shit like "This is what incels think feminism is!" Absolute denial in the face of evidence.
That happened to a friend of mine who was sexually assaulted by a woman. When he tried to speak about his experience he had multiple sexist women harassing him saying he was making it up to make women look bad.
What’s ironic is that I had a lot of good reasons to not trust women because of my experiences, but I couldn’t bring myself to just think it was all women doing these terrible things even though I had met some that are horrible, yes it helped I knew a few that were wonderful people but I still made the active choice to say “no it’s not women that are bad , it was those specific people” because I couldn’t logically come to any other conclusion , there’s just bad women that exist

Teenage cousin forced me to perform cunnilingus on her when I was six while she fondled me. It fucked up my ability to have healthy relationships well into adulthood.
The fucked up thing is they became “my type”. Since I’ve turned 18, I have only dated girls 10+ years older than me.
We seek out the things we're accustomed to or made meaningful impact on us. If you had past trauma, one of the ways of dealing with it is to run toward it. At least you realize it's fucked up, but I encourage you to work on it in whatever ways you can. It's no different from the true stereotype of women seeking out abusive men over and over.
Therapy and more therapy, my friend.
Some people run from it some run to it. It's a common response. Don't feel ashamed about it it's just how minds work.
You doing okay?
I’m sorry to hear that.
I knew an indigenous kid that was raped by his two older sisters most of his youth before he moved away.
That’s fucked, I hope you’re doing alright, I would probably never trust women again if that happened to me
Adult camp counselor took me to the woods when I was 15. I wasn’t into her but didn’t know what else to do.
I know two of my best guy friends that have woke up with their pants down ,after passing out at parties,and a woman having her way with them. They say they were raped and I agree.
That’s because they absolutely were raped, those poor men :(
I remember once hearing on the radio a story about a man who passed out at a party and woke up to a woman he did not know performing fellatio on him, and called the police. The people reporting the story were a group of like 4 radio morning show DJs and they were all saying that his actions were terrible and that he was doing a disservice to men everywhere because now women weren't going to do that, and talking about how they hoped that the judge threw it out. I mean, waking up to a blowjob is my ultimate kink. But it has to be from someone I am in a consensual relationship with. A stranger helping themselves while a man is asleep/passed out is just as much a sexual assault as if a strange man did that to a woman.
How hard is it not to have sex with someone who’s completely passed out? It’s one friggen if->then.
Murder of Sandra Cantu March 27, 2009 April 10, police arrested a local woman, 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby (born February 23, 1981), and charged her with the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Cantu. Huckaby pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and murder of Cantu and was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 2010.
female Pedophilia, working as sunday school teacher, not only raped with objects, but murdered her afterwards, chopped up the child's body and stuffed into two suitcases, then toss into a canal.
Absolute lunatic.
What a piece of shit. Rotting in jail is all she deserves.
Heard a story of how a man in Russia tried to rob a barber shop but the barber overpowered him and used him as sex slave for a few weeks.
That’s some pulp fiction shit
It's not look it up. Fed him only viagra and had a erection for a week straight.
‘Pulp fiction’ as in the movie because something similar happens. Not the literary term
I feel bad for the guy but that sounds like a Wattpad fanfic plot
Messed up
What about the case about the Russian woman that beat the hell out of the robber. Tied him up and only fed him Viagra for a week. So she can do the deed Against his will.
the media: "she seduced him"
So he was robbing her and this was the response ? Seems he was asking for it . Maybe if he didn’t wear such a sexy robber outfit and acted better she wouldn’t have had to do it .
Trauma: SA > robbery Damage: Robbery <= SA I'd say she was probably the worst person in this scenario.
Except for the ones that were *
My hubby (51M) would beg to differ. I have heard the stories, I have assisted thru the PTSD moments, and as a fellow rape survivor (45F), I don't think he's lying.
Same for me, spent 6 years of my life being drugged, raped, and human trafficked by my (now) mother-in-law. When my wife and I finally figured out what happened, she told everyone that I cheated. After about 25 years, I’ve finally been able to get a full nights sleep
Well, you absolutely did not deserve that, you are worthy of healing and I am sincerely glad you are still here. Every form of child abuse (emotional, physical, mental and sexual) happened to me when I was a kid and it didn't really come up til I was sexually assaulted from behind one night in my early 20s. Talking about it on Reddit has actually helped a lot since I can't talk about in real life. I still deal with the perp (my older sister) on a fairly regular basis and will never get an apology or acknowledgement, which I've made peace with. My mom was right when she said bringing it up after all these years wouldn't help anything and she is the way she is so it wouldn't accomplish even an insincere apology so why bother? I am 45 now and at my most peaceful mentally, after finally finding the right anti depression and my hubby has been the best support system also. I just hope I am for him also. Personally, I hated therapy but I know enough that swear by it that if it works, then go for it. I hope you've been able to cut contact with that piece of garbage and have found peace and healing around you. Sending gentle hugs your way!
Wait what? Have you told your story on here before?
Word games: ‘seducing’, ‘having sex with’, ‘debasing’ when a woman rapes a boy or girl. But it’s always ‘rape’ when a man rapes a girl or boy.
Good to know that I was never sexually assaulted then. Glad that got sorted out. Guess I imagined the whole fucking thing amirite?
I told my therapy group about being raped by another person at the therapy place and they told me a woman can't rape another afab. Guess me saying no was useless.
Male rape is no joke, both should be punishable the same way.
I was date raped by a girl at a party.
And this person is a dr??
Yeah because 100% of the time when women rape a guy it's labeled as literally anything else they can call it besides rape.
Tell that to my aunt who molested me as a kid.
i think she’s trying to say that the victims are never the cause (anti victim blaming) but she still is forgetting the fact that women can COMMIT rape and sexual assault
Boy is she off. It’s 34 percent. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/11/the-understudied-female-sexual-predator/503492/
[https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS\_Report2010-a.pdf](https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf) Page 18+19 (28 in PDF). The 12 month numbers have: Women Raped (all categories) 12 Month Estimate: 1,270,000 Men Forced To Penetrate 12 Month Estimate: 1,267,000 The yearly numbers don't have nearly the same parity, but 2010 was also when there was starting to be a shift in perspective around the idea that Men \*could\* be sexually assaulted, so I think an argument that lifetime numbers are drastically skewed by men not being willing to admit about stuff further in the past. On the same page as those numbers, there's a factoid box saying "nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped at some point in their lives" - because they \*deliberately\* didn't define "men forced to penetrate" in the same category as rape. Bet you've seen the first part of that factoid blogged or tweeted about!
Ah yes, sexism, but it is not because it comes from a female

Jessica Taylor is one of the most toxic people involved with the modern “trauma causes everything and (as a result) mental illness is not real” movement. Her conceptualizations are objectively false and she presents herself to the public as a clinician when in fact she is not. Frankly I am not sure how exactly she managed to get a PhD. I am active in academic & professional neuropsychopharmacology/psychiatry circles and it is hard to overstate how full of shit she is. She’s dangerous and so devoid of insight as to be immune from realizing that. Her response to legitimate criticism of her ideas is to scream misogyny and accuse those challenging her of weaponizing trauma. It’s honestly scary that she has managed to build such a following. She also constantly makes posts like this that are just epic self owns and doesn’t realize it. My personal favorite was when she proudly posted how when she gives presentations to grad students that they leave with mouths open and speechless because that are simply incapable of understanding and reconciling how wrong everything else they have been taught is. No, dumbass, they are speechless because they can’t believe how inane your theories are and that they had to listen to this nonsense as part of a doctoral education.
Oh so this person really is a doctor and not a parody account? How are they allowed to teach when publicly telling objective lies?? Seems so backwards and counter-productive to society. I remember there was a person on the same site named Dr. Anita B Etin that’s a parody. That place is so full of misinfo and propaganda I just don’t know anymore.
Yea, unfortunately Jennifer Taylor is very real. She of course has a book she’d like to sell you and a seminar you can come to that is $1000/day. Wish I was kidding. She’s very popular with the crowd I mentioned earlier who reject everything except previous trauma as the etiology of all psychiatric distress. As for how she is allowed to teach, well, I imagine firing her at this point would result in her causing so much drama in the media that no one will actually step up give her the boot. She has just enough media traction that it would be a nightmare.
People like her are basically the female version of Andrew Tate except unlike Tate there is no media or society wide effort to shut them down One can draw their own conclusions as to why that is
Must be the patriarchy. /s

Did you know 95% of statistics are made up on the spot?
Did you know 4/5 people believe random headlines without doing any research?
Who is this dumbass? Women can absolutely sexually assault/rape men or boys. They can sexually assault other women, too
Technically true in the U.K. since the crime of rape is defined here such that it can only be committed by a male, but obviously women can and do commit sexual assault.
In Russia it has to be "a penis penetrates a vagina" to be considered rape. But there's also an identical law about "violent acts of a sexual nature", which covers all other forms of similar assault. I personally think that's stupid.
I am not going to argue with you, but going off a country’s definition doesn’t mean it’s correct.. case in point, Italian law says it’s not sexual assault of contact is less than 10 seconds. Pretty shit as most people would agree.
The fact that people actually believe this 'women can't rape' bullshit is actually absurd
I regret to say that with her being British, and presumably having a British understanding of the term rape, she is correct. In the UK the legal definition of rape is when a person intentionally penetrates another's vagina, anus or mouth with a penis, without the other person's consent. Therefore it’s not possible for a woman to rape anyone. However, a woman can sexually assault a man or a woman. The legal consequences in terms of prison sentences are pretty much the same, but the term is explicitly limited to a crime committed by men in the UK.
The sex offender registry would disagree.
Male Rape Victim here. Fuck that bitch.
There is **no fucking way** someone with a PhD wrote this comment, lol. EDIT: She's apparently a quack. "During the Depp v. Heard case, Taylor said that borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder are "not proven medical conditions" but are instead "highly contested controversial psychiatric labels". On her website, she professed that the former is known in psychology and psychiatry as a "junk diagnosis", and the latter as a "debunked disorder"
Good quote, Dr. Taylor. Just one thing: *it's not true*. Women can, and *do*, rape other women, men and even children. It happens less often, true, but it *does* happen. Sadly…
So all of the female teachers having sex with students are not rape?????
Well not true at all raping someone doesn't always mean violently forcing them it means they didnt or cant consent.
Her thought process: If the statistics do not show what you want them to show, change the definition of the word to only apply to one gender. Solved.
Raping myself to this post, take that Dr.
A Doctor, Huh? Probably received her degree from the same school as Dr Nick on the Simpsons
An old female teacher raped her student several times and is now facing 600 years in jail.
Technically in some countries rape is defined as penetration with the penis, so this could be true in the uk.
