No it's not rape but as pointed out it's also something he wouldn't do to a guy so there's an underlying something there.

Edge @ 2/11/2017 21:43 I'm very happy that my BBPE board game is still going. Thank you all for signing up without knowing you signed up. How do we get bonus points?

By calling Igor a cunt. But for you I will just give you the bonus points, no task required.

I think outing the people who are doing this kind of stuff on a regular basis is a good thing because it helps us know who we're dealing with, it's almost impossible to fight against a problem you can't see.

Dadd @ 2/11/2017 14:38 Bryce @ 2/11/2017 14:09 What's an SJW? I didn't know either at first. Igor seems to use that term the most. There's a lot of people on this board that like to get offended for the sake of being offended. They don't even know what's so offensive about what they are getting riled up about.

i mean if i'm offended by something i can explain why it's offensive...

vladykins @ 2/11/2017 12:58 Mercator @ 2/11/2017 12:35 "No, it's not. That's like saying "Hey, we shouldn't try to stop people from drunk driving because people will do it anyway." No it's not like saying that That's what you think it implies for some reason. I've slept for 5 hours the past 48 hours and I CBF teaching how to think. It is, because it says that this only happens from sociopaths and since sociopaths are already messed up, then we can't do anything. This goes way beyond sociopaths, because men do not realize how embedded some of the behavior is. Again, bringing up the UK Defense Minister touching a woman journalist's knee. Dudes say "That's not rape- this is no big deal!" except for the fact that it is. He'd *never* have done that to a dude, ever. And if a dude did it to him, he'd have freaked the fuck out. It's like the rampant homophobia- saying shit like "the gays are recruiting" as if the only reason these guys aren't gay is because a gay guy never asked them out or something. Gay isn't a disease that gets passed from somebody to another- you either are or you aren't. But it's the culture we've established that allows shit like that. That case out of the UK is this most ridiculous thing I read about. 1. It was from 2002 2. She expressed she was uncomfortable with it and he stopped 3. She said it was not sexual harassment Where did anyone in this thread mention gays and the military in terms of sexual assault? Just you buddy.

1) The fact it happened in the first place *is* the problem. The fact you don't grasp that is also the problem.
2) I never mentioned the military (unless you consider me a Maddie multi). And I mentioned people's perception of gay as an example of a cultural issue that is slowly moving, despite certain people's strong attempts to derail it otherwise.

Touching someone's knee without asking for permission first can't be rape, can it? Wouldn't it be at worst sexual misconduct if it's persistent and he's like really touchy feely against her will.

As stated before, it's the fact he'd find it something he would do even without thinking. Again, it's the "You ever given a man a foot massage?" type of situation.

Since some are having such a hard time understanding this, let's change the situation. You are assigned a school project to interview a prisoner- death row guy who is very dangerous. During the interview, he puts his hand on your knee. How do you feel?
