Communication is so important.

In Oklahoma they don’t consider oral sex as rape if the person is sleeping due to drugs or alcohol. :\ https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/27/oral-sex-rape-ruling-tulsa-oklahoma-alcohol-consent

Draconian and victim blaming to the max.

That's awful...

Barbaric

@Pamela I think that's a big "college" state

Where sports dominate over everything

it's terrible

I remember the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" where one of the intro scenes a little girl is told by her mom that a boy is being mean to her because he actually likes her

I forgot about that Lynn

Yes, I distinctly remember that and people telling me that growing up

We are steeped in a culture of toxic and hegemonic masculinity.

Those normalized sayings are so harmful because it affects how we view what's okay and what's not. From an early age, we learn to let go of people being mean... because it's apparently a sign that they like us. How confusing is that?!

Women are internalizing too.

@Catherine yes those toxic words " Did I Let myself.."

Yup Angeli!

it is almost ingrained in us to always be vigilant

Yup

@Priscilla those fears we hold literally make us sick and so unhealthy too Thank you for mentioning that

there is definitely a stigma with men speaking up when they experience this

I’ve heard 1:5 men are assaulted. And then there’s the problem of under-reporting because of… toxic masculinity.

Brock Turner raped a unconscious woman behind a trash bin and the media and others talked about how sending him to trial/jail would destroy his future. It's maddening that that sort of conversation takes place. F&*k his future.

I think people often see a person expressing their sexuality, as an excuse or invitation to sexual objectify them

I know multiple friends who wore wedding rings to prevent that from happening but sometimes that didn't work.

That's disgusting Tammie!

I agree Julianna

@Tammie - It was infuriating when news headlines would say "Brock Turner star athlete" to somehow make him look like a better person... UGH

@Tammie-I think that judge eventually was recalled. It was just a horrible case.

Thank you Pamella!
