Ask Men on Sidechat | I feel like something a lot of men don’t understand is that a lot of the time people don’t rape people intentionally or maliciously. I lot of the time it’s a misunderstanding of consent, still obviously wrong tho we need better education about consent.

While I like your point and this is an ask men forum, I think often women do not know this as well, either as a victim or often as a perpetrator

It’s really not that complicated. I think the majority of cases are either someone being intoxicated / not in the state of mind to be reasonably capable of consent or pigs who a) try to convince someone b) just don’t care to ask or c) view women as less than human and do whatever they can. Most cases probably aren’t strictly violent, but involve pressuring

This guy just assumed I was fine with it without asking. I thought for so long it was my fault for not saying anything but honestly it was on him for not asking and just going ahead. Right?

Also adds to women perps and male victims being so unreported

I think it’s more important for men to know. And my question is do yall agree or have any opinions?

OP 5w

I agree it’s important for men to know, many don’t know they have been assaulted. Myself I didn’t realize the first time I was until years later

Disclaimer: I’m a guy who has met some victims of sexual assault, but I haven’t heard their stories. Any guy with a brain should know you just don’t touch anyone without consent at the very minimum. Idk why this isn’t taught in high school health. Probably because abstinence-based education just likes to act like none of this exists

Ya it’s more so the blurred line of consent when drunk. I’m a girl but that’s why I stopped drinking for the most part, because made mistakes while I was drunk that Ik I wouldn’t have done sober, I realized the only way to control the outcome would be to stay sober. Now, the guys who had sex with me while I was blacked out are defenitely questionable but at least now I can control it by staying sober.
