I just cannot imagine forcing myself onto anybody, why are men comfortable with coercing us?? Like I need to *know* my partner wants me before I try anything. 😭

And the best part is when no one believes you and takes his side. Also love when they try to explain it away like it didn’t or couldn’t hurt you

If you felt violated, you were violated. Period.

YES! I didn’t realize being SA’ed also included saying no until you finally give in! Crazy work

I’m trying to decide if my consent was dubious because I was too drunk the first time but then I went back and hooked up with him again while sober

Was it consensual? If no then yes it’s SA. If yes then at any point did you make the fact that you didn’t like it know? If yes then it’s SA. If no then it was not.

I have a rule for myself that I never stay in a situation with a man where I feel uncomfortable to avoid being rude. If you have a bad feeling about a date, cancel it. If you’re talking to an acquaintance at a party and it’s just off somehow, leave. If you want to have sex with him and then go up to his room and then as you’re walking in just get this sense of dread, leave. If you dont want to see him ever again but feel like you HAVE to break up with him in person… leave.

Another thing is body language. Like there’s no way these guys can’t read how uncomfortable a woman is. I feel like they just intentionally ignore it.

Exactlyyy. Like I was with a girl last semester and we started having sex and within a couple minutes she told me to stop and I stopped like it’s not that hard

it can still be SA if you don’t explicitly say no. a common trauma response in that situation is to freeze and stay silent.

the first and second times are separate. if you didn’t consent the first time it was still SA regardless of whether u did it again consensually

So many women have that same experience, where they didn’t want to do some sex thing but did it anyway because they didn’t know how to say no. It is almost impossible to avoid this unless you learn to prioritize your own need to feel safe and comfortable over both other people’s desires and what feels “socially appropriate” in the situation.

You got to reframe that some have just bad experiences that just want to forget about it . Instead of no’s insisted
