| 1 | Q4everyone: Does this count as sexual assault?BTW, do you know for a fact that his dick was actually "inside her sleeping body" without her implied consent? After writing that you began describing how you imply consent with your husband by readjusting yourself, causing me to believe that you were suggesting that she may have behaved similarly while asleep and sent out "mixed signals". If that was not the case, then I'm not exactly sure what the point of that anecdote was. I don't know what exactly happened with the OP and her ONS. Neither d… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/17 08:01 AM |
| 2 | Q4everyone: Does this count as sexual assault?How is readjusting your body while you are asleep "implied consent?" Even if she did move her legs apart while asleep, she was asleep and unable to fully control herself or understand what is going on. Him misreading her movements while she is alseep as "implied consent" does not excuse his actions. He was not a guy who was married to a woman who is ok with being penetrated while asleep. He was a guy she had met and had sex with the night before. Your relationship with your husband is different … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/17 09:42 PM |
| 1 | Q4everyone: Does this count as sexual assault?So whether or not they had sex before determines if this is sexual assault, even though the woman never gave him permission to put his dick inside of her sleeping body? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/05/17 04:25 AM |
| 1 | Q4everyone: Does this count as sexual assault?I don't consider a guy waking up a woman with whom he was having consensual intercourse a few hours prior by continuing the intercourse in the morning and then stopping when she did indeed wake up and ask him to stop to be the crime of sexual assault. A few hours prior she consented to awake sex, when she was in an appropriate state of mind to give consent. Sleeping individuals are unable to give consent. ( or do tou believe otherwise?) They are unable to say "yes/no" or push someone off of them… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/05/17 02:32 AM |
| 1 | Q4everyone: Does this count as sexual assault?You want to switch from discussing an actual occurrence to hypotheticals. I don't. You're the one who first brought up a different scenario. Sleeping ≠ unconscious. This is true. I should have used "asleep" or "not awake" then. You don't consider putting your dick inside someone who is not awake and unable to consent to be sexual assault? If you want to wake someone up so you can have sex, you shouldn't just assume they would be ok with having you put your dick inside their sleeping body. Do you… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/05/17 07:02 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Consent workshops are warranted.You don't think that assuming an unconscious woman would be ok with having you put your dick inside of her is rape? You don't think that assuming someone gave consent to sex is rape? You don't consider non consensual sex to be rape? What would you consider to be rape? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/05/17 06:19 AM |
| 3 | CMV: Consent workshops are warranted.She expressed consent to conscious sex, not unconscious sex. Do you belive that having sex with someone once automatically gives that person the okay to do whatever they want sexually to the other person's unconscious body? Do you think that most people are ok with having their unconscious body being penetrated without having discussed it first? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/04/17 01:40 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Consent workshops are warranted.You said: No longer a random and no longer get to call it rape, imo. Which would imply that his lack of randomness a his previous (and brief) sexual encounter with her affects whether or not you consider it rape, right? But this wasn't rape. This was a misunderstanding. If someone doesn't understand that putting your dick inside of an unconscious person is rape, then they need to be educated on what is and is not consent. Unconscious people can't consent unless they have expressed previously tha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/04/17 12:36 PM |

Ask them if they think it is ok to touch/assault/penetrate them while they are unconscious. Do you think they would say yes?

You didn't answer that question. I asked you why you believed that most people don't know that being unconscious means no. You didn't answer that either. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/10/16 04:13 AM |

| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?"Fingering" is a mild term that implies sexplay rather than a non consensual activity. When used by itself, sure. When used in the the context of having an unconscious recipient, not so much. Not many people would think "she consented, it's totally fine" when reading that. And yes, most people don't know that non conscious means no. That's ridiculous, you can't possibly believe that. Ask any random person, ask your parents, ask your friends, if an unconscious person who didn't express beforehand… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/10/16 11:18 AM |
| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?Well, in that case, you are both inaccurate and imprecise. Saying that he fingered an unconscious woman was inaccurate? Did he not shove his fingers into an unconscious woman? And no, the notion of an unconscious person being unable to consent isn't that widespread. So if you went around asking people if an unconscious person can consent to sex, most would say yes? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/16 02:40 PM |
| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?"Fingering an unconscious person" is inaccurate You're confusing accuracy with precision. Whether or not the actions took place determines accuracy. Whether or not all of the details are stated determines precision. as we don't know whether prior consent has occurred. Having actions done to someone who is unconscious doesn't imply non consent? Is the consensual act of fingering a woman who is unconscious the standard? Do most people think "That was consensual" when reading about someone fingerin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/16 08:01 AM |
| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?So "fingering an unconscious woman" is minimizing because it doesn't have as much emotional charge as saying "digital rape of an unconscious woman" even if they are both accurate descriptions of what happened? Sure, I'll accept that if that's the case. I used the term "fingering" because the use of the word "digital" to describe fingers doesn't float around much in an average person's conversation (or at least mine). I didn't use "digital rape" by itself because it leaves out the context surroun… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/16 04:26 AM |
| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?Doesn't saying "he fingered an unconscious woman" imply that it wasn't consensual? Everytime I mentioned the word "fingered" the mention of the woman's unconscious state immediately followed in the same sentence. Do you think that most people would think to themselve, "yeah, that was definitely consensual," when reading those sentences? Is the digital penetration (fingering) of an unconscious woman's vagina defaulted at being consensual? It seems like you are focusing on the word while ignoring … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/16 01:44 PM |

But, no, I wouldn't say they should stay together at all. I'd say if they weren't sure though, perhaps knocking boots could have waited longer. Shouldn't sexual compatibility also play a part in deciding whether or not you would want to be in a long term relationship worth someone?

Or maybe it shows that the two people are no longer compatible or realize that they aren't compatible.

| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?Was anything that I said inaccurate? Saying that he fingered an unconscious woman is more accurate/descriptive than saying that he sexually assaulted a woman. Saying that he fingered an unconscious woman is more accurate/descriptive than saying that he digitally raped a woman. Or am I mistaken? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/16 04:15 AM |

| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?Drink responsibly, with no gender component, is one of those better paths. Agreed. I take it you are also against the whole "teach men not to rape" thing? If all you're doing is promoting the idea of responsible drinking I have no issue. Cool. But telling a victim what they should have done is both patronizing and unnecessary. Agreed. But what about telling others about what a victim could/should have done?

I don't know how the situation would have differed. Neither do you. You're right, I don't know. But I have a strong feeling that a guy who was so drunk that he nearly vomited on himself would have a harder time forcing himself on a sober/conscious woman than a drunk/unconscious one.

Therefore we can't know if the outcome would have been different. I asked you whether or not you believed they still would have gotten raped, not if you knew they would. Make an educated guess. Teaching him that he wasn't entitled to that "10minutes of action" would have meant she was safe, and the other girls there were safe. I agree.

I guess my point is some people aren't listening when told the first time. Do we stop trying to reach these people?

| 1 | Why is it considered victim blaming to suggest women can take certain precautions to lower the likely-hood that they get raped?But what is it about being women that makes them easier targets? Probably has something to do with the fact that women on average are smaller/weaker than men on average. And when you look at it that way, you have to look at the side of the rapist and how to prevent attitudes where it's ok to rape someone. Again, I believe we can do both.

Encouraging people to drink responsibly is a lot more reasonable than telling people not to leave their house. It seems more reasonable to focus on the perpetrator. Again, who says we can't do both?

It has been clarified to me that she isn't saying it was rape, she is apparently *asking if it was rape. Without verbal consent that is entirely up to her mindset at the time, and who initiated the sex. I'd say that it is up to whether or not she verbally told him "no/stop" and whether or not she reciprocated. If she didn't want to, didn't consent, and didn't initiate, it was rape no matter what her … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/16 02:59 PM |
| 1 | Have Girls and Women Changed Such that They Are Unable To Say "No" When They Do Not Want Sex?You're approach to sex and consent is fine and helps to avoid grey areas. But these grey areas of consent do exist for others. None of the woman's actions after the returned kiss give off the impression that she didn't want rhings to go further. She gave in to the kiss and then the kiss progressed to sex. "Implied consent" is only valid if interpreted correctly. It is entirely the responsibility of the initiator to be certain they have consent and to confirm if they're not sure. How else is some… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/16 02:33 PM |
| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.But would you accuse the jock of stealing the nerds lunch money? If a jock walks around in a threatening and imposing way and asks a nerd for his lunch money the nerd will give him the money. But he didn't consent to it; he resented to it, because of the implied threat of violence. "Threatening and imposing" according to who? The threat of violence is all in the nerd's head. The jock didn't threaten him for his lunch money, he asked for it. Even though the jock might not have been trying to scar… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/16 12:03 PM |
| 1 | Have Girls and Women Changed Such that They Are Unable To Say "No" When They Do Not Want Sex?She earlier said no to sex. She didn't say no to kissing. Him initiating a kiss while she was trying to sleep was wrong. She then returned the kiss. She didn't say no to the resulting make out session. She didn't say no to the groping the happened as a result of the make out session after her returned kiss. She didn't say no to things "heating up" as a result of the groping that resulted from her returned kiss. Things "heating up" from kissing sounds like a natural progression to sex.

| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.She was sexually assaulted and then returned the kiss. The resulting make out session after her returned kiss was consensual. Everything after the make out session was consensual. She mentioned that things "heated up." What does that look/sound like to you? Does it sound like she starfished? Does it sound like heavy petting? Does it sound like she was rejecting the progression to sex or participating in the progression to sex?

Did you consent to eating the cake? She returned the man's kiss. During the kiss, in her words things got heated. What do you think that means? Does it mean that she starfished, or that they were both making out with heavy petting? Things "heating up" during a make out session doesn't sound non consensual.

| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.I think I did a bad job at explaining my point. In the gun analogy the threat of harm is more apparent. Most people seeing a gun pointed at them will think "I might get shot. My life is in danger." I am arguing that the threat of rape in the woman's story was less apparent. You said before: Typically the standard is 'did you think you were in danger of X' and also 'would a reasonable person in your position think they were in danger of X'. If someone moved over you and attempted to kiss you, wou… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 06:25 PM |

| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.I see what you are saying, but in your gun scenario the perpetrator is actively threatening someone's life by waving around a gun. The man in the woman's story isn't actively threatening her or her vagina. He didn't hold her down or say anything, he moved over her and tried to kiss her. Would you automatically assume that a person leaning over you and attempting to kiss you was also intending on raping you? Do you believe most people would think they would also get raped? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 05:43 PM |
| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.She felt threatened, that doesn't necessarily mean that she was. She thought that he might rape her, that doesn't necessarily mean he was going to. In an effort to avoid a rape that she thought might happen, the woman returned the man's kiss and allowed things to "heat up" and result in sex. The initial kiss was wrong and shouldn't be considered as a normal form of escalation, but everything after her returned kiss was consensual. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 04:05 PM |
| 2 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.She kissed him back and then allowed it to progress into sex. That sounds like consent to me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 03:39 PM |
| 2 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.The initial interaction was sexual assault, yes. But was the resulting sex rape? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 03:33 PM |
| 0 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.I think we can all agree that the guy kissing the woman trying to sleep is a very bad thing, maybe even sexual assault. Though she did kiss him back and allowed things to progress to sex. In sure it was an uncomfortable situation and she has every right to feel violated, I just don't think this is really rape. Seems more like regret sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/16 03:18 PM |
| 1 | Rape Culture and the anatomy of a regret rape case.Kissing a woman who is trying to sleep is wrong on his part, it might even be considered sexual assault. I don't think that the actions afterward would be considered rape, though. She said that she kissed him back and that "things heated up" and they had sex. That sounds like consent to me. It also sounds like regret sex. She feared that she might get raped so she allowed things to progress. But the guy didn't threaten her.

| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessThat shouldn't be the case, though. Being accused of rape after a drunk girl pushes you onto a bed and then puts her own mouth on your dick is just silly. It would make sense if the drunk person's head was being forced down onto the sober person's genitals, but that didn't happen in Amy's story or in your hypothetical scenario. This looks more like "regret sex" than rape. | /r/MensRights | 21/08/16 01:29 AM |

| 0 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessAllowing a drunk guy to finger you, perform oral on you, and then have him fail to put his own penis into your vagina is considered rape now? Even if all she did was lay still on the bed and left after he passed out? | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 01:11 PM |
| 2 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessJust reread her story. She didn't "use his dick as a dildo while he was passed out." Where did you see this? In her story she says that the guy was humping her thigh and failed multiple times to put his penis insider her before passing out. Then she left. There was no penetration. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 12:54 PM |
| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessPenetration didn't even occur and all the sexual activity was initiated by the drunk male and performed on Amy. Saying it was sexual assault makes more sense to me than claiming it was straight up rape. She didn't take advantage of him. All she did was allow him to do whatever he wanted with her body before leaving after he passed out. Consent is the permission, approval, or agreement for something to happen.

| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessNot really. The guy was conscious when he pushed Amy onto the bed, gave her oral, and then failed to penetrate her. Amy left after he passed out. The "Stanford Guy" was actively thrusting into an unconscious woman. Not sure how you can say Amy is just as bad as him. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 11:19 AM |
| 0 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessEccept there was no sex and everything was initiated by the drunk person while the sober one just laid there. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 11:13 AM |
| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessThis is different from what happened in her story. She didn't try to have sex or try to get him to give her oral. He did that on his own. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 11:11 AM |
| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessShe didn't "bang" him. He gave her oral and then failed to penetrate her. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 11:09 AM |
| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessBut sex didn't even occur. There was no penetration and the drunk person was the one that was touching the sober person. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 09:17 AM |
| 2 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessBut she didn't even do anything. The guy was the active party. He invited her over, he pushed her onto the bed, he fingered her, he put his mouth on her genitals, he attempted (and failed) to penetrate her.

| 1 | Amy Schumer Disavows Her Own Friend Because He Believes Men Accused Of Rape Deserve Due ProcessContinuing to lie still on a bed while a drunk male gives you oral and fails to penetrate you before passing out is most definitely rape to you? | /r/MensRights | 20/08/16 07:05 AM |

| 1 | Deception as rape - a better exampleI just now realized that I phrased/worded my question as a statement instead of as... a question. Forgive me for "asking" again... and adding more questions. Why would you include an act of obvious rape in your "flipped script" scenario when the original scenario(s) only had deception? I feel that it is a distraction from the debate of whether or not sex resulting from deception should be considered rape. Why did you use this scenario to respond to TRPers' makeup deception analogy?

| 1 | Deception as rape - a better exampleI understand that this is what you believe. I just don't understand why you would include an obvious act of rape (an act that would be considered rape with or without the added deception) into a discussion about whether or not sex resulting from deception should be considered rape. I think this might be why a lot of people have an issue with your post, unless I am mistaken. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/07/16 03:37 PM |
| 1 | Deception as rape - a better exampleSo the rape wasn't due to deception like the brother scenario. It's the unwanted anal penetration that makes your scenario rape, not the deception. Right? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/07/16 02:30 PM |
| 1 | Deception as rape - a better exampleThe woman consented to having sex with her boyfriend, not the brother. The man in your scenario consented to having sex with the supposed woman, but did he consent to being anally penetrated? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/07/16 06:53 AM |
