9	Campus Rape Trial Violated Rights of Accused Male Student, Judge Rules This ruling is about due process, and from everything I've read, it doesn't address affirmative consent standards	/r/MensRights	15/07/15 05:09 AM
1	Student Body president completely dodges the question when asked how she would respond to lawyer's concerns that affirmative consent would shift the burden of proof to the accused. I'm not a lawyer, so I'll have to defer to the experts on this one. I've spent some time looking online, and so far I haven't found any credible sources suggesting this point relates to affirmative consent. Do you have any links to support your claim that it does? As defined in the Title IX Dear Colleague letter: "Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexu…	/r/MensRights	14/07/15 11:46 PM
0	Double standards X-post from r/newsoftheweird These stats apply. I agree w/ you that "sexual assault" is a more appropriate term to describe groping, but I tried to use terms consistent with the ROC report itself. They use the term "sexual harassment" throughout the report, but they indicate in their methodology section (p.10) that it includes sexual touch and assault: The survey, to the extent possible, avoided the term sexual harassment, and asked about a range of behaviors from those three groups across four categories: verbal behaviors,…	/r/MensRights	14/07/15 08:34 PM
2	Student Body president completely dodges the question when asked how she would respond to lawyer's concerns that affirmative consent would shift the burden of proof to the accused. 28 Harvard Law professors have formed a coalition against it Are you talking about this open letter? Affirmative consent is not among its listed concerns -- which makes sense, since the letter specifically addresses Harvard's sexual misconduct policy, and Harvard hasn't adopted an affirmative consent standard. Or are you talking about something else? EDIT: added link	/r/MensRights	14/07/15 05:38 PM
1	Double standards X-post from r/newsoftheweird Page 27 of the ROC report indicates that: 63% of female restaurant staff reported ignoring sexual harassment from guests 13% reported feeling pressured to go along with it 33% reported reporting it to management <1% reported reporting it to EOCC or state authorities (not explicitly stated; inferred from graph) If very few female restaurant staff report sexual harassment from guests to the EOCC or state authorities, it seems safe (and logical) to assume that few of their harassers would be arrest…	/r/MensRights	13/07/15 09:21 PM
-2	Double standards X-post from r/newsoftheweird This adequately explains the disparity in reaction towards crimes of a sexual nature towards men and women. But it does nothing to support your claim that: If the roles were reversed the men would have been arrested & sentenced within days for sticking their hands in a women's skirt. In contrast, the ROC report suggests that "if the roles were reversed," the female restaurant worker would also be unlikely to see her harassers / assaulters arrested and sentenced. In the United States (and I suspe…	/r/MensRights	13/07/15 07:33 PM
-3	Double standards X-post from r/newsoftheweird You said: If the roles were reversed the men would have been arrested & sentenced within days for sticking their hands in a women's skirt. I'm asking, do you have any evidence to support that claim? The ROC report indicates that waitresses in the U.S. experience high rates of sexual harassment from customers and, due in part to fear of negative repercussions, they rarely report it -- so most men (and others) who stick their hands up waitresses' skirts probably go unpunished. I expect this is lik…	/r/MensRights	13/07/15 06:34 PM
2	Double standards X-post from r/newsoftheweird Do you have any evidence to support this claim? In the United States, the Restaurants Opportunities Centre (ROC) recently reported that both male and female restaurant workers report experiencing high rates of sexual harassment from guests (p. 13): Nearly 80% of female respondents and 55% of male respondents reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment from guests 59% of female and 50% of male reported receiving harassment from guests on at least a monthly basis 33% of female and 25% of …	/r/MensRights	13/07/15 04:49 PM
