College claims that heavy breathing in the presence of a woman is "psychological rape"

anillop · 2014-02-28T17:16:45+00:00

Last I checked there is not such crime as "psychological rape", the producers of this site might want to look into that.

oneiorosgrip · 2014-02-28T16:44:12+00:00

Oh, my god... as a severe asthmatic female who likes to exercise anyway, I've apparently raped myself thousands of times. What am I supposed to do about that?

DoTheWomboCombo · 2014-02-28T16:27:27+00:00

Wow, I'm not from the USA, but to me it seems like you're permanently standing with one foot in jail when you visit college or university as a male being.

ILoveHate · 2014-02-28T18:06:59+00:00

Oh god. I almost attended that university. Almost chocked when I read the name.

Also, women are objects for men to take? Really? I didn't realize blowing tons of money on a woman, constantly walking on egg shells around her, always trying to entertain and impress her, only to maybe get laid every once in a while was "taking".

I hope men read this and follow the advice. The less attention men give women the better everyone is off.

Oh and I just did a quick check since they always make a big deal about rape on campus. U of M has 43,710 students. And according to this there were 1-2 rapes a year and 17 acts of sexual assault. So much for 1 in 4.

I've been a long time lurker of this subreddit for months, but have never commented on any /r/MensRights post until now, as I feel I can contribute something to this discussion. Being a psychology student, I have seen some horrible misuse of the word "psychological" in just about every context when people try to tell me something they've "learned" about psychology. Usually, I let it pass and quietly take whatever botched definition they try to spin at me. I think people like to use this word like a infatuated teenager throws the word "love" around while not truly understanding the meaning of it. I think the reason they do this is simple. Words such as love and psychological can be interpreted by many different people many different ways. To psychologically rape someone, you would not only have to create a feeling of uneasiness (which breathing heavily MIGHT do for some women), but you'd also have to foster prolonged mental distress, anguish, fear, immense unsubsiding sexual tension, and/or sexually suggestive actions by the offender, and a feeling of helplessness to the victim, but most importantly, a feeling of sexual objectivity and intrusion of personal space against the victim's will. I believe there is such a thing as psychological rape, but heavily breathing is not in that.

Yes, I hate being the target of whistling, catcalling, and overly-persistent horny men, but having survived REAL acts of violence, I find the use of the term "verbal rape" pretty insensitive and invalidating to my experiences.

angryletterwriter · 2014-02-28T21:39:22+00:00

In particular, men are encouraged to take whatever they want. Thus women are no longer viewed as people. Instead they are viewed as objects to please men, to be taken.

They just took a wild leap from a wild assumption. This whole thing is complete dog shit. I feel like every sentence should have [citation needed] after it. And apparently our society tolerates widespread violence now? I guess if you redefine violence to include a man breathing then yes.

Fallout · 2014-02-28T16:55:18+00:00

It has to be at least/most annoying. Edit: I'm pretty sick of feminist.. their complaints are lame in general. Mostly (in western cultures) the complaints are a compiled list of annoyances.. cell phone size, video games, being objectified.. added to the list heavy breathing. These are not examples of oppression.. they are examples annoyances. Feminism in western cultures are turning annoyance into serious social problems by labeling them as such. Feminism is failing wrt "gender equality" and will continue to do so without restructuring their supposed "egalitarian" philosophies that regard men as a privileged social class.

Dakrys · 2014-02-28T21:22:03+00:00

...one out of 12 men admitted to fulfilling the legal definition of rape, but did not admit raping someone.

This is what gets me. I have 2-6 drinks. My girl has 2-6 drinks. She initiates sex. We get it on. I raped her? Please. That's a regular occurrence. In fact, I've probably "raped" her dozens of times.

We walked by a sign on campus yesterday that said, "Alcohol is the most popular date-rape drug."

I mean, come on. We laughed about it. She told me, "Well, in that case, if you don't rape me tonight I'm gonna be pissed."

Gotta love a girl who thinks feminism is ridiculous.

qoppaphi · 2014-02-28T20:44:20+00:00

Feminism: trivializing rape, then blaming teh patriarchy, one step at a time.

Tips for men to avoid being accused of "psychological rape."

1.) Be attractive. 2.) Don't be unattractive.

Remember, the fat guy who is out of breath walking up the stairs? Potential rapist. The eye-candy from Diet Coke commercials still sweaty and panting from their shirtless tennis match? Acceptable.

slideforlife · 2014-02-28T18:08:54+00:00

No jogging!

iongantas · 2014-02-28T19:21:37+00:00

I think uttering obviously stupid remarks is psychological rape, so there!

thomasin500 · 2014-02-28T19:32:56+00:00

That's some bullshit right there

Le4chanFTW · 2014-03-01T12:30:24+00:00

We live in a sexist society in which men have privileges and prerogatives unavailable to women.

Sorry, OP, but when something starts off as batshit as this, I just can't find it in myself to continue reading.

IllBeGoingNow · 2014-02-28T18:20:04+00:00

OMG why would ANY MAN go to this cesspool of hate ?

In my view sending a young man to go to this college is tantamount to child abuse.

2014-02-28T19:17:52+00:00

Damn it.. U of M :(

Doctor_Loggins · 2014-02-28T21:14:06+00:00

I can think of some things characterized as "heavy breathing" that are probably dickish to do.

While I disagree that being obnoxious is "psychological rape", you know damn well that heavy breathing can be obnoxious

Aaod · 2014-02-28T22:06:15+00:00

stares. These are all assaults on any woman’s sense of well-being. The underlying intention is to intimidate the woman. They are power plays couched in the language of sex.

Staring at someone is assault? How is this even being taken seriously?

Eezyville · 2014-02-28T22:23:03+00:00

To all humans born male: By next year the passive-aggressive act of EXISTING will be considered rape. Did you happen to exist near a human female? Prepair to be a sex offender for all time, so beyond death.

Next up: Preregistering rapists. Are you a strong, independent woman? Do you think you're attractive? Is there a man nearby? Studies show that there is a 90% chance that he has raped you in some way, form, or even a past life.[1] Report him so we can register the dangerous felon.

typhonblue · 2014-02-28T22:35:15+00:00

Don’t allow yourself to be entertained by rape. Rape is a common device used in the media. Many of the myths about rape are depicted in the media. Refuse to watch shows that use rape to “turn on” the audience.

wut?

giegerwasright · 2014-03-01T14:28:14+00:00

Funny. Just the other day, I was walking to a friend's place and having myself a think. I was thinking about how feminists are increasingly co-opting and appropriating public spaces for themselves by using damselling tactics to criminalize male participation in those spaces.

It's a lot like when you're sitting in the back seat of the car with your little sister and she decides to be a brat. "Moooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Gieger's touching me!"

"No. I'm not."

"He keeps putting his elbow on me! Moooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" (notice the intentionally accented and exaggerated tone? That serves the purpose of annoying mom so that her real goal becomes making the annoying sound stop and not getting to the bottom of the issue)

"Gieger, stop putting your elbow on your sister. Move over."

So, you move over. What does little sister do? She slowly and steadily inches closer to you until

"Moooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! He's doing it again!!! He won't stop it!!!"

"I'm not doing anything. She's half in my seat now."

"Mooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! He keeps putting his elbow on me!!! Mooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!"

And the tears start. Mom reaches back blindly and smacks you.

"Gieger, I said stop it."

So you get yourself as close to the hull of the car as you can. But little sister knows exactly what she's doing. And a moment later, she's howling again.

"Gieger, when we get home, your step father is going to deal with this."

And you get your ass kicked because your little sister has learned this fucking young how to commit proxy violence without a single repercussion to her self.

And we're seeing this played out in a larger scale. Inch by inch, they're pushing men out of society. First we can't touch them, which is a good idea. Then we can't say certain things to them. Then we can't say anything to them. Then we can't say certain things at all. Then we can't go in certain places. Then we can't even look at them.

This is where I landed in my think. We aren't even allowed to look at them now. How soon until they're complaining about us breathing the same air as them and raping their lungs with our exhalations.

Looks like it was just a matter of months.

workerdaemon · 2014-02-28T19:11:13+00:00

Its not psychological rape, its just sexual harassment. Fuckin'a, not everything is a shade of rape.

STOP BREATHING, disgusting rapey pig males. Check your oxygen privilege.

HeyLookItsaMoose · 2014-02-28T22:08:58+00:00

I as a male have been 'cat called' by women when I run in my local park, but you know what I didn't feel? Raped. Maybe I should have gone and told those teenage girls that I didn't appreciate how they were assaulting my sense of wellbeing. I probably even would have if I hadn't been so intimidated by their power play couched in the language of sex. Ugh.

magicaxis · 2014-02-28T22:40:34+00:00

My nose is blocked up and I just want for a jog...oops, looks like I've just raped every woman I went by

Mythandros · 2014-02-28T22:54:46+00:00

I have a very simple and elegant solution to this problem. Boycott the college. We should have a MASS of people call them and explain to them why they will NOT be attending this college, and why a competing college will get the money and not them. If enough people do this, the administration will realize. Ideologues tend to change ideologies quite quickly when there is no food on the table.

Lucretius · 2014-02-28T22:58:19+00:00

So Darth Vader really was raping Princess Leia in that Death Star cell? Or does he get a free pass for being disabled?

lordslag · 2014-02-28T23:43:24+00:00

Pretty soon, having a penis is going to be proof that you're a rapist. Feminism has become the rot of America, it's what's going to defeat us from within, just like Lincoln warned.

2014-03-01T03:06:17+00:00

We live in a sexist society in which men have privileges and prerogatives unavailable to women. To support these sexist patterns, men are taught to be dominant, and women are taught to be submissive. In particular, men are encouraged to take whatever they want

Stopped reading there.

dolandoes · 2014-03-01T07:29:30+00:00

"heavy breathing"

"These are all assaults on any woman’s sense of well-being."

Overweight/obese men are now de facto psych-rapists.

Perhaps this is just reverse-psychology for encouraging hefty men to get in better shape; or, it could just be outright nonsensical.

porkchop_d_clown · 2014-02-28T16:36:27+00:00

It says at the bottom that the text is an excerpt from another organization. So its not attributable to the university.

coyotechoir · 2014-02-28T17:48:00+00:00

I'd just like to point out the fact that in the correct context this can be construed as a form of sexual harassment for sure. Have had this happen to me (yeap, I'm a woman), wherein a dude followed me around making kissy sounds intermixed with heavy breathing and let me tell you, it was fucking uncomfortable.

2014-02-28T20:03:35+00:00

The only way to move forward here is by establishing a body within all institutions to bring about a balance. It's a big problem if we don't establish similar grievances with various things. Instead of laughing at this we should come together and find out what's psychological rape of men? We must make women similarly encumbered by various rules or we're going to lose. Right now they're winning.

What the ever flying effing eff to the a is psychological rape?

More important question, why haven't I become a hermit yet?

Well fuck me for being a male with lung problems, right?

Pretty-Pony · 2014-03-01T00:04:17+00:00

That's kindof bullshit.
If anything like that would have happened to me, I would have ignored it or got out of there if it bothered me that much. But, I'd be like "Ok, this is getting weird." Weird shit happens at college.

Sigbi · 2014-03-01T02:52:51+00:00

every single line of that page is the biggest load of shit and highly sexist towards men. Don't you Americans sue for less than this?

Raiden_Gekkou · 2014-03-01T04:53:20+00:00

So apparently we're not supposed to "trivialize" rape, but using terms such as "psychological rape" isn't doing just that? Pfffft.

2014-03-01T08:45:26+00:00

Being out of breath near a woman = Rape

Psycho-projecting your tulpa to telekinetically penetrate them, however, isn't.

Strange world we live in.

Wait, so my silly stares are rape too? Seriously? What is a silly stare? I didn't know something that would be defined as silly would also be a felony.

We need to do some research on this matter in other areas of crime.

Can you be charged with attempted murder for making the "gun finger" and shooting someone, it is silly but you DID shoot them! Who knows what caliber your finger is but we should arrest them too.

I should stop talking before I get arrested for silly posting.
