[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the tangent and bizarre focus on the break-up example is strange, and if anything is diluting this topic, it's that.  As others have stated, rape is a real problem.  Boys not truly understanding consent is a real problem.

So can we all just stop with the more far-fetched scenario that is being thrown out here?  There are coercion examples that would most definitely constitute as rape.  I don't see anyone here saying that every situation where a guy is a jerk and begs for sex to be rape, but I do see a lot of dismissal of the overall facts about rape, and how a lot of guys just don't get it.

In other words, all this nitpicking bullshit is stupid, and I think most of us agree more than we disagree.  [/quote]

However that was a perfect example of the dilution of the rape definition. The previous posters were talking about verbal emotional manipulation as now being rape. Yes verbal emotional manipulation may be horrible, but it is not rape.

Withholding affection as sexual assault as campus policy happened at University of Michigan: http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/19448/
he other examples, such as “discounting the partner’s feelings regarding sex … criticizing the partner sexually … withholding sex and affection,” are found.
Also included in the definition of sexual violence is the example of having “sex with other people.” 
yes bad behavior - but not sexual assault

As for the study saying that campus men would get away with rape if they could: Another example of a flawed biased study aimed at furthering an agenda. Just like the one in 5 women surveys being raped where even their authors have admitted is not representative. I trust the Department of Justice survey as it is biased and systematically designed - showing that your daughter is safer on campus than off.

Seventy-three men from a single college do not accurately represent the views of “college men.” A survey at one school is of course not representative, and such a small sample size statistically means the 31.7 percent number could probably be off by double digits. Sure, the outlets eventually explain how small the study was in the body of their posts. But we live in an age where most people don’t read beyond headlines or tweets. This is how false information spreads. Many people will see this “news” and assume that it represents the views of college men in general, because that is what these headlines (falsely) assert. This movement’s repeated use of these tactics, like the debunked one-in-five-sexually-assaulted statistic, will eventually discredit it — something that is particularly devastating when we’re talking about an issue as serious as rape.
