The rate of those women who said they were between the ages 12 and 17 the first time that (strangling) happened had shot up to 40 percent from one in four.

Please, please, please if you have heterosexual boys, talk to them and tell them this is not okay, and is truly dangerous.
I happen to be criminal defense attorney and can tell you that anyone who was accused of doing this to someone against their will would be looking at attempted murder charges if reported.
This is 100% a pron thing. There is a disturbing amount of pron content that depicts men choking their partners and their partners appearing to like it.
While I'm sure it's true some women legit DO enjoy being choked, I am willing to bet that's an extreme minority. And so you need to empower your daughters to assert themselves if someone tries this with them without their consent (and also teach them they don't need to consent just to please a partner). Knee the guy in the testes if you need to. Scratch him if you need to. Whatever it takes to get him off you. Then either have a frank conversation about consent and boundaries or kick him to the curb.

I am not blaming them but making it clear it is a problem for both sexes. OP was making it about boys only when both boys and girls need to be aware and parents need to speak to both.
Seriously, DID YOU READ IT?!?
Some of these girls have been seriously harmed or even died!!
So? It appears to be consensual. Blaming this on boys is sexist. And wrong.

I guess you didn't read the article? It describes some consensual behavior but also boys strangling girls mid-sec without asking. Girls can't breathe to say no. Criminal, not consensual.
