If she'd rushed/freaked out, the girl would have probably let go.

...I specifically said 'standard assault' so it was clear I'm not talking about torture. Derp.

"have you ever talked to someone who drowned and was resuscitated? I have, so idon't really care what YOU consider to be "very well known"

"PTSD as both involve another human being inflicting deliberate harm and humiliation."

I'm trying to figure out, at this point, whether or not you are satire. I never said it was 'simply about' values system and cultural factors. I'm talking about why an individual would have PTSD in response to one event and *as opposed to another.* You're talking about people more disposed to PTSD (why an individual

Do you crowd source all of your knowledge? It's very well known that when drowning, one experiences a sense of calm/peace right before blacking out.

Rape victims are statistically more likely to have PTSD than who?

Are you *sure* she isn't dead

Nothing in your post counters my claim that the emotional trauma and shame of rape is founded in purity myths. You talk about the memory but you'd remember any horrible thing that happened to you. Why is the memory of a rape worst than the memory of another type of assault?

1. "As a rape victim I think you are totally wrong" - same

Except that the ones that don't. But I can see we're no longer having a logical discussion about a specific topic.

I didn't say every one involves popular athletes, I said the social standing of the victim and the perpetrator heavily influences the public response. If you were to look at who gets away with rape and who is more likely to be charged and sent to jail, I'm sure there are obvious trends.

Why? Is there any logical way to reason such a thing? I honestly think considering rape 'the worst thing' is part of rape culture. It's founded in purity myths. That doesn't make the trauma felt by victims any less valid, of course.

I don't think so. There are notable (and well documented) differences between the benefit of the doubt given to someone we like and admire (or just find physically attractive) and everyone else. If he'd been a creep, socially awkward kid and raped the prom queen, we'd never have heard about it because it would have

you think you're making much more sense than you are because you're mistaking your cynicism for cold rational discussion. If you sneak into someone's bunk and initiate sex and they say they don't want to have sex, you leave. If you continue sex anyway (which he would have had to have dive, if she told him to stop

I have actually wondered this myself. I think there are lot of really common scenarios where the sex is both consensual and nonconsensual at different periods in the act.

Apparently it's a thing to not answer them in order to keep a person from being able to try again. You just leave them in Internet limbo.

'Treated like a lady'? Do you think this guy sends his dick to other dudes? How about 'treated like a normal human.' But don't worry, I can tell you aren't defending the dick pic but the 'there are greater issues!' bullshit is getting old. The Internet is big enough for us to complain about idiots who send dick pics

You really think the women bitching about it are dating guys who do it? The truth is that some women are into it (a minority) and some—too many—pretend it's okay so as not to be called prudes or because the guy is all right otherwise.

It is 100% this. We need PSA's. I even made a flow chart on tumblr titled DOES SHE WANNA SEE UR DICK?: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE.
