Your initial statement is the context for this back and forth:

>But if he let it run the course, was it really an assault?

Yes, is the answer.

Muscles have nothing to do with it…but, of course, we know nothing of the boy’s muscles so it really is a waste of time to generalize on gender differences of perps/victims in terms of physical features.

Always happens unless the woman is absolutely grotesque. The report could have included weapons, being tied down, etc.

For the record, both males and females can become sexually aroused during these events completely against their will. Males often report not fighting back for fear of hurting their assailant, not being believed, or being accused themselves.

Wow. I'm going to now assume you're a male then? Or associate as being one?

You, my dear neighbor, made a comment that was extremely generalized and grossly incorrect. My one snarky comment got yourself all insulted? To generalize that most of the men commenting on this isn't at least partially, deep down, a little relieved to finally share that "shame on" you spotlight with a female? Honestly, I would be at least a little bit and I wouldn't blame a single male that did. What do I take issue with is making comments that are grossly understating what a female has to deal with every single day and how they have been raised in this society and how they are dealt with.

Can we have one post about a male sexual assault victim without comments saying “people would care if the victim was female!” Because no they don’t always! And do these commenters even care about this victim and other male victims? Or do they just want to complain about girls and women have it so much easier? Where is the actual concern for this poor kid? (Edited bc I hit post too soon)
