Study (N=2,689) of men (18-34) finds 95.1% reported using strategies to get a woman to have sex who they knew did not want sex & had not consented; 65% successful. Consistent physical pressure & verbal coercion common; overt force, physical restraint, pain also used. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08862605261432630

@amydiehl OK, but the paper was focused on that demographic:

"This research was designed to focus on men who admit having intentionally and knowingly sexually aggressed against a woman who they knew did not want sex nor consented to it, including strategies to overcome her reluctance, circumstances, motivations, and positive and negative outcomes."

@gabriel That is a misreading, IMO. The criteria for participation were, "Men were eligible if they self-identified as men, were in the age range 18 to 34 years, and reported having had a sexual encounter with a woman in the past 2 years."

Also, if it were only for those who admittedly coerced, etc., then the percentage would have been 100, not 95.1.

I'm not misreading, I'm quoting the paper.

Also, there may be subtleties that lead to the question to not have 100%. Maybe someone identifies as a sexual attacker but not as a strategist. Or they were misidentified and they are not part of the universe. Or...

@gabriel You are quoting what the authors said the intention of the study was. I was quoting what the authors said the actual criteria for participation was.

@amydiehl

@gabriel Pretty sure we heard you the first time.

I simply think you're wrong.

@amydiehl

@LeslieBurns @amydiehl

That's fine, we can disagree. Have a nice evening.

@gabriel This is not a disagreement bro, you're straight-up misinterpreting the study
