Amy Diehl, Ph.D.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
cobalt@amydiehl This is very distressing. When I think of the immense pressure on young women in this present US era, it’s very difficult to avoid aggressive cis male predation. Far more than when I was in my early 20’s. And I have 2 very strikingly beautiful granddaughters who often deal with it.
Hannah CelsiusIt has always been like this. In my early 10's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and still now 60's. And long before. Hopefully not long after me.
First sentence introduction:
"What is striking about sexual aggression is that despite decades of research, public health initiatives, education, media attention, and policy focus, there has been no discernible decrease in rates since first assessed in the 1980s and 1990s."
@HannahCelsius @amydiehl Interesting 90% or so then!
I had thought there was more predatory attempts since the whole Andrew Tate and masculinity coaching online.
