I’m not going to do any math but I was raped by a 29 year old man when I was 15. It was one of my uncles friends and I had grown up around him.
He is a Scorpio. I only know because he tried to add me on Facebook years and years later.
Edit-it wasn’t just rape because I was 15. It was pretty violent and I had to dig my tampon out from the base of my cervix because he’d not bothered to notice I was on my period and had a tampon in.

One was a guy I went to school with, I was in the backyard laying out in the sun when he called and said he was coming to get some cds that he had loaned me. He was on his way and not far, so when I came back into the house to find the cds I was still in my swimsuit. He got there a couple minutes later to get the cds, I lived with my sister at the time but she wasn’t home she was working. (we were in our early 20s) it happened incredibly fast he basically pulled my bikini bottom down and forced me over the kitchen table, then it was over just as quick as it started. I was in shock so I didn’t flip out or fight him like I probably should have, but I never spoke to him again. I felt like since I knew him and since I was wearing a bikini, I kind of deserved it (thanks to social conditioning).
10 years later I would see him at my job because he had a baby with my coworker, he would say hi but I tried to avoid him, it was so uncomfortable. I never told her what happened I just wanted to forget it. I struggled with shame because I felt like I should have changed into clothes before he got there, but I wasn’t wearing the bikini to entice him, I was sunbathing long before he even announced that he was coming. Men should be able to control themselves regardless of what a woman is wearing. He was a cancer.

Sexually assaulted 4x
Attempted rape 2 of those times
Fought them and escaped both times. The men were never held accountable.
I do believe that most women experience these types of assaults at some point, or throughout, their lives. It’s a very scary world we live in that there are so many men who feel entitled to our bodies. Talking about it, hopefully empowers women to be safer (when applicable), fight back against their assailants (when applicable), and to have the courage to prosecute them. Talking about it, also helps bring awareness to the good men out there, that this is happening all the time everywhere, so they can fully condemn it. It’s time for men to be held accountable for their actions.

all women went through some kind of sexual abuse in life - and if men can't recognize that, they're part of the problem
as a scorpio moon, the idea of revenge is kind of enticing in this circumstance
have y'all ever watched "hard candy" (2005) and "promising young women" (2020)?
I do find it odd all women go though some type of sexual abuse. I've noticed most if not all women I've know have some type of tormentor due to some type of sexual abuse. It makes me wonder why. I refuse to believe women are weak, and just prone to this type of abuse. I know more then enough women who would kill a man or woman if they tried to betray her mentally or physically. There has to be something else. Something I can't quite describe, because I'm not a woman, nor have I been sexually abused. I have had a handful of women completely fool me and take advantage of my sex drive for some type of gain. Whether it be money, or just knowing the cards are forever in their favor. Though I can't use that as a point to argue anything. If I did I would be looked at as either masochistic, or one who blames victims. I want it to be known I'm neither of those. At least from my own perspective. One that us open for debate.click to expand

Hate it when people play mind games with sensitive issues. What kind of question is that?! Why not simply ask: Did you ever experience rape (if so how many times)? 🤨
That's like touching other sensitives topics like bullying or suicide and be like: "How many times did you enjoy getting beaten to a pulp? Or... How many beatings did it took - to get used to pain or the taste of your own blood? Or... How many times did your suicide attempts turn you on?" And so on and so forth...
The OP sounds so casual... as if it's a topic about beer consumption or smoking (especially the way the question is phrased). Jeez...
I actually found zero fault in how she wrote her OP. I understood 100%
To accuse her of game playing is a bit of a leap tho
Chalk it up to Mercury in synastry
Now if your post is meant to detract, I would please beg you to check yourself and ask yourself why you don’t want to stay on topic
Since you put it like that - you could apply the same theory to my Mercury (why you can't see my point of view - or why i can't see hers - through same logic as yours and such...). Coincidentally (since i don't like/intend to use astrology as a scapegoat) - my Mercury is in Taurus (practical way of thinking - dabbling with facts and figures) - which would imply that Mercury in Pisces confuses meh (don't even know your astrological placements - but Mercury in Pisces would fit - this conundrum).
Beyond the astro-talk - and to answer your question (well, what you seem to imply): No, i don't have any experience with rape - not even close. Unless it's about the non-sexual type, then yes - over 90% was non-consensual (on their part). But that's a thing of the past, distant past. For some might be helpful to talk about it (after all - that's what therapy is all about), but... there's also people who yearn to feed their own demons - with other people's trauma/pain (so called misery loves company and such).
Any more questions? Bluntly put if you please - cause i'm not into guessing (or reading between lines).

That is fucked up. How can you speak so calmly of this??
I wouldn’t say that I’m calm? I was hesitant to share it here. Its the first time I’ve ever told strangers on the internet. It happened 20 years ago and I’ve been to therapy. I wouldn’t have shared it if I thought I might be affected by negative responses.
But, why would I share it? So other women can read it and feel less isolated. I wanted to break the ice and share the ugly details so other women would feel comfortable. If someone is ready, talking about their trauma can be very powerful and help in healing.click to expand

2 nonconsensual
divided by
9 men total (including nonconsensual)
= 22% nonconsensual
The point to all the math was just to see these experience from a different perspective. So, when I tell myself 20% of all the men that have been with, happened without my consent. My personal experience may have taught my subconscious 20% of the men will do this, and this is how I see and interact with the world.
The point of the thread, was me reading a guy on here being so flippant about the topic. (I get there are men who are not, whom I sure reside somewhere in that other 80% ) I don’t care about that dude and what he thinks personally, this is not an attack on him. Its just funny to me how we have completely different ideas about this.
I feel like a I have a good understanding of how often this happens to women, I just wanted to see some numbers. This is just me trying to explore some ideas.
Merry Christmas

Topics like these almost always seems to paint men in a negative light, regardless of whether it's warranted or not.
Topics like this require sensitivity towards the victims and those potentially at risk. Certain things, men have to learn how to manage their reaction because the world doesn't revolve around some of their poor egos.
And I'm not talking about all men. If you're a good man, then keep scrolling and keep being the kind of man you want to be around your mother/sister/niece/daughter.
Yeah, topics like this require sensitivity towards the victims, including where the victim being male and perpetrator being female. As @DMV puts it, "men can be the victims of sexual assumption". This kind of thing doesn't really encourage an open conversation between men and women on this topic.
Why as a woman do you feel like you need to speak for and sympathize with men? You did it in the other topic where the OP was paranoid of false rape allegations and now you’re in The Powder Room, which is for women, in a topic about sexual assault, sympathizing with the male experience. I’m not saying men are undeserving of sympathy but this isn’t the place. I just find it odd. It’s almost passive aggressive. You refuse to let women have a space without mentioning the male experience.click to expand

There’s a reason why a lot of people have sex regret or sleep with someone they never would sober. That feeling of doom and anxiety was always a sign of something wrong.
It’s because they were DRUNK/HIGH/COMATOSE/IN A BLACKOUT
THERE WAS NEVER ANY CONSENT.
the op was very clear, she was not talking about drunk situations, but when your partner force you into sex, cause, you are their partner, and somehow it's their right. and you maybe eventually let it cause you think, hey, maybe it is their right. it's not. it took a while for the law to incorporate these things, yes your wife, husband can rape you. and it's more common than we all think.click to expand

You've talked before on here about how an ex gf/lover accused you on facebook of rape. But you continued to be fb friends with her.
A bit masochistic of you to keep the person accusing you of such a crime in your life. I hope you blocked her finally.click to expand

None of that is accurate. Firstly it was in 2008 we her and I were in high school, not on FB. Secondly it was only rumors amongst our firend circle after she was caught messing around with other guys by a few other people outside our friend circle. Thirdly she accused me of physically assaulting her, and pressuring her into sex a few times. Which pressuring isn't exactly the same thing as holding someone down and physically forcing them. Mental abuse is still abuse though. It was all lies to save her reputation with our friend circle. Which no one believed her, and she lost her reputation and friends over it. Years later she came up to me in person and apologized for all the drama back in school. I'll admit, I can't help Capricorn women are hot af, especially when they are being emotional and deep. We ended up dating for a few months, decided it felt weird and that we were two completely different people, and decided we were better off friends. Which was like 11 years ago when the friend thing happened. Now it's like who cares. She has a husband and a few kids, and I her posts on occasion and think to myself "I'm happy for you." I don't understand why that bothers you so badly.click to expand

My ex boyfriend went down on me when I was passed out drunk when we first met... he thought he'd wake me up by doing it he claims. I didn't find out about it till he confessed like a year or so later about it. After we broke up I look back at that and think damn dude violated me. Kind of messed with my head for a while because there were times during our relationship where he kind of forced me into sex when I wasn't feeling it.
In college I went to a club with a friend and was almost gang raped. I was really drunk and went outside where there was this huge crowd of men. They surrounded me and some of them started grabbing at my tits and ass. My friend dragged me out of there. I had blocked it out for years until I talked about it to my Libra ex who really made me realize what had happened.
There have been other incidents like that too. I try not to think about them to much.
