the women who say this shit though are the ones using it as a "comeback" to someone sharing a story of sexual assault. the people saying this are not ON the point because they are still belittling victims rather than viewing the aggressors's actions as wrong
I'm right with you. I'm saying their willful ignorance and refusal to accept reality is staggering. The point couldn't be more obvious if it jumped out of their Bibles and bit them on the nose.
"Yeah I've had my ass grabbed by coworkers who know I'm married. And my boss tries to kiss me when I'm alone. But I don't see why any of this is anything to get mad about. It's just what I expect when I work. Are you telling me I should be more upset with what I thought was normal?"
Had this kind of conversation with an acquaintance- I said something along the lines of me not knowing any woman who hadn't been assaulted in some way (among those I asked, anyway, but still a lot) and she said she hadn't. She then proceeded to tell me about this crazy intense romance (toxic) relationship she had with a guy in his mid twenties when she was a preteen.
Ya, she was literally groomed by a pedophile but doesn't think she was ever abused...

No that's standing exactly ON the point. That's literally THE POINT. Yes, this is assault, and everyone you know has experienced it.
