Silence is not consent and that does work both ways. If a girl tried to force herself on a guy and he didn't agree to it, then technically that'd be rape. There's a rule here at my University, ask first. If a girl, or guy, is really silent, ask if it's okay.Don't just assume that it is.

Although, those three scenarios were not rape. The first could be considered rape if it included any form sexual intercourse but touching is assault not rape. I do have to say this though. As someone who was sexually assaulted by the same man for months, it's terrifying. Especially if the person is stronger or bigger than you. Saying no is grand, but some women and men feel that saying no will cause more harm to them than staying silent. (I include men in this because men do get raped, by other men and by women. One of my best friends was.)


She whispered to her own reflection "I will be strong."

Sometimes things just happen.
