Rape can also happen between consenting people as well. In fact, quite a lot of what is and should be considered sexual assault/rape, is a partner “going too far” or doing something their consenting partner didn’t consent to.
Say one partner (A) did something to partner (B) which B did not consent to initially. B says this to partner A afterwards to which she replies "Sorry, but I was really close." But she sort of promised to not do it again. What would you make of that?
I knew this post wouldn't be a very "positive" one. But man that's messed up. I think I understand now.
So you mean like a woman beats (or like really harasses) a man and in order to keep her at ease he relents? (English is not my first language)
Thank you for your advice! The dance party was a ton of fun and I danced with lots of different people!
Just remember that standing around and not talking to anyone is as much a choice as going up to someone and asking for a dance.
This one in particular really stuck with me. And I was surprised how much truth there was to this line ^^
Are there some practical things you can do at that point? Or is that the cue you should just leave?
Some context: It's a Latin dance party. Meaning you dance with a partner. I do not have a very much experience with it (about 16 lessons, with half of them being repeats). I go there with some people I know, but am not all too well acquainted with.
"Being confident" is dangerously close to straight up bothering people. Plus it only really works if you're good looking.
