That may sound flippant, but its genuinely my empathetic interpretation. Everyone might not agree, but I believe that many people, and in fact the majority of people, would.

I dont know how anyone can accuse me of sexism. I am an ardent feminist and supporter of women's rights.

I have never said that men cannot be the victim or rape or sexual assault. I understand that homosexual sexual assaults can take place, and I certainly understand that many men may feel a stigma in reporting these crimes - which society must address, and make clear that being a victim is not a thing to be ashamed of.

I am only stating that there are hardly any real cases of a female sexually assaulting an adult male - not that men cannot be victims of sexual assault at all.

I think people throw around moral judgments in a very black and white way. Is it really what we want for these young girls to have their lives ruined because of these juvenile and childish actions? If you want to take a legalistic view - yes, some of the actions could be seen as assault. But I call upon everyone to place themselves in this situation and think honestly. As an old man, gravely ill, with declining powers - would you REALLY feel you were a victim if an attractive 19 year old vigoursly rubbed your crotch or stuck her ass in your face?

You can say "the law written down forbids this action which can be interprated in this way" - but if we speak of real common sense justice - can you put your hand on your heart and say in the situation of one of these men you would consider yourself a victim?
I would feel like a victim if I were a married old man who had stayed faithful to my wife for 70 years and some tramp decided to grab my dick and stick her finger in my ass without me being able to say or do anything about it. From a purely physical level, I'm sure my nerves would receive signals of pleasure, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't feel ashamed and violated. I would say I was a victim of someone else's desire to use my body in the way they wanted to, regardless of how I felt about it.

The whole problem with that way of thinking is that it ignores the most important aspect of our entire way of life: agency. Your conclusion and that of FF completely ignores the fact that we fundamentally think as a society (at least in nearly all cases) that people have the unalienable right to decide what happens to them and to their body. The fact that they enjoyed it AFTER makes no difference if they did not consent to it BEFORE.

Furthermore, the girls have admitted to doing this to antagonize the patients. They weren't lovers or even stripper or hookers.

And finally, all of your nonsense about the lack of female on male sexual harassment has been torn to tiny, weeping pieces by SM's sources in post 47. Read them and stop embarrassing yourself.
