The University of Michigan has released a list of relationship behaviors that it considers violent and abusive — including “withholding sex.”
“Discounting the partner’s feelings regarding sex,” “criticizing the partner sexually,” and “having sex with other people” are also examples of “sexual violence,” according to the list.
The school also offers definitions of domestic abuse. Under the section for “verbal or psychological abuse,” it states that not only is “insulting the partner” considered “abuse,” so is “ignoring the partner’s feelings.”
Janet Bloomfield, social media director for A Voice for Men, explained the dangers of such broad definitions of “violence” in an e-mail to the College Fix.
“When things like ‘withholding sex’ and ‘ignoring a partner’s feelings’ are framed as a pattern of behavior that is abusive, they are not only pathologizing normal relationship behaviors, but they are opening the door for vindictive or spurned partners to make allegations that can have profound effects for the accused,” she said.
Having sex is rape and now not having sex is rape. It’s like Global Warming.
The world is fast going mad…………...
Isn't that obvious to anyone with 2+ brain cells ??
It has become an Alice in Wonderland world. As upsidedown as conservatives who insist that voting for Democrats is the way to conservative victory.
Damned if you screw; damned if you don’t.
Okay, then my wife is abusing me? Got it.

Worse, actually, most of these issues that they bring are far more dumb to compare to rape than arguing for AGW
Geez- I've been a victim for 25 years! Where can we get a class action suit going against women in general?
Cheating on your spouse is wrong, but it’s not rape unless it was violently forced.
I’m sure this is only supposed to be valid from a female or homosexual perspective, given the source.
You beat me to it. Finally I’m a victim!
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

So……. first make traditional marriage irrelevant and mock those who believe in the sanctity of it, then come up with some stupid ‘rules of engagement’ as a third party for a bunch of young people involved in indiscriminate sex. Sure, this will make sense….. about as sensible as trying to teach etiquette to a bunch of hogs feeding at a trough.
I need to keep this news from my husband....the begging was bad before...
We were taught at Michigan State that sex, while rare, with a UM women was uninspiring, at best; boring, normal. I know that Michigan college boys raided the local high schools for dates. Some of the young women we water-skiied with “up north” told me this while I was still in High School.
Isn’t the University of Michigan where they used to have the ‘Naked Mile’?
yes, but it’s hard to have sex when you’re jogging.
I’ll be here through the weekend.
