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.
We’re seeing the natural progression of Liberals’ need to control and regulate everything.
That their ideas are now coming into direct conflict with each other is lost on all but the elite few who know that the regulation and control is simply a path to power.
Cue the Atlas Shrugged quote about making everything illegal.
I figured them out years ago, they can’t cut you off if they don’t know where you’re getting it!
On whose side? Both the female and the male?
This is getting stupid from any angle you look at it...holding sex is sexual violence?..for who?.. if your a man ,a women..
In a marriage, withholding sex for revenge or to dominate is abuse.
I'm sure they'll realize they made a mistake the first time a male employs this against a female. It's kind of like a guy's response to "sexual harassment" accusations.
Screwed if you do, screwed if you don’t.
It would take a modern liberal not to laugh his fool head off at this farce.
Or unscrewed, or something.
Could this have been a joke?
Now if folks are dwelling coed but DON’T have any sex, this is a scandal?
So tempted to send this to the Ex.
Pedal to the medal.
I wish you wouldn’t post my picture when I bang my head into the pole. It hurts enough then you make it hurt more by laughing at me!
Any time a male interacts with a female, even in a non sexual context, will be considered as sexual violence.
After that, the mere existence of a male will be considered sexual violence.
I am living in a looney toon.
Those all used to fall under the term “sex as a weapon”, so I suppose.
The colleges need to get 100% OUT of any sanctions at all regarding sex, beyond one simple “rule” - what is illegal with regard to sexual activity under civil and criminal law locally is behavior - upon notification of an accusation it has occurred - that will be turned over to the law authorities locally & for them to deal with; and only if any such matter results in a conviction under such laws, the college will take appropriate academic sanctions against the convicted person. Beyond that the rest is politics, kangaroo courts, interference in Liberty, and treating academia as a “sovereign” land under no nation’s laws, but its own.
Man, I’ll tell ya, this topic could get a guy in trouble so fast.
One woman freely admits her husband has to beg for it and laughs.
The jokes literally jump out at you from all directions.
How many fraternity brothers does it take to screw in a..., well never-mind.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. None of this is any business of a university.
If you are paying money for this, you’re throwing good money after bad.
bump.....
LOL! i was once ask why i bang my head against a pole, i told them because it feels so good when i stop...
