THREAD on #SexualViolence:

women are often expected to resist in order to prove that they really were โrealโ victims of sexual assault. This is one of the enduring #RapeMyths, that a โtrueโ victim of sexual assault will fight back or scream and yell, and if she didnโt she must have consented to sex.
This mistaken idea simply fails to understand typical responses to sexual threat, coercion, intrusion and/or fear. Too often, sexual assault victims are asked, โWhy didnโt you just fight back, or scream, or struggle, or run away?โ
