Welcome to College, Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Rape Your Classmates. No, Seriously, Don’t Do It. (And Don’t Let Your Friends Do It.)

More than one in five women will be sexually assaulted while in college. Most of them—around 80 percent—will know their attackers. One recent survey of 379 male undergraduates at a large public university found that more than half of survey respondents who played sports reported coercing a partner into sex. Among types of coercion cited was “I used threats to make my partner have oral or anal sex.” That same survey found that 38 percent of non-athletes said they used verbal or physical pressure for sex, and the researcher found a link between those coercive behaviors and attitudes like “If a woman doesn’t fight back, it isn’t rape.”

Do not do this.
