Sexual assault crisis': Unwanted contact reports hit all-time high at Coast Guard Academy

Interesting how everyone assumes that males are the only alleged perpetrators. Would love to see a breakdown of the alleged offenses, by gender of both the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim. The stories I hear about Shark Week paint a different story than what you all seem to be picturing in your heads.

Exactly the point I made as well. As the dad to 3 boys it is saddening that people automatically jump to the conclusion that the males are the aggressors.


I do not believe that everyone “assumes or jumps to the conclusion” that this is a male on female issue. While a breakdown of the numbers may be interesting, it loses sight of the issue at hand. Inappropriate contact or unwanted advancements towards another person is the big picture. The increase in the reporting rate may very well be a good thing. It may be a sign that those who have been a victim, regardless of their sex or who the perpetrator was, may be more likely to take the issue to the appropriate personnel and file a report without fear.
