What is sexual assault? Generally, sexual assault falls into one of three categories.Jennifer Gentile Long, the chief executive officer of AEquitas: The Prosecutors' Resource on Violence Against Women, a global project she co-founded in April 2009, tells SELF those include:
According to Austin, sexual harassment can include sexual assault (such as rape and/or grabbing), but it’s also broader. Sexual harassment “includes creating a hostile environment, pervasive jokes/comments, looks, and body language that makes an individual feel harassed,” she says. But, again, the exact definition can vary by state. As for “locker room talk,” experts say it's not usually a crime, but it can feed into a culture of sexual harassment. “From a prosecution perspective, we are always thinking about how sexuality and sexual violence portrayed in media, music, film, video games, and culture, impacts the way jurors and criminal justice professionals evaluate evidence in a case and render just and fair decisions without bringing in misinformation and bias,” Long says. The more pervasive "locker room talk," the more likely people may be biased into thinking a crime like sexual harassment is normal and OK. O’Connor agrees, noting that it’s not a crime but still carries a lot of weight. “Any language or phrase that condones sexual violence is dangerous because it attempts to brush away allegations of criminal behavior,” she says. O’Connor says sexual assault and harass...eported” and “locker room talk” marginalizes victims. (O’Connor also notes that RAINN’s hotline has had a 33 percent increase in sessions since Trump’s 2005 comments surfaced.) However, in some situations, “locker room talk” could actually be seen as a form of sexual harassment, Austin says. She cites inappropriate jokes or pinup pictures in the workforce as potentially creating a hostile work environment, which could fall under the umbrella of sexual harassment. | |

Generally, sexual assault is defined as unwanted sexual contact. The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network defines sexual assault as "unwanted sexual contact that stops short of rape or attempted rape. This includes sexual touching and fondling."[3] The National Center for Victims of Crime states:[4]
In the United States, the definition of sexual assault varies widely between the individual states.

I'll sum it up for HER: Step 1) hit on a man 2) propose illicit actions 3) wink/smile at man 4) take clothing off, spread eagle 5) man runs. Ps. This only works if u look as attractive as her. Anything else would be "beneath female intelligence" Dear God. .....please not another generation of self servicingGloria Allreds [Edited 11/11/17 1:26am] ♫"Trollin, Trolling!
