BET: 60% of Black Girls are Sexually Abused By 18

[BrokePhiBroke]

So thankful me and my sisters were raised in a upper middle class environment

People don't get abused in "upper middle class environments?

 

[Raid]

More rape apologies and dismissals.

What is wrong with some of you men? Why is this so hard for y'all?



How is teaching boys about consent, and "bad touch", teaching them to fear WANTED sexual contact?

How is teaching boys about self respect and respecting girls teaching them to fear sexual contact?


Men really fear loss of control. That's all it is. It's control issues.

It's easier for y'all to tell women not to be single mothers, and to tell girls to dress different than it is for y'all to tell little boys & teen boys, and men to control themselves, huh?

At the time you said nothing about consent. You (and some others in this thread) making it seem like men shouldn't be attracted or even want to have sex with women. Which is why most men is scared to go after what they want. But if we solely talking about raising boys not to touch women who DONT want to be touched or about needing consent before sex then I 1000% agree with you.

"Use Protection! fukk who you want!"


Yeah... that's the way to stop little black girls from being sexually assaulted.

I was responding to her post about how women should keep their legs closed unless the man prove he love her

Keep reaching til you get that apple tho

I feel like the numbers could be even higher, so much goes unreported. I know women who even told their mothers, who did not believe them

So much healing needs to be done its a vicious cycle

if they asked them "have u had sexual contact with a man 18 or older while u were a minor" this shyt is skewed thats what i think they asked
consensual sex with a man over 18 when u a minor then yeah that shyt happens all the time and the girls be with it
yall just be tryna chalk it up like the girls are niave blah blah blah they know what they doing girls be 16 on tinder but they age be 19 shyt is wild out here
i was fukking girls that was 20 when i was 14 nikkas shyt like that goes unreported

This. Whenever you see stories like this, the folks pushing the stories ain't really trying talk realistic effective solutions. So becomes obvious that the story is pretty much just propaganda.

This is dumb as hell. So if one doesn't have a solution, one shouldn't acknowledge a problem? Where do you idiots come from?

 

[Suleiman Bey]

300 women surveyed out of 18 million

Not trying to downplay the issue itself but

every survey/poll is a small sample, but I bet you don't complain if/when it's something you agree with.

 

[Serious]

It believe it. Likely more.
There's a lot of incestuous rape stories I've heard about in my family. Friends.

It's that prevalent though?

Why can't you just tell people to use protection and fukk who they want.......stop demonizing sex and over complicating things

If it was easy to separate the sex from the rest then I would. But it's not just about a good feeling. It's about people using sex to fill deep gnashing emotional gashes in their lives and not being true to themselves.

That whole let's just fukk for fun don't work when u got somebody who wants to be loved and is looking at u like a savior b/c she associates physical passion with true connection. The lies dudes tell to smash don't help. We gotta stop being gullible about sex. People fukk these days for a lot more than just a nut. OOW babies aren't accidents. People know protection is available. There's more going on here.

It's that prevalent though?

I honestly think so....

 

[Clive42]

No. It's not fine if he feels harassed.

It's not necessary/okay even if he doesn't.

Oh ok. I get what you meant then. Its about how the receiver takes the situation.

But at the end of the day, men and women complimenting/calling to strangers on the street in this sort of way are just tryna get that person's attention cos they like what they see.

Some do it in more inappropriate ways than others, but I wouldnt see it as a 'verbal' attack on me, because most dont mean to offend.

I understand that women are more likely to be offended by this than men, but seeing some women label favourable (and in some cases, 'light') comments towards them as sexual harrasment/abuse would exaggerate how unsafe women are, like how these survey results come off as. Again, men calling at women on the street is light compared to the more serious things women experience from men, so im not tryna ignore their significance in this survey.

 

[ahdsend]

i dont think this kinda shyt was that prevalent with us till the baby boomers came along....

cuz we already know they single-handedly destroyed the family unit, spiked the homicide rate and drug abuse, created damn near every STD that we got today....

unless i see numbers that show something different.... i gotta assume they blew up the child abuse culture too....

all this gender war BS is a deflection away from the real culprits... most of the "elders"...

if we gonna change any of this moving forward then we gotta break free from the c00n spirit that alotta them passed down to us....

 

[KingJay]

Garbage study, OP just won't give up

 

[Matt504]

That estimate is probably very conservative. Black women are getting sexually abused left and right in spaces where they're supposed to be safe.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Sixty percent of Black women in an ongoing study reported they had been sexually assaulted by a Black man before they turned 18, according researchers at Black Women’s Blueprint.



Nationally, more than 300 women were surveyed in the study, and the organization hopes to survey a total of 700 women by March 2012. The group will announce its full findings at that time.

“A similar study that was conducted by Black Women’s Health Imperative seven years ago found that that number was about 40 percent,” Tanis told NewsOne. “So that means there is an increase and we need to stop neglecting that issue.”



According to the White House, young women between the ages of 16 to 24 suffer from the highest rates of dating violence and sexual assault. On Nov. 30, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-Vermont) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was first passed in 1994 by then-Senator Joseph Biden. The legislation helps states and local communities provide services for victims, develop specialized law enforcement units and works to strengthen prosecution of these crimes. The annual incidence of domestic violence has dropped by more than 50 percent since VAWA was first passed, the White House reports.

Does that include you?

Not that small though. Like 300 out of 18,000,000? You may aswell judge an entire country based on one street
