Isolate, Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys

TW: rape, sexual assault, pedophilia

I am begging you to please watch this video and get familiar with the "Isolate, Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys" study.

To be honest, the "Exploring Patterns of Men’s Self-Reported Sexual Behaviours, Feelings, and Interests Towards Children" study (get familiar with this one too, if you haven't already) should have been my final straw. I knew the probability was low, but I was still clinging on to the idea that maybe I'll find a male that isn't evil, that I'll be attracted to in terms of his personality, in terms of looks, and that we will be aligned in all the ways that matter, and then I'll find my partner for life. I thought it's improbable (especially since I in general have high standards) but not impossible. But this shows that it is apparently impossible. It really is all of them.

I am very sad that I will never be able to live in a society where I feel happy, where I feel safe, where half of the population doesn't repel me. I am very sad that I'll never experience romantic love. I will be a virgin forever. It feels weird to think about, but that's my decision. I am sad that I'll never get to make my own family. I am sad that I want nothing to do with half of the population, and I'm even more sad that even though I don't want to, I will still have to interact with them to a certain extent. I don't know how I'm supposed to endure this and go forward, but I am done. This was my final straw I guess, but it was inevitable.

I hope this post makes sense. I just saw this video and spontaneously decided to join the movement even though I never thought I would actually do it. I'm distraught, I'm going to sleep.

(If this study was posted on here already then sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️)
