Further, these are not words that should have their negative meaning stripped from them, by us or anyone else (including the antis), because such forms of sexual violence and coercion are real atrocities that occur to real people. We should never make the same mistake that the antis do, which is to use these terms in ways that attempt to detract from this reality. Words for the various forms of sexual violence need to be part of our legal and cultural vocabulary, because they describe real phenomena that need to be identified and stopped when they do actually happen.

[...]

But NOT so with words like "rape" or "sexual abuse." They describe real atrocious acts that have no convenient ambiguity to work with, and it was very cruel and wrong-headed on the part of antis in the realm of law and the media to misapply these terms to acts that are not coercive and do not involve actual violence, blackmail, etc.


Now you give us better arguments!

If this is what it takes to wake the best Dissident up, I'm not one bit regretful.
