CES 'Booth Babes': Women In Tech Oppose Using Models At Technology Trade Show

[justiceischeap]

36. Okay, here ya go. I've been sexually assaulted and I don't appreciate you or oldhippie

using it as a punchline on a discussion board. You got a problem with someone talking about 'booth babes' then how about having a discussion without making light of my having been sexually assaulted and how that might effect my point of view. I've also been mugged at gun point and I don't think it would be any more amusing to make light of that because you don't want to hear about it.

If you're tired of this kind of thread, then trash it but making sarcastic comments or joking about this shit isn't funny.

And I believe that statistic takes into account women from the time they are born up into adulthood. Notice that it says 1 in 3 (I found another statistic that is 1 in 4) will be sexually assaulted in her LIFETIME.

Sexual assault doesn't automatically mean rape. I was touched, repeatedly and inappropriately by a male relative (he has continued this behavior and has done time for it) as a child. That's sexual assault. I was touched inappropriately by a male stranger as a child, that's sexual assault. Would you like me to detail how I was sexually assaulted as a 6-year-old or a ten-year old or an eleven-year old? I'm not even counting the 30 year old I was dating as a 17 year old.
