Study: 43% of young men say they have been sexually coerced by women

94. nagging and threatening though

are coercion.

I got into a huge argument on a discussion list because I called it rape when a drug dealer got a heroin addict to have sex with him by withholding her drugs. (This was in the movie "Traffic&quot . I stand by that though - that is basically forced consent.

There are two questions though.

One is "where do you draw the line" or "where are the goalposts". Yes, it is coercion, but it is a fairly mild and fairly normal coercion. Coercion happens all the time in life, like being scolded to do the dishes or to take out the garbage.

Of course, when I was growing up, a certain amount of violence was normal too. Dad (or mom) tells you to mow the lawn, and you could get your butt beat if you don't do it. But those lines have been moved over the years.

The other question is - is there a double standard?

That is, if a guy used that type of coercion would it be considered acceptable? Or would he be villified?
