i think it’s good that it was addressed it’s not a woman’s issue and the real problem is the men. men have alot  of power in certain situations so having be informed in what a sexual assault looks like and the consequences of them can help stop or slow down the rate of sexual abuse. it could help prevent men and women from being sexually violent and also stop potential perpetrators. education is a powerful tool and everyone deserves to be thoroughly educated on this subject

# data[].attributes.body
It does a good job at arguing both sides. Men and women are ill-educated on the subject so its good to be reinformed.

🤬 SHOULD NEVER BE OKAY POINT,BLANK,PERIOD. WHEN YOU 🤬 SOMEONE DESPITE ALL THE GOOD ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOLADES YOU HAVE RECEIVED 🤬 CAN NOT ONLY EFFECT YOU MENTALLY BUT FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE AS A PERSON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MEN CAN BE SO BLINDSIDED. MEN ARE NOT BEING TAUGHT 🤬 AND THAT'S A PROBLEM!!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that it’s an issue for both sides, but like the lady said you can’t get mad cause honestly some people don’t know they are confused even though they should know what right from wrong is they still need to learn

# data[].attributes.body
Although it is true that the majority of rapists are men, we cannot ignore the fact that men are also victims to sexual assault. 🤬 is not only a "man's issue" like many people are saying. Women also need to focus on suppressing sexual assault.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the article because more people really need to be educated more on such an important subject. Parents and teachers are limiting those "talks" with students to "Just don't get her pregnant" or "Wear a 🤬, be safe, get tested," they never speak of consent or how they should go about getting consent or the whole situation in general. There are guys out there having sex with someone without their consent and thinking it's okay when it's not but they dont know that because they haven't been taught properly. They are making themselves harassers without even knowing it, to them they were doing the right thing because they don't know any better. They are innocent people. However, that can change in public eyes just because parents/teachers never taught them what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having a conversation about sexuality should be something that parents should talk about at an early age. Sex is something very human and biological and I think our society shies away too much about talking about that with their youth. Ultimately, we end up learning it from media and not from the people who are supposed to educate us and I think that because there are so many people that use outside sources that may carry the wrong message, they are led to believe that that is the norm because no one else is telling them how to act in an unrehearsed scenario.

the ted talked should be shown to every class because it is something that people tend to ignore because they dont think it applies but it applies to anyone that could be put in a situation that might have someone drunk or not think its ok to touch someone or 🤬 them.

# data[].attributes.body
It for sure is both sides issue. Both men and women r capable of sexual assault. Maybe instead of making it a “men’s issue” it should be the “perpetrator’s issue”

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the Ted talk because it's not just girls who have to deal with these issues; it's also men.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the Ted talk because as a victim I’ve personally experienced victim blaming. Also if you look at the age range of people who get sexually assaulted there’s children in there, children aren’t “asking for it” and neither are adults.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the Ted talk guy but I feel like both sides should continue to gain more knowledge on the topic if concent and sexual assault

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with everything that Ted talked about because peple might say something and give their own thoughts and/or titles about that word when there could be multiple meaning to that word or situation. When someone does not give their consent then that's the end of it and there is nothing else that needs to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what the speaker in the Ted talk said. He talked about how 🤬 is often considered a womens issue and I never really connected that with this being said men ignore it but this is very true. It’s a problem our society must talk about to mature as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s both sides issue

# data[].attributes.body
People should be more educated on the subject

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the ted talk video and i think men do act that way towards 🤬.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly don't understand how dumb a Man can be. You hear the women say " STOP STOP STOP I DON'T WANT THIS , I DON'T LIKE THIS" SO why do you keep doing it anyway! Raping starts with the dude and its not just women. Both male and female need to watch themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Men are more important

# data[].attributes.body
It is both a women’s and men’s issue so we should talk about both sides and not just men.

# data[].attributes.body
It's frustrating to see how some men can just take advantage of a woman based on their pleasure. Even then, those men who aren't educated on this subject should know that if it isn't their then they shouldn't mess with it. Communication matters a lot; consent is a must. Not only that, the only reason some adults target children is because they know they are defenseless. Kids need to stay protected too as well as women from suspects like these. We need to educate the young people now and help protect the victims sooner including both male and females. The TED Talk brought great points to this subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what he said it’s not women issues it’s more of men’s issues and he proved a lot of good points In the videos

# data[].attributes.body
It's true that men need to stand up and realize that sexual assault is a major problem. There have been too many instances where a guy can go on and on about girls and have friends who would laugh and talk more about. Jokes are how they start and then end up causing more to the issue.

# data[].attributes.headline
I feel like many men today in our world don't really understand what 🤬 is and how a serious issue it is. I think we need to do a better job in educating or men such as we did today and explain the effects of 🤬 and give examples on how to stand up and defend a woman who may be facing it

I agree that there is men culture and that men can be peered pressured into thinking a certain type of way but I also think that the women culture is harsh on women too. Like how women call each other names for what they wear.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like what Jackson Katz was saying makes a lot of sense and I feel as though men should have a larger involvement in what is normally seen as women's problems. What I think the main thing that can be taken away from both the article and the video is that we as a society need to work on educating young boys about acts of sexual violence and abuse in order to truly start making progress on the problem at hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Sexual assault and 🤬 are real issues we face in today's society but not at the rate that people claim it happens. While we put all the blame on men and this so called "🤬 culture" and respond to it with sexism against men as people even have on here, we don't look at these women lying about being raped and assaulted. Lies and false allegations have and will continue to ruins peoples lives because when it comes to male on female sexual assault its guilty until proven innocent and it shouldn't be. If a women is sexually assaulted it is her place to speak up and identify (if they can) the man or person that committed the act so that she may receive justice.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the TED talk video. It explains the issue with what 🤬 truly is. It is mentioned that men aren't educated on what a predator looks like. He mentions that people are stuck on the idea of rapists hiding behind a bush with a gun in their pockets. Many young men aren't aware that women view predators differently. Whether you touch a woman on the shoulder or even seduce her it is known to cause panic to a woman. I also agree with the idea of men sticking up to what is right. Not only woman are victims but also young men. Young men with a mother in that situation would want justice. If a man were to stand up change can happen. Though it may not make a change at a rapid pace it is still important to stand up for  what is right.

I found this article and video very intriguing to learn about. I am very surprised that some boys had questions about sexual assault. I was also shocked in finding out that some men thought that if a person only has a weapon then it is considered "🤬." The Ted talk also had some interesting points about men

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with everything the man said in the video because everything he said was correct. If you here someone say anything you dont like you shoukd most

I liked the Ted Talk I agree with what he was saying

I feel like these types of conversations should be talked about more. It’s rare to see people people from the opposite race, gender, and sexuality to oppose a harsh comment of the other races, genders and sexualities. Especially men who don’t stand up for girls sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was interesting how the video talked about turning the questions from the victim to the perpetrator.

These topics are important to our ever growing society and the ideas and actions need to be strongly expressed to help restrict these violence from happening.

Why don't we talk about this more frequently in today's society? Because this is some good information that could make a big change.

I agree with this guys beliefs and how it is a problem among men in society and that men need to speak up against abuse. I also believe that men need to be more educated on this topic.

I think men's involvement in sexual assault should be talked about because it's shocking to know that the amount of men that committed the crime just simply don't understand the concept of consent. In Melinda's case, I think Andy was one of those guys which would explain why he was so upset when he confronted her. Even so, I don't think that validates what he did to her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should also look at the women’s point of view and times when women were the perpetrators and not just men

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was interesting to know that these people grow up this way without knowing things that seem simple

These topics makes me interested. i want to know more about this and I want to share this to my friends.

The time article has a direct link to the definition of sexual assault, as described by federal law.

I feel that the speech was good but he kind of repeated himself and didn't talk or barely talked about how women also sexually abuse people. Buy everything he said was absolutely factual.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Ted talk touched  very important points specially that sexual violence is a gender issue and we should all work to make it better

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on the Ted talk video are I guess neutral. I really enjoyed what he said. It wasn't just about girls, it was about guys. And how they can not just help but they can learn from a young age to not do that. I really liked that part.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video I found it weird that he said that “staying quiet in a conversation is basically you giving consent.” That isn’t what consent is...just because you don’t speak up doesn’t mean you are agreeing with someone or giving consent to agree with what they are saying.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s just shocking that if someone sees something happening they need to speak up or take an action

# data[].attributes.body
The video was eye opening, and I feel like the speaker made some interesting and mind changing points. I feel that this topic needs to be discussed more so that the majority can have a better grasp of all possible view points and perspectives of this topic.

# data[].attributes.body
These topics should be talked about more because people need to know about it.

Im glad Mr.Jack is speaking on this topic because it helps teens our age see the do's and dont's when it comes to sexual matter.
