Re: WTF planet does Person B live in?

Again, if really a teacher wanted sex and really was willing to coerce the student to get it, all the student has to do, these days, is speak.

What if it remains private? Yes, that would be the problem, but why would it remain private? There is not just no incentive for it to remain private but all the incentives to speak in cases of coercion.

If a girl really doesn't speak after being coerced or to avoid being coerced, then she really is the sucker. Sorry to be so blunt. But at some point, you just have to defend yourself and not wait and expect for a Deus ex machina to save you. Not speaking, in the circumstances we have today, is exactly that.

The military is a different thing. First, there is the culture of obedience which is instilled into everyone. It stops the victims from resisting first or from complaining later and any witnesses from supporting them. Second, there is evidence that at least some victims have been killed, all internally, by others around them (and the deaths, of course, ignored and recast as not-murders.) So there could be serious life threats involved. Even the knowledge of these cases may cow a victim into silence without any threat being explicitly pronounced.
