[QUOTE="WackyAnne, post: 7727999, member: 6774750"] You have critically failed on your intelligence check here, Yaarel. Please refer to your nearest dictionary or encyclopedia so you can learn the definition of sexual assault. Just as other crimes have degrees of severity (from petty theft to grand theft, for instance), so too does sexual assault (AKA indecent assault in the UK). Groping and other forms of unwanted and/or forced sexual contact fall under the umbrella of the crime of sexual assault, as does child sexual abuse, rape, and sexual torture, and so the terminology being used in the thread has been correct, ethical, and legal. This is not a new term, either. Both "sexual assault" and "sexual harassment" (generally less serious, as it doesn't involve contact) first entered the lexicon in 1971, the very same year that [I]Chainmail[/I] was released. Your comment does nothing to further the conversation, it just showcases your ignorance and further lends support to the segment of culture that participates in sexual harassment and assault. [I]"Sexual assault is a form of sexual violence, and it includes rape (such as forced vaginal, anal or oral penetration or drug facilitated sexual assault), groping, child sexual abuse, or the torture of the person in a sexual manner." [/I](Wikipedia) [I]The action or an act of forcing an unconsenting person to engage in sexual activity; a rape; (Law) a crime involving forced sexual contact, variously defined as inclusive or exclusive of rape.[/I] (Oxford English Dictionary) [I]illegal sexual contact that usually involves force upon a person without consent or is inflicted upon a person who is incapable of giving consent (as because of age or physical or mental incapacity) or who places the assailant (such as a doctor) in a position of trust or authority.[/I] (Merriam-Webster dictionary) [/QUOTE]
