A new report by the American Association of University Women says that nearly half of students in grades 7-12 were sexually harassed last year alone.
The AAUW is a woman's lobby. When such an organization tosses out a stat like that, it might cause alarm in some circles. Among most people, however, our guess is that it generates at least mild eye rolling. Kids experience teasing and bullying all the time, and to suggest that every such incident should become a stat in the gender wars does a grave disservice to the cases where intervention is really needed.

I believe the AAUA was the organization that fought government funding for abused men's shelters though I could be wrong.
How is sexually harassed (or probably more realistically teased) teens defined by the AAUA? My guess is that girl on girl cruel sexual teasing is nowadays the most prevalent.
Much of today's student sexual harassment and teasing problems that do occur can be linked to the sexual and women's liberation movement which evolved into gender raunch feminism, single parent homes (usually headed by an adult female), and an overall breakdown in courtesy and values. Lots of boys are no longer concerned with chivalry or know it (why should they?), and girls often behave like spoiled gangsta sluts.

Did they cite sources? And how many kids have ever heard "fuck", "cunt" etc? My guess is all of them. However, saying 100% of all 12-19 year olds have been sexually harassed would be crazy, right? This is the same crowd that enacts anti-rape protocols that make a male guilty-if-accused.

Ugh (rolls eyes).
The only thing that puzzles me is - they said that only half of the incidents get reported...
I wonder why they didn't pull their usual BS and say only 1 in 10 report the incidents...
Oh yeah - if they did, that would make it 250% being harassed instead of 50%...
Hetero-normative pre-mating behaviors=harassment.
Hetero-normative sex=rape.
Welcome to 1984
The AAUW is an incidious organisation that has caused untold damage to boys. This report is inline with all the other assinine shit that has flowed from their presses.
Though what I found interseting here was it was not entirely an "Oh woe the girls, the sky is falling", they actually mentioned problems relating to boys. Perhaps at last they have realised they have a huge credibility gap and that boys have mothers, who last time I checked were female.
This may be the start of a rebranding on their part, which actually make them more dangerous as they could simply be going into stealth mode bigotry.
All men are rapists if you define "rape" broadly enough.
Just like all women are prostitutes if you define "sex for money/resources" expansively enough.
These studies are designed and manufactured to "Inflame the public" into dishing out hundreds of thousands of state and federal pork dollars to do nothing. Actually, come to think about it, sending in these women gender-reconstructionists will make the children sicker.
Throw a bunch of immature kids with raging hormones together in a poorly-supervised environment and you get - what? Sexual harassment? Who'd of thunk it?
Throw a bunch of immature kids with raging hormones into close proximity in a poorly-supervised environment and you get - what, a bunch of innuendo and teasing and harassment? Who'd of thunk it?
What do you think of this esp the part about how everything short of yes means no, Archivist?

Clarence, it is legally correct.
Nothing but a mere scare tactic by a woman's group in order to get more funding.
