If there is no actual physical injury, and no direct evidence, then sexual assault charges should not be pursued. Either bring evidence or STFU, since in the absence of actual physical injury there's no real harm, GTFO of here with that "mental anguish" shit, a non-injurious fucking is about as mentally damaging as being tickled by older siblings. If there are injuries, then by all means, pursue assault charges, but "sexual assault" charges should only result when the assault actually causes sexual damage. We've taken an unpleasant social interaction and turned it into a major felony for some reason. Yes, bodily autonomy is an important right, but we can't rob one person of bodily autonomy at the mere accusation of another robbing one of it. Without solid physical evidence, it just becomes a matter of deciding who wanted to do what with whom and when. It's not like there is an injury to point out (unless there was an actual physical assault), property taken or damaged, or life lost. Many "rape" allegations were based on next-day regrets, or mutual intoxication. So we have this strange phenomenon where the things that do the least actual damage to society and its members, such as "racism" or "sexual assault," are treated as if they are worse than beating someone up or robbing them or burning down their business. We have women who have "body counts" in the triple digits and above telling white men that they are scary and "rapey" for being white men. Women are changing their kids' sexes too. If women were truly scared of sexual assault, if it was truly as bad as our society treats that accusation, then women would not be clamoring constantly to break into places where men have traditionally been in the vast majority. if women were truly as worried about men sexually assaulting them, they would not constantly be trying to join them in the Armed Forces, in the traditionally masculine professions such as road work or Engineering, and would not be painting their faces to make themselves look like pre-pubescent Thai whores. Most women appear to have no fear whatsoever of being sexually assaulted by men, and indeed appear to encourage it (such as describing their rape fantasies and trying to indulge in similar roleplay). Yet for some reason we treat it as almost *WORSE THAN* murder itself.
