Knox Thoughts - A place for open discussion

 The Theory and Performance Class has decided to research the issues of sexual assault and responsibility on the Knox Campus with the intention of filtering the anonymous research through a creative lens. Part of that process involves gathering perspectives and opinions from the students and faculty at Knox that have been generated about these issues. The goal is to get an idea of what the college is feeling and thinking about sexual assault and responsibility and to respond to that through a theatrical production.

To this end, we are inviting anyone on campus to respond to a few questions provided in this forum. We encourage you to add your own topics for discussion. To do this simply select click on the "Click Here for All Questions" link and then "Add new thread."

This forum is completely anonymous (you need not "log in"). Please respect the opinions and feelings of others in responding to comments.

People who think they have a right to sex-- from their spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, hot strangers, people who flirted with them, kissed them, did something sexual with them in the past-- have a problem. Sex isn't anyone's right-- it's a decision that everyone involved has to agree to (every time!).

Social/cultural stereotypes and trickle-down ideas that no one is bothering to battle head-on. Ideas that MEN are the rulers of the earth and they SHOULD and ARE ALLOWED TO get whatever they want. Ideas that WOMEN should PLEASE MEN, even if they don't want to, and that by pleasing them they will get far (job, relationships, friendships, whatever). Ideas that SEXUAL DOMINANCE over someone equals power over them and oneself. Ideas about body image and internal image; if we all believed we were loved and beautiful, could express ourselves and ask for whatever it is we need, would rape still be around?

Failure on the part of the community to recognize the rape or sexual assault. It's going to continue to be a problem if a) It is never called out strictly for what it is, and b) If people think/know that they can get away with it.
