As I explained to you before, sexual assault isn't about sex, it's about power and control.

Andries is obtuse, as usual, and particularly funny the way he relies on academics ad nauseum to tell him if the sun's out.  It's almost as if he's lampooning himself.  Sad for him to think he isn't. 

But I disagree with your statement above especially since the "sexual assault" itself is only an "assault", if at all, in the legal sense of vitiated consent.  The idea that sex in a gross power imbalance isn't about sex is, in my opinion, as wrong as saying that fraud or embezzlement isn't about money.  I could agree with you if you were saying that it's not just about sex but then that just raises the question what is sex about anyway?  It's all complex stuff but I don't think it's helpful to reduce it to black and white slogans like this.
