/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

Because forced to penetrate is also rape. You want to get into severity? How about how it affects a man's life when he's the victim of that and has absolutely nowhere to go for help because the prevailing social attitude is to blandly dismiss the crime committed against him as 'not a big deal'?
The mental damage that comes after the actual crime is, for men, something they have no help escaping.

It's not comparable with having your body penetrated against your will, which you can ask any man or woman about who has been penetrated against their will. It's certainly a felonious sex assault, not sure why that's not sufficient for these rare cases. I find the MRA interest in being raped and victimized by women to be really bizarre and credibility destroying.
