Read this post carefully before engaging this topic or its poll.
Your honest answers are appreciated. The poll is anonymous for the benefit of rape survivors who wish to remain unknown.
Anyone wishing to disclose information for context is free to do so. Do remember, however, that this is Sciforums, a place where "decency" is often considered a profane word.
The poll allows multiple answers. Four of the answers pertain specifically to your sex and that of the assailant. There is a selection for other; if you need that explained, you will probably be advised to think about it for a few minutes and see what you can come up with. An option accounts for multiple assaults, and those who wish to note their good fortune in never having endured sexual abuse or assault may do so.
Your good faith is required in order to participate in this topic. Members wishing to skew the poll or denigrate the topic with false answers and incidents should avoid doing so and just stay the hell out of the way.
This thread is not the place to argue the point and accuse one another of lying. Members suspecting false stories should direct their concerns to me via private message. Members who do not believe a given incident qualifies as rape or sexual abuse are expected to keep it to themselves.
This topic and poll are intended to gather and present information. Members are expected to behave with dignity if they intend to participate.
Any questions should be directed to me via private message.
Violations of these ground rules will be regarded severely.
