Vera Institute has a podcast on understanding sexual coercion that’s brief (under 7 minutes), and worth a viewing. I’m particularly interested in the discussion of how we define sexual assault, particularly as it pertains to the legal framework so often used. I think it’s analogous to how we ascribe meaning to the medical-forensic exam, with the legal framework often being the primary framework (and measure of success) people use to define the encounter, and which I personally find both limiting and misleading.
