Is that really how your brain works?

The 50 Shades of Gray thing is not the CNN gotcha you're making it out to be. That's been widely criticized as sexist and uninformed on BDSM as well.

It's a single event.. the amount of people assaulting you is less of a factor then the trauma from the event itself. You think a woman who gets raped by two guys instead of one is less traumatized?

Are you x times more traumatized when a corporation takes youre money than when a person steals your atm card?

Anyone can be in a position of power.. I don't like the way you frame this. Plenty of people without fame or "power" can alpha their way into making beta personalities feel threatened when they arent a threat.

As I said earlier personalities play a huge role in decision making which is why it's important to prove actual threat. It's not like the first example of the woman consenting couldnt turn around the next day and cry foul if she felt "dirty" about the whole event.

With the available information, I can't really see the CK thing as anything but grey area.
