Men are.”In fact, this sort of language, that assumes men are the only people who commit sexual assault, is disturbingly common among Title IX offices at schools. As I discuss in my book, Campus Sexual Assault, major universities use training materials that assume perpetrators are men and victims are women. Likewise, most men who experienced sexual coercion and unwanted sexual contact had female perpetrators.”A lot of people are resistant to the idea that women frequently assault men. But for now, the Meyer and Stemple data should encourage everybody to think twice about what “everybody knows” about sexual assault. And, as the recent court ruling shows, universities should be more careful about implying that “men are” the cause of sexual assault.
