I wonder if they're using different definitions of "sexual assault". My campus has a very loose definition of sexual assault (for instance, catcalling is included under that heading). I don't know precisely how the military defines sexual assault, but it seems like there is a lot of variance across the board.

This post definitely got me thinking about therapeutic use, like for people with phobias or something.

Is it possible that this could be taught to detect for phobia-specific stimuli?

The question I would ask you and your friend is how you feel about giving hateful ideologies like racism a podium to speak from.

The trouble with engaging with this kind of ideology is that you give them a platform to spread their thoughts from. I certainly understand that you won't change anyone's mind just by telling them they're ignorant and wrong, but there also has to be a balance against giving their hate credibility and elevating it to the level of discourse (kind of like how I think it was foolish of Bill Nye to waste his time debating evolution with Ken Ham).

What are your thoughts?

Nudity isn't inherently sexual and OP set an age limit for erotica.
