On a campus where masturbation and gang rape are outlawed in the...

A brain scan study has revealed interesting data on how genital and nipple stimulation affect the sensory cortex in the female brain.
The precise locations that correspond to the vagina, cervix and female nipples on the brain’s sensory cortex have been mapped for the first time, proving that vaginal stimulation activates different brain regions to stimulation of the clitoris. The study...

"I was raped." →
One of the most moving stories that embodies the personal conflict of many survivors between placing blame on themselves and coming to terms with the idea of defining their assault as rape. Heartfelt, honest, and with a hard critique of victim-blaming and rape culture.
