Introduction to the case
There are so many sexual assault cases that occur with the people that the victim is close to—a romantic partner, a friend, or a date often has the level of closeness that enables them to commit sexual assaults. These sexual assaulters are able to assault their victims by pushing their boundaries, coercing them, or not even getting consent from them. Sexual assaulters do not look like villains, which can trigger warning signs in the brain of their potential victim. They look like everyday normal people. So, if you are in a relationship or dating someone, here are some signs that they may be potential rapists.
1. They Dismiss Consent Conversations
When the person you are dating or in a relationship with dismisses or gets angry when conversations about consent are brought up, it is the first sign that you are with a potential rapist. Consent shows that a person has their autonomy, which is sacred; when a partner dismisses this, it is alarming. Some of them even guilttri their partner when they are told “no” or that they will ruin the moment when they ask for consent, which is not true. Boundaries matter and should be respected.
2. They Move Too Fast
If a partner wants to move too quickly into physical intimacy when they meet you and does not want to slow things down when you bring it up, it is a red flag. Some of them bombard their potential victim with gifts, affection, and time so that their partner will be obligated to say “yes” even when their body says “no.
3. They Don’t Respect “No”
The third red flag that shows you can be dealing with aential racist—respect no decisions—is that they do not respect no even in the smallest things. Your references, decisions, or plans mean nothing to them. They guilt you into changing your mind to do what they want you to do. They do this subtly to see how far they can go. When they fail to respect you in the smallest things, in sexual intimacy, it will not be any different.
4. They Are Entitled
Listen to what your romantic partner says about people who turned them down, rejected them, or failed relationships. If they are constantly blaming other people or are angry because they were rejected; it is a red flag. Entitlement is what leads to sexual assault or violence because they believe that they are owed someone’s body even when the person is not consenting to it.
5. They Joke About Rape
Any person who jokes about Rae is a potential racist. They do not see it as a serious crime; hence, they try to minimize it by joking about it. A person who jokes about these things shows that they are okay with it and it is not serious.
6. They “Accidentally” Cross Physical Boundaries
Be wary of people who ‘accidentally’ cross physical boundaries. They claim that they did not mean to make you uncomfortable, touch you inappropriately, or grab you. They downplay what you feel, claiming it was a joke, and they keep pushing your boundaries and brushing it off.
7. They Isolate You
Any partner who tries to isolate you from your friends, support group, or family or make you feel you have to choose between them and the other people in your life is a red flag. They are doing this so that when they abuse or assault you, you will be silent because you will have no one to speak to about it.
Conclusion
Even when you have not seen any or all of these signs but you are uncomfortable with your partner, you should trust your gut. Reach out to people you trust and walk out of the relationship. If you have already been sexually assaulted, you should seek help. Do not try to rationalize their behavior in any anyway. Put your safety first.
