@MumsnetBloggers @RapeCrisisEandW We already have a name for rape: rape. So why this demented statement?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem @MumsnetBloggers Exactly but lots of people use 'abuse', 'attack' etc instead & post is abt why using the word is important to us
— Rape Crisis E&W (@RapeCrisisEandW) June 12, 2015
@RapeCrisisEandW @MumsnetBloggers Are you saying more women should use the word rape even if they have not had forced sexual intercourse?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@RapeCrisisEandW @MumsnetBloggers It is really not clear the point you are trying to make here. What do you actually want to happen?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@RapeCrisisEandW @MumsnetBloggers Why doesn't Rape Crisis change its name to "Sexual Assault Crisis" then? http://t.co/vQ1H0hSDG9
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@MumsnetBloggers @RapeCrisisEandW The more sluts there are in ur society the more rape accusations/false rape accusations will proliferate.

Around 90% of rapes are committed by known men; https://t.co/8EYFKVT1Ln Why is that, I wonder. @PsychToday https://t.co/Ni7nUKWZYI

@MumsnetBloggers @RapeCrisisEandW "90% of rapes committed by known men" https://t.co/8EYFKVT1Ln Is this rape CONVICTIONS or rape COMPLAINTS?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@Jane54321 How would "naming rape" - whatever that means - "challenge" it?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
"we must name rape in order to challenge it" Is this nonsensical statement an example of feminazi-speak? http://t.co/TCchTQjVAZ
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem You sound pretty angry Claire, are you ok?
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC I'm fine. Are you likely to be able to answer my questions?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem Happy to try.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@ntfem It is important to us that survivors keep control of the process of naming what has happened to them
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Are you encouraging rape complainants to describe as rape what is not its legal definition?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem No, only to listen to them. We wouldn't tell someone unpacking their trauma that they were using the wrong word.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC What would allowing complainants to "keep control of the process of naming what has happened to them" mean in practice then?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem First it has to be defined by the survivor as outside acceptable or inevitable behaviour, second as abusive
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Rape and sexual assault are already crimes. I fail to see why u are reinventing the wheel and saying rape is socially unacceptable.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem And survivors are far more likely to minimise what has happened but they define their own experience.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Why do you say "survivors" as if you assumed that every single complaint must be true? Are you not aware of false rape accusations?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem We're concerned with those who don't get support or the justice they deserve.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC u cd stream complainants into 1) Raped 2) Sexually Assaulted 3) Intending 2 report sexual assault 4) Not intending 2 report assault
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Oh, and the fifth and final category should be 5) lying and/or malicious neurotic whose evidence would never stand up in court.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem No Claire, we wouldn't do that.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC What wouldn't you do?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem Stream people. They are treated respectfully as the individuals they are.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Streaming rape complainants would allow you to deal with them more efficiently and satisfactorily.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem Naming can be difficult , it involves making visible what was invisible, saying it is unacceptable.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC WHAT involves "making visible what was invisible"? Can you give an example?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Naming WHAT?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC WHAT involves "making visible what was invisible"? Can you give an example?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem Naming what happened as sexual violence or abuse
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC When you say "naming" you mean "describing the sexual assault", don't you?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Saying WHAT is "unacceptable"?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem it's understood in many different ways.
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC WHAT is understood in many different ways?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem The different forms of sexual violence but rape as an example
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC "Rape is a category of sexual assault but not all sexual assault is rape." Would you agree?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Thanks. Here it is again: How does one "name" rape in order to "challenge" it? http://t.co/MhQcUZQxU0
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem In part to lift the taboo so people who have experienced sexual violence feel more confident to say they have & stop it
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC So *any* sexual assault is rape even if it is not sexual intercourse without consent? It would confuse these women, don't you think?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 12, 2015
@ntfem Also because language constructs meaning which is particularly important for the media so rather than 'child sex' in a headline
— Coventry Rape Crisis (@CRASAC) June 12, 2015
@CRASAC Your intention is to sensationaise and exaggerate the incidence of rape in order to demonise men, I see.
