Coercive Rape Tactics Perpetrated against Asexual College Students: A Quantitative Analysis Considering Students' Multiple Identities
Mollet, Amanda L.; Black, Wayne
Journal of College Student Development, v64 n1 p96-101 Jan-Feb 2023
The overwhelming majority of scholarship about collegiate sexual violence centers experiences of white, cisgender, heterosexual women (Harris et al., 2020; Linder et al., 2020), although LGBTQ students experience even higher rates of sexual violence than their cisgender and heterosexual peers (Cantor et al., 2019). The exclusion of asexual students' experiences is not surprising given the erasure and invisibility of asexuality within hypersexualized collegiate cultures (Mollet & Lackman, 2019), but the expansion of scholarship has begun acknowledging violence experienced by asexual people, including unwanted sexual experiences (Mollet & Black, 2021; Lund, 2021). Without asexual examinations and consideration of students' multiple identities, knowledge remains limited in ways that suggest monolithic experiences that obfuscate realities of perpetration tactics and limit innovative prevention strategies. In response, the research question guiding this analysis is: What is the relationship between asexual students' multiple identities and predicting odds of experiencing specific coercive rape tactics used by perpetrators? Data for this study came from the publicly available data of the 2019 Asexual Community Survey (ACS), an annual online survey conducted by members of the asexual community, which includes a variety of demographic and optional question blocks. The analytic sample for this study included 1,267 asexual participants from around the world who indicated being current graduate or undergraduate college students and responded to the sexual violence question block
