Cute Nicknames for Men Who Assault Women

[ccharles000]

Inappropriate nicknames are turning bizarre assaults into hilarious encounters on college campuses.

At Georgetown University yesterday morning, an unknown man revived a year-long series of assaults between GWU, Georgetown, and American University in which he breaks into women's apartments near campus, lies down next to or on top of them while they sleep, attempts to enter them with his hand, then runs away when they scream. This earned him the nickname "The Georgetown Cuddler."

This March at the University of California, Berkeley, a man targeted young women wearing dresses and skirts, and attempted to penetrate them with his hand before running away. Many of the assaulted students were en route from frat or sorority parties on Piedmont Avenue, and the man was dubbed the "Piedmont Poker," and the "Digital Penetrator," after the police report for "digital penetration."

News coverage of assaults has varied results; it can empower women by condemning the violence, but can also heighten fear in the discussion of diminished personal safety. It is possible that these inappropriate nicknames could serve as coping mechanisms for some students to alleviate their fears. Monikers can turn horror into humor. But in the long run, they diminish the seriousness of the situation.

When someone "cuddly" has "surprise sex" with or "pokes" women, reporting it as such excuses the attacker, dismisses violence as acceptable, and condescends to survivors.

3. How anyone could equate sexual assault with "cuddling" is beyond me.

Worthless misogynists.

[oligarhy]

4. I doubt the victim considered it 'cuddling'

...

5. Yes, the names are juvenile and diminish the impact of these crimes. Plus these guys will escalate

That usually happens with would-be rapists. They start by following women around or assaulting them like the "cuddler" then they begin to rape and then -- if they are not punished for their crimes -- killing women. These facts are well-documented in the history of sexual assault.

6. Criminals of any kind should never be given nicknames.

Serial killers always seem to have some catchy moniker. That is the wrong thing to do.

7. Amen. It's about time someone took this seriously. nt

9. Many years ago, a buddy of mine went to the doctor with a foot problem.

The doc said "I'm afraid you have gonorrhea of the big toe."

"Oh, crap" he said, "that must be the strangest thing you've ever seen!"

The doctor answered "Almost, yesterday I treated a lady with athlete's vagina"

tss boom


:D

Please don't think I'm minimizing a problem, it's just an old joke the story reminded me of.

17. How bout The Disgusting Pig

which is actually not fair to pigs...

I used to live in Berkeley, right on Piedmont Ave. The attacks are probably within a few blocks of where I lived. It's a beautiful area, with a million-dollar view of the bay and SF and the GG Bridge, but lots of frats and co-ops, with young girls everywhere.

I hope some drunk, angry frat boys catch this MFer in the act and give him a little "hazing", the hard way.
