Why should they... Bullying is a generalised topic but you wouldn't tackle online or psychological bullying the same way as physical would you?

To highlight rape/bullying isn't just physical.
It might feed into the misconception that rape is merely literally forcing someone into sex by physically restraining or beating them.

No, but they would be included in the same topic when discussing "bullying".

Or it would be separated into "Physical" and "Psychological".

But like I said, I think the tea analogy was actually perfect IMO for explaining the verbal coercion and guilt-tripping aspects as it would highlight how ridiculous and obvious it is trying to force someone into something they simply don't want to do. I don't know why they left it out.

I don't agree I think coercion has to be handled more sensitively.

Rape is rape. If understanding comes from a silly cartoon of a stick man then it's great. Some of the very basic misunderstandings and misconceptions that come with complex emotional and physical crimes like rape are actually astounding. If it can be tackled by simple examples, then that's not a bad thing.

You can get into the details with them sensitively, but to highlight it and get everyone on the same page of understanding, it's a good method.

A petty quip rather than a response. Ok.

Is 'rape is rape' not a quip?
