Exploring motivations for using fantasy-themed and animal-shaped sex toys
The Murky Circumstances of Consent in Canada

While at trial, it was found that the complainant consented to the sexual activity, and the BC Court of App…

The research that does exist is piecemeal and generally focuses on a specific area of the system, ignoring the more global view of the criminal justice system. Further, such research is largely American. Given th…
An Exploratory Study of Incels’ Dating App Experiences, Mental Health, and Relational Well-Being
Incel refers to an online group of young males who feel frustration and despair at being repeatedly neglected on the dating market. Despite gaining notoriety for a number of public attacks, the majority of incel research is comprised of analyses of their forums rather than of individuals themselves.
