    But, though "sex trend" coverage is always obnoxious, it becomes downright dangerous when it obscures and trivializes sexual violence. The latest instance: "stealthing," a practice in which men remove their condoms during sex without their partner's consent. It's drawn plenty of overheated coverage already: The New York Post dubs it "The New Dangerous Sex Trend;" it's a "Disturbing Sex Trend" as per USA Today. You would hardly know from these headlines what the fuss is about: National Women's Law Center fellow Alexandra Brodsky's recent paper in the Columbia Journal of Law and Gender advocates for criminalizing "stealthing" as a form of sexual assault.
