    Clark asked Shaw, "Have you ever been donkey punched?" The comment made her uncomfortable because of the accompanying gesture he used and the way he said it. She did not know what he meant at that time and assumed he was referring to a violent act. Shortly thereafter, however, she asked her sister Tara about the term. Tara told her the phrase had a sexual connotation and referred to a sexual position. In a declaration, filed in opposition to the summary adjudication motion, Shaw stated that within a few days of Clark's comment, Tara explained to her that "donkey punched" described an act of anal sex by tackle or force, involving violence.
