Wasn't the Louis CK situation in professional settings? I might be remembering incorrectly. To be fair, I never thought that was assault, either, but it was definitely creep level 10.
Listen, I've been in situations like this woman is reporting enough times that it's familiar. When I was a teenager, I hung out with older guys. I froze like she did on at least two occasions. However, even at that age, I said no clearly. I didn't actively engage in any sexual acts. When I realized no wasn't going to cut it, I rag dolled instead of running. I get it. I understand more than the men who haven't suffered sexual assault putting forth these scenarios that it's complicated. I sympathize. I simply don't see it as more than creepy as hell if she didn't make herself unquestionably clear and either A. leave or B. continue to say no to his advances. If my husband said he was uncomfortable, I would assume he meant with how things were currently going. Switching gears to maybe oral seems like a natural thing to do. He would have to say, "I'm not in the mood for anything" for me to take that as his meaning. I guess I'm a sexual predator.
