I never said the status quo was all good. I said what is being proposed is not good, either. If you tell women that they are helpless long enough, they believe it.
I was referring to your earlier comments about expressing your utter lack of desire and consent more thoroughly than we're positing the girl in question to have done, btw, when mentioning that you didn't respond the way she did.
