I think the issue is whether it's a problem and how to deal with it, which I don't think the divide is as big. Where I see the difference is Shell B wanting women to chiefly be responsible, and others wanting the responsibility to be shared more? So for all the back and forth, I don't think anyone is too far apart in the end.
I can’t speak for ShellBs, but it’s incredibly difficult for me to empathize with women, like this gal, who have such a hard time vocalizing themselves in these situations. I just can’t fathom allowing my date to grope me; I can’t imagine not pushing him off or popping him in the nose. But, that’s no one’s problem but mine I suppose.
Yeah I agree. I've been pressured. I've had guys test their boundaries. I've been put on guilt trips. (All before the age of 20 btw)
But I've always said no. And if I would have ever given in and done what they wanted at any point, I'm pretty sure it would never have crossed my mind to have accused them of assaulting me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
