Aziz Ansari Doesn't Pick Up On "Non-Verbal Cues" and Gets Treated Like A Rapist

I think the semantics over it being 'assault' is a distraction.  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.

Isn't that crazy though?  That the norm is the guy tries things that might bother you so much you'd punch him in the face over it?  Doesn't it seem like there should be another step of some nature in there for both your benefits?   What if a guy is willing to take a punch over grabbing a tit.  What disincentives his behavior in that scenario?
