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

I’m not comfortable with the word “fault” though. I think we should be able to have an open discussion about the benefits of teaching women to be clear, and confident during sexual encounters without playing the blame game. If something I said came across as blame, it was not my intention. As I said a few pages back, I personally struggle empathizing with women who have such an apparant hard time saying, “stop, I don’t like what you’re doing.” Perhaps, if she had felt empowered enough to say that right up front, her shitty night wouldn’t have gone on for as long as it did. That’s not blame; I just truly wonder why this is so difficult for some women. In all of her account, she never once claimed she felt unsafe, afraid, or threatened by Ansari, so how does an adult woman come to feel so helpless during an experience that (seems to me) she had plenty of control over?

Damn, you beat me to it!   

I disagree that it’s a comparable scenario though.  And, I don’t think women should be operating under the assumption that every guy who hits on her while they’re alone together is going to most certainly rape her if she rejects his advances, lol.

I agree.  Mildly relevant to the discussion at best.  But any excuse to post it will be taken.

Dennis Reynolds is not comparable to most of the human population, and that’s exactly why we love him.  😛
