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

[Catholic_Lady]

Let's go back to the comment I made. It was this:


I dont mention religion or being religious at all here, and it was by no means meant to be a religious comment.

A person need not be Catholic to have this view of sex, and Im sure there are atheists out there who also think that hook up culture/porn/using each other in bed is unhealthy and counterproductive to having a better sense of respect for other people. I'm sure there are atheists who also think it's a positive thing for sex to be a language of self giving love and commitment to another person, verses just using each other for pleasure in a one night stand. This can be just as much a humanist approach, and Catholicism doesn't have ownership to this, just as it doesn't have ownership to many other views on morality.  

I'd like to think I'd still have this view of sexuality even if I wasn't religious... simply because it seems the healthiest and makes the most logical sense to me. I made that comment because I was voicing my honest response to the post above it. I in no way meant to push Catholic agenda by doing so (still not sure what that even means).

CL, let me tell you why I want to be extra clear that I’m not offended by that post and while I disagree, I still understand how someone can think that way.
It’s important to me, because you and I have participated in threads in which I was actually offended and felt deeply about my counter arguments, threads which were also about sexual assault. That was actually the first interaction I ever had with you, I think. Ever since then I try to keep away from rapey threads, to avoid conflict and unnecessary stress. I promised myself I’d keep calm during the duration of this one, because I found it interesting to discuss and to see how people feel about this specific case. I’m happy to see I’ve kept my cool, and more importantly, that I haven’t even seen anything that could offend me. Perhaps I’m growing up, too (like pool lol)? And the thing is that I really do understand where you’re coming from there, even when I disagree. In this particular case. I still feel strongly about my disagreements regarding other issues, but I want to be super clear that I don’t feel like that post was offensive.

Omg I’m being so redundant today lol

Thanks girl. That post was to clarify for those people accusing me of trying to push my agenda, and I knew you weren't one of them.

I'm sorry to hear I upset you so deeply in a past thread about rape. While I dont recal such a thread, let me reiterate that I would never think of rape as anything other than a horrible, evil thing, and never ever the victim's fault. I'm sorry if I ever may have given you a different impression somehow.
