I think it’s dope, if I’m Auntie Maxine that thing immediately becomes my cover page on Twitter. 

Feel free! Although it’s not an idea for which I can exactly claim credit. As much as I seem to be getting pounded for it here (hurray, dismiss button!), the notion that consent requires the option to say no without consequence is a very established concept.

I’d be more on board with the “She doesn’t have to answer for her husband” if she just didn’t answer. If she was like “I’m not here to talk about what my husband did 20 years ago,” I’d be like “Ok, fair.”
