I’m guessing he has a new album coming out soon?

Both of these cases were weakly presented by the Crown. Colton Boushie was part of a group who had been drinking for several days and had just come from another farm where they attempted to steal a car. They came onto Gerald Stanley’s farm and immediately tried to steal an ATV and vehicle. Things escalated and Boushie…

Can we stop conflating Tina Fontaine and Colton Boushie? Tina was a vulnerable child who was targeted by some old pervert.  Colton was a grown-ass man who was drunk when he and his friends tried robbing a family and then got himself shot. Apples and oranges.

The corruption of our youth by Canadians will not stop unless we halt this ice-dancing filth in its track. What’s next? They pause in the middle of their seductive dance to hand out leaflets on the need for a universal health-care system?

Sigh. How far down this rabbit hole are we going to go? Now we’re at enthusiastic consent? I’m not sure how we measure a level of enthusiasm.

It’s also a perfect teaching moment about enthusiastic non-consent, like leaving.

Already asked and addressed multiple times.

“well, no means no, plus you have to physically leave the space for them to respect that, otherwise I think it’s just awkward sex.”

they have already violated you in a very profound way.

She didn’t say no until the very end, though. At which point he stopped trying. And, yes, he was pressuring her into sex the whole time, not coercing her into sex. People seem to not realize that coercion involves force or threats.

“Sounds like he was thinking hook up the entire time, while she was thinking something else.”

Every time she expressed hesitation or said she wasn’t comfortable with something, he stopped. She doesn’t try to leave until the end and he doesn’t stop her. Instead he calls her an Uber. Also, she’s a grown adult too and doesn’t seem like she was forced into anything. Being inconsiderate is not the same thing as…

He was absolutely tacky. And we’ve all been there. But to call this an “assault” diminishes assault and removes agency from women. (Not arguing at you - just thinking out loud!)

But I thought 23 was #adulting? So if you date anyone who is older and/or has more money, it’s automatically a power imbalance weighted against the woman?

The story reads to me like a groupie dissatisfied she was treated like a groupie.

Just here for the comments:

You can support adoption and ethical breeding at the same time.

Speaking of Fred Armisen, I was really expecting there to be new accusations about him coming out.

If only the USA has an equivalent of Prime Minister’s Questions every week....

This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.
