So I’ve lived in the US, in Seattle, for about 10 years now, so I’m not at huge football fan, but I do enjoy watching, especially the playoffs and the superbowl.

Way to reduce the entire discussion and context of it all into that neat little package. Not like it’s more complicated than that or anything.

Why?? Because we need to stand up for ourselves and stop putting ourselves in uncomfortable and maybe even dangerous situations just because we are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings.

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

No you’re right. This is something that needs to be discussed.....Obviously being threatened or scared is a 100% completely different situation. Women in general can learn from this....if you are in a situation where someone isn’t picking up what you are trying to communicate, speak up. Make it very clear. Or leave.…

If that’s true, then fine. I’ve never seen any other proof-positive stories—not rumors—about him made public like this one, and if there is any, I’d like to see the links. It would for certain change my mind.

Ok, I’ll say it....he’s a terrible date. A completely horrible, horrible date. He thinks he’s being sexy and hot by the finger thing and asking her where he can fuck her.....he just really thought she would hear that and feel it and be like, “Oh.....well....ok sure I’m really turned on now let’s do it!!” He fucked up…

Yes, exactly this. A lot of men might think the answer to this is either ignoring us, not being around us, or treating us “special”. It’s not about any of that. It’s about just being a nice human.

Oh man. I’m sort of with you here. I don’t know. I understand she was in a position where she didn’t want to offend him, and as a woman we’ve all been there......but after a certain point, you have to speak up for yourself, especially since, going by the article, she didn’t feel physically threatened. You can’t just…

UGHH. Ok. I *sorta* understand what she’s saying here, and it might be something that should be part of the discussion, right or wrong.

Yeah, well you should be embarrassed. You’ve been screaming about how the other poster can’t let anything go and is triggered, yet you keep commenting and keep commenting and keep commenting, getting more and more upset. You don’t even see it, which is comical.

Bro. Stop. I lurk, never comment. But I feel the need to tell you that you are embarrassing yourself.
