Sure, she could have and probably should have left sooner than she did. None of which is relevant to whether what Aziz did is okay. Staying in his apartment is not consent to sex. None of the other things she did are consent to sex, either. That shouldn’t be confusing to men, and I don’t think it actually is. It’s…

Absolutely. He was a persuasive dick. Admittedly his star power attracted her to him in the first place, but that gave him no right to try to badger her into sex. But home girl needed to cut her losses. Yes he’s just as dickish as those other guys. You are just body parts to him. Leave his house. Don’t try to salvage…

Yes and then she qualified those rejections with I wanted him to take it slow, let’s chill, rub my back, play with my hair. If the night went the way she’d imagined it, she would have been fine. If it was up to him to understand that there would never be sex on the table that night, it was up to her to understand that…

He did cross a line. He crossed a line into “being a dick” and “pestering her for sex”. That means he acted like a douchebag, that does NOT mean he committed sexual assault. He was sleazy for sure, but saying this is the same as people who literally force themselves on people is insane. 

She gave some clues... but as a really stupid man who’s bad at taking clues, she was vague and lead him to believe sex was a possibility.

I’m super liberal, and still find the majority of the content on Jezebel cringeworthy. The types of stories Jezebel 2018 publishes are the exact kind of extremism that gets spotlighted by the right in an effort to show people in the middle how crazy liberals are. Instead of growing the cause of progressive feminism…

Yep. But it’s important that we be mad about anything and everything I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So unnecessary. Anyone’s comedy routine picked to pieces like this would sound lame, offensive, and unfunny. Let’s let the man live his life, he doesn’t deserve the same level of scrutiny as Louis CK or Matt Lauer. 

Aziz Ansari doesn’t deserve the level of vitriol directed at Louis CK et al. CK masturbated to his subordinates then blackballed them with his influence. Aziz Ansari thought he was getting a groupie one night stand, she thought it was a date. Neither of them clarified their expectations for the night. He was an…

This seems like an unneccessary article

NO!

“Makes it sound like he was continuing to take the pills as he feared overdose” not really. “overdosing” is commonly used to describe the state of being in a overdose, not just the act of taking an overdose

She didn’t pass up anything. The director said he always wanted Letitia Wright, so basically she said no to an offer she never got. Ok, me too I decided to stop pursuing Jason Mamoa...so he settled for Lisa Bonet. Colorism makes a biracial actress a saint when she didn’t even do anything. Sigh.

Yup. 100% why I walked away from working conventions and being an active part of the ‘geek community’ as a whole. All the ‘you can’t cosplay X if you’re Y’ verbal abuse that went on was sickening.

You missed “mammy” as a possible role.

The unwritten rule for black women in Hollywood is that if you want to carry a sword, fly into space or fight aliens, you’ve got to be racially ambiguous.

Forgive me this question, but why do you have to give her a gift? I’ve never done that with a job. If you really feel compelled, a thoughtful thank-you note should do the trick in professional settings. 

Your treatment has made me so angry. I’m so sorry this happened to you. You deserve justice, and I know you’ll ace the bar.

I understand what she’s going through. I have a 17 yr old son. I’m Black and his Dad is Puerto Rican. So far he’s had 3 girlfriends. All White. I recently mentioned this to his Dad, and his Dad’s response was he doesn’t think our son finds Black women attractive. It hurts like hell, because it makes me feel like I…

Literally, probably about 10 girls I looked at had the same light skin, curly hair, tiny waist, butt, boobs—it was the same girl over and over again. So I asked them to show me the most beautiful chocolate sister they’ve seen. They say there are none.
