It’s funny where comments end up. Yours, for example, has nothing to do with the content of the article. And yet it received the most stars. You once like a famous person but now you’re over them. Let’s call the commentary gods. We’ve got something original.

I feel like Steve Bannon just slaps his genitals on things to receive pleasure. I don’t think “making love” applies.

I’ve found that my flaws have evolved. I don’t understand people who have had the same relationship over and over, such that each time the same flaws ruin it.

Here, here.

Yes.

Trump does have a bull market for now. That will keep a certain sort of Republican a-okay with the dude.

But would anyone have the problem with this outside of this context? It’s cringe worthy but I can see a lot of people liking it in that “This is what a feminist looks like” t-shirt way.

Uh I don’t think you’re wrong that everyone who’s not white is on their shit list, but I think you’d be right to temper the profoundly self-serving view that the people they “especially” hate are economically successful POC. It’s pretty clear that’s not born out and attempting to co-opt rage to protect the most…

Think it’s got a bit to do with what the dude in question expects. This dude clearly expected a cookie.

This is true but does it apply to this instance? It sounds like she accepted being a mistress and enjoyed it enough (enjoyment can be complicated) past her leaving the show. This hardly screams of being a victim.

I’m interested where the actors autonomy and free will come into this? Samuel L. Jackson has spoken about all of this many times over. He’s not some actor struggling for work, where you could argue he has no choice but to take the part. That doesn’t mean he can’t be wrong, but surely it makes more complicated your…

But why do you feel raped in the scenario you have described? Would you not have consented 0 or 1 or 2 beers in?

The only problem with, “If you are drunk then do not pester for sex, especially if you are in a party with drunken people”, is everything. You’re advancing your own ethics on a situation where most would disagree. It’s a valiant cause on your part, but not likely a battle you’ll win.

Didn’t Brock violate her with an object though too? I mean his was very clear. They were near a dumpster and she was passed out, with witnesses. His sentencing remains an absolute disgrace.

It’s surprising this isn’t often the move and I don’t understand the entitlement of anyone to sex. I’ve been in maybe four or five situations where the reason I was in this persons bed was that I was given the idea sex was being offered. And maybe it was at first. But they changed their mind and I said, “Okay”,…

But what if you seem sober when blacked out? As I do.

Thank you for bringing that word to my attention. Da Germans, ya?

It’s difficult because I’m a dude and by your standard 6 women have raped me because they didn’t check in or I have no memory of them doing so. I have no memory when I black out. I imagine I consented or even initiated, but my full faculties weren’t there.

Completely agree. What is your thought though on the consciousness of a person who has “blacked out”? As I do when I get too drunk. I don’t pass out or even slur or give off much sign that I’m beyond the pale.

Let me start by saying this video does unequivocally apply to this particular situation. Context, to my view, must be applied to these cases. Context is unhelpful, because it is not unilateral. It involves perhaps leaning on moral codes instead of legal ones. Context means activists may not always be happy with…
