Hey, that’s not fair. They summarize Daily Mail articles, too.

Exactly, the normalcy of this story was the most depressing part to me. I immediately dismissed her claims of sexual assault like “oh girl, this is just dating in your 20s, get used to it.” And then I realized how sad that was. I think we have a generation of men who grew up inundated with hardcore porn and…
damn straight women have such such low standards.
You’re victim blaming, and it’s gross
Agree. This is a guy who literally wrote the book on things like body language and dating in the modern world and is a feminist who respects women and yet “misinterpreted” a woman’s feelings and literal words coming out of her damn mouth to the point that she felt coerced and traumatized.
Ansari has always struck me as a creep, and I have long felt that straight women lauding him as some sort of feminist ally hero was indicative of their desperation to make nice with straight men.
I can’t even believe all you trolls explaining away this as “not assault”. You’re basically saying you’d do the same as aziz did and be proud of yourself. Gross, dangerous and deluded ego. And your defending anal rape. Wow. So chase around some 23 yr old who is partly clothed in your apartment after they said slow…
Are you seriously asking why he should be held accountable for his bad behavior?
Do you know how many women are assualted or murdered when they say no flat out?
Fucking thank you. This is gross. This angle is gross. I have no words. Let’s hope the root has a better take. Once again relying on people of color to do the work that white women fail to do. I’m so proud.
Fuck this. All these assholes coming out against Grace is hurting MeToo more than anything else. Misogynists are jumping for joy that apparently coercive behavior and pressuring women is not seen as a bad thing. Everyone keeps slut-shaming Grace, or straight-up ignoring the facts of the situation. She came out BECAUSE…
Thank God this is finally up so we can collect the shitty hot takes of shitty dudes. Life just wouldn’t have been complete without it.
Huh? She gave both obvious verbal and non-verbal cues. And what needs to change is men need to start ASKING for consent, not using a lack of an explicit hard “NO STOP NO STOP!!!” as a way to try to push further.
Umm No. Men should learn/listen to non-verbal cues. We all give them off men included.
Jezebel, always trying to be the cool girl who the boys will like.
I didn’t go to j-school but I’m pretty sure in the business that’s called a “lead”
This piece is fucking shameful. You were silent on it this weekend but finally decided to throw in your two cents to criticize how the story was told and talk about consent “blurring”? Jezebel, what the fuck are you doing?
You don’t get a pass on misbehavior because you’ve done some “ally” shit. If you can’t honestly assess your past behavior and accept honest criticism of it, you were never much of an ally to begin with.
The babe author’s tone, predictably, became the grounds for attack by critics, but the fact that they reached out to Grace and not the other way around isn’t journalistic malpractice. It’s reporting.
This piece is unreal. I’ve been looking for Jez’s take on this for over 24 hours. They haven’t covered it at all except to say that Babe did it badly. Way to have those tough conversations, Jez
