According to your summary of the show, though, she was raped at least twice. The second one had more intent but the first was still rape. People can consent when they're drunk, up to a point, and it seems that the character passed that point - if she's not sure of what happened, if she passed out promptly afterwards.…

It's not cool. He may not have meant her harm and he knew that but SHE didn't know that. Hopefully she didn't notice. This is very worrisome, that he put his acting ahead of a woman's emotional security.

I would argue that every field has researchers who are affected by biases and preconceptions. Furthermore, as you pointed out in your post, not everyone who enters the field is motivated by a desire…

I've never had anyone tell me to "Smile," while out in public and I'm really grateful for that. I'd imagine that would make me feel really bad.

He obviously thought he could bully you. He was wrong.
