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…

She went to his place after dinner. That is literally consent.

I hope you never let the cable repair person in your house. They might think you want bone. Going to someone’s apartment after a date isn’t consent.

You had me up to the last. Sorry, but no. Going back to his apartment isn’t consent: it’s an action by itself. Assuming anything else is just asinine.

The fact that he repeatedly made sexual advances after being asked to stop, including following a woman around his apartment and repeatedly continuing after she asked him not too, both verbally and non-verbally. But cute attempt at implying I’m racist.

Yup.

the slapping and yelling wasn’t because women were better, stronger, gutsier, or grittier in the old days: this struggle was tied up inextricably in female purity and the stakes a woman faced in her eventual, and all but obligatory married life—where, by the way, once there, she had no recourse should her husband…

So when she repeatedly asked him to stop and removed her hand from where he put it on his genitals, that was her revoking consent. So he’s still predatory and gross.

By going “back to his place” the only thing you’re consenting to is going into his home.

Nope, that is not literally consent. That is a miscommunication. He assumed consent, she did not affirm consent.

+100 for your username

That is literally consent.

I’m just gonna leave this here

How is Aziz not a predator? Because he has as squeaky little voice?

The thing is if they want to have a conversation about how journalists pursue these types of stories go ahead, but don’t do it at the same time you’re talking about an allegation against a famous Man U like.

“And to suggest that sticking your fingers down a woman’s throat on the first hookup is unexpected - please get out more.”

Um...what?

YUP x 1 billion

Going to someone’s place does not mean you consent to any and all sexual acts following your arrival there, and this idea is damaging as fuck.

If you consent to vaginal sex but not to anal sex, but someone has anal sex with you anyway, when you didn’t consent to it, would you say “Oh but I went back to their place so…

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.

I knew Jez would do this story eventually, but this was not what I was expecting, but I’m not surprised.
