It’s the teacher’s reaction that is the real problem.

ugh. spell-check-ception. Foiled while calling someone else out. Ain’t that a nitch?

When the issue made its way up to the school administrators, the teacher explained herself that pointing out that letter “B” and “N” are right next to each other on the keyboard.

Why do I feel like the word shouldn’t even be in a spellchecker’s dictionary? It should always show up underlined when typed. Maybe Clippy should be resurrected just for that purpose.

“she let him get away with rape”

Sex is not almonds.

“Giving in is not synonymous with giving consent—though sometimes, it is entirely necessary.”

It wasn’t just non-verbal though. She told him she wanted to wait until the next date. She told him “let’s chill” and “let’s keep our clothes on” when he started getting handsy.

That went far worse than I saw coming, and it was really brave of you to tell your story.

Yes, I think claiming Aziz’s career is near destroyed, he’s the victim of revenge porn, men are being criminalized, the MeToo movement is now wayward, misrepresenting stats, and calling a whole generation of young women “weak” can be characterized as shrieking histrionics. And that’s a very restrained descriptor. tysm

I agree with you, but just want to add that Grace did, in fact, explicitly say she did not feel comfortable, did not want to have sex and did want him to slow down, many times. He just willfully and repeatedly disregarded her explicit nos. There’s also the fact that Ansari wrote a whole book on navigating tricky…

I think we can all agree that if we spoke to some of bruthabrads past dates, we’d find victims.

OH MY GOD

Samantha Bee said it well. No one is disingenuous as to say Ansari is like Weinstein and that he should lose his job or be criminally charged. But if you are going to wear a #TimesUp pin and have a public persona as a feminist, you should know that your interactions with a woman was considered violating and coercive.

My view is that the reason men are reacting so badly to this accusation is that most guys who see themselves as decent people can easily look at Weinstein and think “I’ve never done something so awful and disgusting” but they hear this sort of accusation and they start to realise they have done this so it can’t be…

I have noticed that a lot of the cherry-picked quotes directly from Grace’s account that many sites have used seem to mysteriously skip over the parts where she recounts directly telling him that she was uncomfortable or physically recoiling from him (how is that subtle exactly?). Although way too many people have…

He wasn’t asked to enter a blurry Captcha, all he had to do was listen when a woman said “I’d rather not hate you” and “I don’t want to do this”. It’s not that fucking difficult. He’s professionally trained to read and respond to people’s emotional cues.

I am a woman.

Here’s the problem:

I see the resident rape apologist is out and already starred. Fantastic. Here’s why I don’t buy that men “don’t understand what’s going on with women”: because it’s bullshit. There have been multiple studies that have proven over and over again that men do understand body language and non-verbal cues, they just choose…
