He ain’t tweet in days now. Dude is cancelled
I first heard of him one Saturday morning drive listening to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!” On NPR
Very well stated my gI agree... and that's one of the red flags I mentioned. However, she also mentioned that when they had a discussion about the incident he looked at it like the situation with the kiss. He wanted to kiss her the first time but thought better of it, after they spent more time together he went for it and she was receptive. He tried to initiate sex in the same way and she shut him down, he allowed time to pass and chose that moment to try and initiate again. By her own admission, her fear caused her to freeze. She didn't tell him no, or to stop. And once he saw her crying and realized she wasn't okay-- in her own words-- he stopped, and immediately took her home. He didn't drug her or punch her into the dirt and savage her.
So even though I absolutely agree with you, I won't say he's a victim per se- but he is a cautionary tale. We live in a society that says men have to initiate everything. The initial contact. The exchange of numbers. The first date. First kiss. Sex. Marriage. I just think it's intellectually dishonest to take something as complex and nuanced as human interaction and and apply a black and white label to events influenced by emotions. I know people like to pretend online, but the vast majority of guys have had to play this "cat and mouse" game with women. Many of them marry those same women and have children.
So I suppose the real question is how do you ensure something like this doesn't happen to women OR men? What sort of legal instrument do you propose be created to protect both parties prior to intercourse of any kind?
