but it's definitely reframing things

yes...dating is transactional and the roles we've been socialized into sucks...and aren't conducive to healthy sex lives

but that doesn't make this assault

nearly EVERYONE has accepted her story as true (that's huge)

but the atlantic and other places are also right to call it out as a hit piece to a certain extent

i think it's important to look out for women without having to infantilize them

i think this story is important when talking about the overall climate that makes #metoo necessary but that framing it as assault is really fucked up

people want to break the paradigm while adhering to it staunchly
