13226185, this was a decent read Posted by MiracleRic, Tue Jan-16-18 10:50 AM
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
