"Poll question: So did Katy Perry commit sexual assault or nah?"


          

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2SDedJG9mo

If there's no fuss made about this, does this prove the #metoo movement is sexist/misandry?

If she was a male, and the guy was a girl, would Kaleb Perry be #metoo'd up out the paint already?

Is this perfectly ok regardless of the sexes involved?

What say yall?

It's a thin line between "Annoyance" and "Assault"
Mar 22nd 2018
2
It’s only assault if the victim feels it’s assault
Mar 22nd 2018
3
of course she did
Mar 22nd 2018
4
Oh lord lol
Mar 22nd 2018
5
In theory: yes. In practical terms: no.
Mar 22nd 2018
6

Mar 22nd 2018

Its definitely a double standard, when I was like elementary school age....
Mar 22nd 2018
11
      We'd all be better of if we realize double standards exist for a reason
Mar 22nd 2018
14
      Does this particular double standard have a good reason?
Mar 22nd 2018
16
           yes, men and women are different
Mar 22nd 2018
18
                You listed more double standard examples. I'm asking abt the reasoning.
Mar 22nd 2018
19
                     without researching, the reasons for the double standard
Mar 22nd 2018
20
                     Hmm... it seems your number #2 neutralizes the argument here...
Mar 22nd 2018

Folks hate these types of examples
Mar 22nd 2018

And a lot of the time the difference is in how big of a deal the victim decides to make of the issue.

Unless the victim is underage.

it’s prolly considered uncomfortable tho.

and sure, if the situation was reversed folks would be quick to call it assault.

7. "its not assault."
In response to Reply # 0


          

the guy went in for a kiss. he was expecting a cheek and gots lips but that doesn't equal assault.

for me the tricky part is there was pressure on him, but he wasn't unwilling to kiss her.

Katy could make or break his entertainment career with the whole world watching. She had power and he was coerced. Obviously she's not Harvey levels but it has all of the ingredients.

At the very least she should release a statement if we're going off of all of the other cases.

I'm ok with double standards up to a point so I don't give a shit either way, but you gotta call a spade a spade.

Low key though him saying I wanted to the kiss to be special is a roundabout way of saying i'm only kissing you if we fucking. But Katy raped his time so I'm riding with him.

Who would say shit to us like “I can’t wait for you get older”

I’ll never forget one woman, she was like 10 years older than me and when I was finally legal she just blurted it out. “You finally legal”

I shoulda got at her but i was thrown off. Didn’t expect that to be the first words out of her mouth.

I would go to my mom's office she had a co-worker that would literally chase me around the office and tackle me and kiss me and my mom and all of the other women in the office would laugh about it.

A man could never do that with a little girl lol.

In response to Reply # 16


          

2 drunk people have sex (man and woman) who is supposed to be the responsible party?

white teachers out here sexing underage boys everyday and how many go free or receive light sentences?

it's also the reason you have rjcc following you around joking you about a topic you discussed.

Why do these exist? Is there some physical reason? Historical reasons?
Are they legitimate reasons?

1. men are typically physically stronger than women
2. men are typically in positions of power and influence
3. men are more aggressive

as she was in the position of power.

Albeit this dude didn't appear very strong nor aggressive, but both of those are neutralized by power. Ask Terry Crews.

In response to Reply # 19


  

          

a lot of our standards are based on what kept the human species alive for 200,000 years. In modern society, we've established social constructs on top of our animal instincts that have improved our lives, but it winds up leading back to shit like this cause we want to act like men and women are the same.

but I think folks who are on the "men and women are the same" open themselves up to these stupid and obvious examples that show we aren't the same.

When I was yeah I was thinking about the more general definition of sexual assault as "any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient."

So yeah this is sexual assault under that definition. However if you look at criminal codes that define sexual assault, and of course sexual assault may have different definitions in different jurisdictions, but a typical definition looks something like this:

The Texas Penal Code, Sec. 22.011(a) defines sexual assault as

A person commits if the person:

(1) intentionally or knowingly:
(A) causes the penetration of the anus or sexual organ of another person by any means, without that person's consent;
(B) causes the penetration of the mouth of another person by the sexual organ of the actor, without that person's consent; or
(C) causes the sexual organ of another person, without that person's consent, to contact or penetrate the mouth, anus, or sexual organ of another person, including the actor; or
(2) intentionally or knowingly:
(A) causes the penetration of the anus or sexual organ of a child by any means;
(B) causes the penetration of the mouth of a child by the sexual organ of the actor;
(C) causes the sexual organ of a child to contact or penetrate the mouth, anus, or sexual organ of another person, including the actor;
(D) causes the anus of a child to contact the mouth, anus, or sexual organ of another person, including the actor; or
(E) causes the mouth of a child to contact the anus or sexual organ of another person, including the actor.

All from wikipedia.


Now some may think I am being overally technical or legalistic, but the fact of the matter is from a common sense persective, no one thinks of an unwanted peck kiss the same as rape. And most people wouldn't think of an unwanted peck kiss as criminal sexual assault whether it was done by a man or a woman.

Part of the reason the conversation is so f'd up is because the language we use to discuss it is so unsettled. You read an article about someone committed sexual assault and you really have no idea whether they forcibly raped someone or groped someone. Some would say it doesn't make a difference, most would say it does.

So yeah, that's my two cents.

In response to Reply # 0


          

be it to sexual harassment or violence. That's one reason the Catholic church has been able to rape young boys for centuries.

I've been jumped and assaulted a couple of times in my life. Sadly comes with the territory of being in the bar business/security. The first thing out of most women's mouths when asked about the incident was "Well, what did you do to provoke it?" not realizing the irony of the question.

When people see a big guy beating the crap out of a little guy they are far less offended than if he was beating a woman, even though both of the victims had about the same chance, feel pain equally, etc.

I think this is assault. But we can be clear about what this is without trying to undermine the very real, and very fucking necessary #MeToo movement/conversation.

Because it was so innocent.

It's not a big deal because of the context. Her hit song is "I kissed a girl", dude says he hasn't kissed a girl. The scene writes itself.

The exact same context with a guy wouldn't get anything other than the fake outrage that came out of the Katy Perry situation.

So the innocence of it makes it no big deal. Extrapolating this other situations is problematic. You can not say women (in general) sneaking kisses is no big deal. It is just as wrong as men doing it.

but they also have to know people will point at stuff like this that most folks see as cute and point out the hypocrisy. Imagine Robin Thicke doing that to a 19 year old girl.

Then you have folks agreeing with metoo and still getting shafted on for something in there past yet when it’s a woman who was cool with Weinstein it’s crickets or some other excuse for why she didn’t know or speak on it.

I think this is a good example for folks to speak on instead of getting upset.

'cause Terry Cruz spoke up in the middle of the movement via Twitter like everybody else and it looks like he out on an island by himself with that shit. And that nigga is famous.

I could be wrong but that's what it looks like.

So bringing attention to this goofy shit may not help it, but from the looks of things it damn sure won't hurt it either.

As for the #metoo questions, those are actual accusations made under the share I mentioned above... but also, there was a recent podcast by tonetalks entitled "How #metoo forgot Terry Crews: Why this is about power not gender" that involved 2 lawyers and a history professor discussing Terry's case that was extremely informative.
Here is it for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaH01ahXZwg

Not *you* but even the question... the assertion that #MeToo forgot about Terry Crews is just an effort to undermine and dilute the purpose of the movement.

I wouldn't raise it to the level of sexual assault. It has nothing to do with #metoo.
She just misread the situation.

Sexual assault is about power.

Fame, money, size, age etc can give a woman more power than a man.

Women don't wield that power sexually as often as men do, but there are many examples of it.

I personally think there should be more outrage about all those female school teachers who've slept w/ middle/high school-aged male students.

But toxic masculinity doesn't allow men to call those situations assault.

The fact that some of those (mostly white) women were able to get interviews on morning TV and explain their side of the story is fucking mind boggling to me.

Not that he was pushing back
But he was finishing a scene then she went in for the kiss


A non issue

But had that been Forrest putting that one good eye on lupita, then gripping her up for the full mouth 2 mouth kiss, there woulda been some publicist statement's being issued


Anyway yea Katy Perry was wrong but the double standard is often acceptable

This is some misdemeanor shit, I get the impression she did this in effort to create "good TV", that's still an asshole move on her part.

I think that's kind of the gift and curse of men generally not being physically threatened by women: It results in women getting assaulted/exploited but we (Men) also will brush off some things that could otherwise lead to women getting arrested/fired/ beat up.

it was a goofy American Idol moment
he's whatever the minimum age to be a contestant is
she called him over (the original premise was 'male has never been kissed') he walked over
it was sudden, he didnt know how to handle it
but she wasnt preying on him or trying to get anything out of him for her pleasure

to even draw a parallel between this and Harvey Weinstein is wild

you're imagining this and creating a hypothetical scenario

unless it was a live taping, the young man could have declined and the viral scene never would have happened

he wasnt kissed under duress, as far as we know Katy Perry doesnt have a repeated history of inappropriate contact with young men

I feel like you're upset about Bill Cosby or someone you like who really did foul shit to women and you're looking to equate this

This was, at the barest minimum, wildly inappropriate. But in my view, it rises to the level of assault. If a guy had done this to a young girl, you would not be saying the same thing.

I think men have to be a lot more careful about not even being questionable and causing people to raise their eyebrows

in this context (to me) it felt like "let me make this kid's dream come true on TV" and not predatory

which was KP's self importance/white pop star woman privilege at hand, to even assume the kid was there for all of that

but it was pretty tame on a scale of sexual actions

her intention was irrelevant. she was in a position of power over him and she used that to silently pressure him..it was predatory...it was absolutely 100% wrong and antithetical to everything the #metoo movement is shedding light on and trying to teach


>but it was pretty tame on a scale of sexual actions

fuck the scale. tame is a judgment that you don't get to make as it didn't happen to you...you don't get to tell someone else that what happened to them wasn't "as bad as" something else...

you don't get to tell anyone that just because they weren't raped, they weren't sexually assaulted..

Terry Crews had a judge throw out his lawsuit against Adam Venit because Venit didn't grab Terry's balls "skin to skin"....fuck that shit.

the kind of logic (or lack of) that you're displaying here is EXACTLY what #meToo is debunking.

an unwanted kiss can definitely be assault

it was a play on her song "I Kissed A Girl"
she didnt run up on him, she called him over (presumably to create a TV moment)

a silly kiss (in this context that I see to be innocent) is harmless

I would never say or imply that. but I dont think this case was sexual or assault. the furthest I'll go is it was an overstepping of the kid's boundaries, but 1) he was of age and 2) consent is almost implied if she said "come here Im gonna kiss you" and he walked over

>Terry Crews had a judge throw out his lawsuit against Adam
>Venit because Venit didn't grab Terry's balls "skin to

I think a muscular black man being inappropriately groped by a white guy is a very different dynamic from what Katy Perry was filmed by Fox doing with the American Idol contestant. it's unfortunate that Terry Crews wont get a fair shake from Hollywood or the legal system, but I dont think everyone else's risque action goes under the Me Too umbrella (i.e. Aziz Ansari trying too hard to get laid without forcing the issue)

for me it mostly boils down to context and intent, context more than anything

there is no grey area here. you either have consent or you don't. she didn't. she coerced.


>an unwanted kiss can definitely be assault

whenever the person has power over the other, it ALWAYS is. that's the part you're not getting. She was there to vote on whether or not he would go to Vegas. no. that was a clear abuse of power.

>but in this instance, she wasnt coming onto him

wow...and this is the same exact shit people say about Weinstein.. "he invited them to his room and they went willingly."

no, J. No. that's not how it works. When someone has power over you, OF COURSE you do what they say!

"consent is almost implied". really really read that over and over. please tell me you get how problematic that is...how that could go awry quickly

if you walk into a gay bar with your gay male friend, and another gay guy feels you up, that means he can claim that "consent is almost implied" because you willingly entered a bar catering toward gay men, which means you were fair game. I'm sure you'd disagree....but someone could reasonably make that claim if we allow that to be a thing.

that shit ain't a thing. no.


>I think a muscular black man being inappropriately groped by a
>white guy

No, he wasn't just a white guy tho...he was an extremely powerful white guy who worked for the same agency that was representing Terry. the power part is the key here

is a very different dynamic from what Katy Perry was
>filmed by Fox doing with the American Idol contestant.


nope. same. power.
it's

>Ansari trying too hard to get laid without forcing the issue)

yup, that falls under it too.

>for me it mostly boils down to context and intent, context
>more than anything

first right thing you've said. all of them fit the power dynamic context.

I definitely dont think her vote was determined by whether or not he walked over

Harvey Weinstein is a complete predator in situations that are different from what happened here

the proper analogy would be me walking into a gay bar, telling a gay man "I've never had a gay experience" then walking closer when he comes on to me. he still wouldnt have the right to touch me, but it could be interpreted as welcoming his advances. either way, I dont think Katy Perry was seriously coming onto this kid or even trying to place him in a compromising position

He also said "on the cheek", and when he went to kiss her cheek, she turned her head to make it a kiss on the lips. That's something he explicitly did not consent to.
If this fact doesn't change your mind, that's your prerogative, but I'm simply pointing this out to make sure the discussion remains honest... and I found it interesting that you omitted it on two occasions in one reply.

not "oh yeah wow i watched it again and she ignored his lack of consent"

but" yeah i watched it again and it was just a peck and it was short"

for anyone to display this kind of cognitive dissonance around sexual assault is frankly disgusting and i'm so done with this post

I wish we could reinstate the vast array of grey areas in our collective processing of transgression.

She's not suddenly some kind of sexual predator now. I feel bad for the kid, because it clearly wasn't something he wanted, but I feel worse for him if he was somehow primed in such a way that a surprise peck on the lips from a pretty girl (assuming he's attracted to females) would feel like assault. I feel like the healthy response if someone kisses you and you didn't want or like it is a moment of discomfort and get on with life. Everything is the end of the world now.

Actually, after writing everything above, I finally went and watched the whole scene, ans

A) it seemed totally scripted
B) the kid didn't seem half as mortified as ppl made it seem

"Changes his tune"

gee, i wonder why? maybe because of public pressure to clear a huge pop star and not cause trouble for American Idol? I'm sure NO ONE at Fox asked him to reconsider his claim

"19-year-old "American Idol" contestant Benjamin Glaze was tricked into kissing judge Katy Perry on the lips -- his first kiss ever -- during the season premiere of the retooled show. The moment generated headlines after Glaze told The New York Times the moment made him "a tad bit uncomfortable."

done. he was tricked and he said that he was uncomfortable.


and then, his tune change

"I am not complaining about the kiss from Katy Perry at all, doing a few news reports and being interviewed by many different reporters has caused some major questions," he wrote. "The way certain articles are worded is not done by me, and my true intentions are not accurately represented in every article you read about the situation. I am not complaining about the kiss, I am very honored and thankful to have been apart of 'American Idol.' The main purpose for the show is to find stars and new music artist."

This is such BLATANT coercion. y'all wanna be blind and ignorant, go right ahead...that will help you feel better about the double standard, i guess.

In response to Reply # 0


          

There's a lot of grey areas when it comes to this kind of thing and context is key. If she had stuck her tongue down his throat then there wouldn't be any doubt whatsoever.

I think it was foolish and inappropriate, and she is very irritating to say the least. But I'm not the young man on the receiving end, and who knows how he really feels about it.

In response to Reply # 125


          

because the odds of catching the virus is low if there is no visible cold sore present. Apparently most infections are acquired in childhood anyway, not by kissing people as adults. I'm no expert though.

The world is full of what ifs.
