I can’t read anything else because it’s a dumpster fire. Internalised misogyny is all I can come up with as an explanation. And it also appears that women are more likely to give homely-looking nice guys a pass when they do things that are creepy. I’m so over it.
I just want to run around screaming in people’s faces about how this is rape culture. This is the patriarchy.
No, it’s not a violent rape. NO ONE IS SAYING IT IS.
But what Aziz did and how he made Grace feel is basically a perfect case study of male entitlement to female bodies and the need for affirmative consent to be the norm.
And instead people are just dismissing what happened as a “oh we’ve all had bad dates”. NO. A BAD DATE IS WHEN YOU GET THE SHITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOVIE AND SPEND THE LAST HALF POOPING IN A PUBLIC BATHROOM.
THIS IS NOT A BAD DATE. THIS IS A MAN NOT CARING IF THE WOMAN HE WAS PURSING ACTUALLY WANTED TO FUCK HIM.
It seems very obvious that she wasn’t into what he was doing. And instead of letting it be, he kept pushing it. Trying to turn a “no” into a “fine, I guess”.
Also, if I hear another person say “well, why didn’t she just leave?”, I will punch them in the face, I swear to God.
