    If so, I must admit it, I too am a rapist.

    I'm pleased to see mainstream media opinion pieces on the likes of CNN and the NYT call this out for what it is: nonsense. Feels like a movement that has taken a step too far and overreached.

    Of course, it doesn't invalidate *everything* that has been discussed in recent times and far from it. But I'm hoping this serves as a good reference point for the maintenance of female agency and responsibility within the wider context of calling people (mostly men) to account for their unacceptable behaviour.

    It might make sense to get women to come together, and decide what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior... since there is such a huge variance in opinion and also seems to change every week. Now, there's the very obvious violent or aggressive behavior, but I've seen remarks ranging from complimenting a woman being harassment to looking in her general direction (in her opinion it being sexually related) being assault.

    Apparently, men are supposed to just know what is unacceptable behavior to every woman (Telepathically knowing of her personal opinion of what is unacceptable). It was so much simpler when courtesy/manners and common sense taught us what was unacceptable. But now, it seems like pretty much everything a man might do in the presence of a female can be considered some form of harassment, assault or abuse.

    And TBH I don't expect too many people taking any lessons from this except that men are creepy. The wider message that it was an unproven accusation will be pushed into the background.
