Aziz, We Tried to Warn You
NY Times ^ | January 17, 2018 | Lindy West

In 1975, 42 years before the comedian Aziz Ansari reportedly brought a date home to his apartment and repeatedly tried to initiate sex with her after she told him “next time” and “I don’t want to feel forced,” Susan Brownmiller published “Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape.”

“All rape is an exercise in power,” Brownmiller wrote in 1975, “but some rapists have an edge that is more than physical.” Sometimes, the 1975 text suggests, rapists “operate within an emotional setting or within a dependent relationship that provides a hierarchical, authoritarian structure of its own that weakens a victim’s resistance, distorts her perspective and confounds her will.” “Against Our Will” has been available in American libraries since its publication, which was in 1975.

This Feminazi is saying Aziz is a rapist because he did not get the so-called affirmative consent to perform sex acts from he women he was trying to bed.

I did not read the article: but if that is the case, the Feminazi is right.

First I am hearing about the “Next time.” If that is the case and Aziz continued to pursue having sex with her, then he got what he deserved.

A woman said a state senator in Albany kissed her outside a bar in 2015 without her permission. You should see her Facebook page; she acts she suffered in the holocaust.

But, when the most powerful man in the free world told an intern the age of his daughter that he intended to shove a cigar up her vagina, the same feminists told us it was consensual and no business of anybody else.

Even women are coming down hard on the woman. They are saying she is complaining about what, in essence, was a “bad date”.

And the youtube videos are brutal.

This was feminism’s Bridge Too Far.

If you actually follow the story, this one is not going well for the woman’s story. Check out the youtube videos and articles. It’s pretty interesting. They are laughing at her. As well they should.

God, we need her to take center stage right now. She was born for this.

Well, don’t read the article. It’s gross.

There’s been lots of excellent commentary on this matter, ranging from Heather McDonald (atheist) to David French (yes, yes, I know but his stuff on this is good).

Bottom line for me. Do a Lewinski voluntarily because the situation is awkward - no complaining after the fact.

The lady in question went to Aziz’s apartment, undressed, and and engaged in multiple mutual intimate oral activities. When she did not agree to go all the way, he did not compel her to, and she left.
Modern version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (or whatever the title of that song is). If you’re sorta saying “no” in an unconvincing manner while sucking his ****, he’ll understandably wait for you to make up your mind.

The Left is learning, the hard way now, what the Right learned long ago and learned to not easily dismiss.

She’s the only one to push back against the feminist lie that all rape is about power not sex.

I’m sure he wasn’t encouraged to continue after she gave him two Lewinskys.

It seems as if prominent feminist writers are on the verge of discovering that behavior unworthy of human beings does not make people happy, even if they “consent.” If they simply accepted this, they would not have to twist themselves around with novel definitions. They could just say, “Of course, debasing yourself makes you unhappy. Stop doing it!”

He said, she said, and they both despise each other afterwards. All this lubricious hithering and thithering, to-and-froing, slip-slidin' ambiguity makes for shame and blame every time.

Men and women who do this, mate without mating, and make love without love. It isn't pro-sex. It isn't even user-friendly.

Wanna mate, get married.

There, I said it.
