If you read my example, it was intentionally vague. A camping trip 26 years ago where something sorta sexual might have happened that made her uncomfortable.

Is that example something specific that has come up in a recent allegation?

If not, then the implication is that it's a representative example of the kinds of situations that have been brought up in these allegations.

You can't just provide an example and say "see, this is bad" if that example has nothing to do with anything that's actually happening. It's disingenuous at best, if not intentionally manipulative.

Sometimes people just do things and accidentally cross lines or get misinterpreted or it's funny at first, consensual, and then maybe something changes that all of a sudden.

And then the correct course of action is to stop doing that thing. Consent isn't that difficult of a concept.

The #MeToo movement wants to convince everyone in the world that if a woman is so much as 'unsettled' by a man's behavior.....it's RAPE. That's not how reality works. Sorry.

Talk about putting words in someone's mouth...

It's gotten to the point where if a man whistles at an attractive woman on the street, that is somehow "toxic" and "damaging" and "emotionally scarring", etc.

Welp, I'd definitely call it toxic pretty much always, and could see it being damaging and emotionally scarring, depending on the circumstances.

To be honest, I'm not sure defending cat calling and wolf whistling is the right strategy here.

I was once pretty tipsy....and this girl kissed me. Was I raped?

Raped? I'm not sure of a definition of rape that would cover that specifically, but I'm also not an expert.

Now, were you assaulted? If you were unable to give consent? Yeah probably.

I've seen guys literally walk up to women at bars and tell them how bangable they look. Some women laugh. Some women love that kinda shit. That confidence. That don't-give-a-damn attitude. And some women go home and blog about how they were sexually assaulted.

Yeah, gonna say it's probably not the best idea to walk up to random people and call them bangable either.
