Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

If the reckless behavior you are engaging in is physical contact with another person without their permission, then the risk you are running is assault charges.

 

At what point was his consent coerced?

 

We can ask the women involved if they liked it. We have a lot of them on the record that they didn't.

 

Correct.

 

There was no consent. I was using your checklist: Consent must be:

(1) Affirmative;
(2) Enthusiastic;
(3) Uncoerced.

He didn't consent at all, either affirmatively or enthusiastically. So obviously consent was not uncoerced, because there was no consent. I included it in the interested of completeness.

 

But what if they did?

 

That's like asking "what if I make a habit of walking into businesses and pulling money out of the cash registers, is it possible that it wasn't stealing because every single owner actually wanted you to have the money?"

It's a nonsense question that doesn't exist to clarify reality, only to create space for argument.

 

That's a checklist for how you know if you have consent.

 

And now can you please answer the question.

 

I know.

She didn't have consent. Consent wasn't affirmative. It wasn't enthusiastic (because there was no consent). And consent wasn't uncoerced (again, because there was no consent).

Why wasn't it a sexual assault?

 

I won't because the question is invalid.

 

I don't think you're nearly as enlightened as you make yourself out to be. In fact, I'm pretty sure you're eons away.

And the fact that you can't laugh at a little levity on this thread shows that YOU have the fucking problem, honey.
