Or she's being pressured to say it's okay to kill the controversy.
That’s probable.
Or this also might be hard to believe but she could actually be fully grown and capable of having her own agency
Yeah, might. It's good good to question it even if that's the case. Maybe next time someone will think twice about doing something similar if it's not consensual.
You realize adults can be pressured to say and do things they don't want to do...right?
Very tough, there's an obvious power dynamic.
I get the sentiment but fuck.. every time I see this type of comment it makes it seem as though women are meek powerless individuals it’s like backhanded feminism
The point is the gender doesn't matter at all. The power dynamic is the core of the problem
Okay fair enough, but stating it like that means that it’s impossible for anyone to fight against that? So once again people have no agency?
Huh? Laws are created all the time to protect against this issue but the topic clearly isn't fully solved
I get it’s still a problem I agree, my point is it shouldn’t always just be assumed this is the case that a person has no ability to fend off anyone with a larger power dynamic
Well that's kind of what the original person said and I gave another option. You don't know. I don't know. But saying they're banging because she changed what she said isnt fair either.
I don't think either of you know how powerful a moment of elation like that can be. I think she gets it because she was there, living it too. Context, as always, is everything.
We're both talking about the fact that she changed her messaging about what happened, not the original action.
