He has the tone of a guy trying to pull a political Uno-reverse gotcha... but I can't actually tell what the fuck he's trying to draw an allusion to?
Like, is this supposed to be an equivalent of "woman decides she doesn't want sex, persuing it anyway is sexual assault"? Is that supposed to be similar in any way? Is it supposed to be... something about Trans people? Somehow? I'm just not sure what he's even going for...
There was a thing a while ago about how men who lied about who they were to get laid, namely pick-up artists, were committing sexual assault. The manosphere responded with stuff like this, suggesting that women who wore make-up, spanx and padded bras were also committing assault.
Oh! Okay that seems like a much tighter connection.
And, like, I don't agree with the manosphere 99% of the time... but in this case sleeping with a person who said they were a CEO or whatever but actually they drive Uber doesn't sound like sexual assault to me, so maybe this broken clock was right today. It feels like maybe one thing a bad person said in a TikTok once and just blew up as rage bait.
I mean, don't lie about condoms or vasectomies or sexual health obviously, but other things don't seem sexually relevant to me.
TIL thanks.
"Trans women refusing to disclose is sexual assault" is something these idiots obsess about and say so yeah probably.
