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.
