Imagine a white guy claims a black guy robbed him. Upon further investigation we find out the white guy repeatedly went to the black guys crib and finally agreed to place a wager on a dice game, losing the wad of cash he had been waving under the black man's nose all evening. Additional y, the white guys social media is full of content indicating that he really, really likes to gamble.
Of course he had to bet all his money. You see, the intimidating black guy kept pawing at his wad of cash and indicated repeatedly that he would like to have the wad of cash and kept suggesting a dice game. Awkward. He could have left at any time but the black guy had suggested maybe they could take a trip to Vegas sometime in the future.
The last thing we should do is place any responsibility on the white guy for his own actions because some other white men who kept their money hidden in a wallet were violently mugged by some different black men. You see, robbery is such a horrible thing that we shouldn't treat different people in different situations differently because it might make some robbery victims feel bad.
So she gets to tell her side of the story to her followers (in English!) and Alex doesn’t have a chance to even give his side of the story? I don’t understand why this generation feels the need to air all the their dirty laundry.
I suspect that has to do with getting eyeballs on social media, but I find even more interesting that "her side of the story" doesn't make her look at that great.
From the way you described the encounter, I can't see the case for a rape charge, John. The young woman had several chances to end the "date" and didn't. (Was Alex Pereira stopping her from leaving? Was there pressure--beyond the "pawing"--to continue the date?) In fact, she seemed to be accepting his pleas to join him in bed, for crying out loud! With the scenario you present, and in my opinion, it looks like it boils down to two wanton people engaging in foreplay and coitus.
Yes, I agree -- and pretty much everything in there is just the boiled down description of her 3 videos. Pretty clearly she could have left anytime she wanted and given that she had successfully shut him down all night, it seems pretty clear that they only reason they had sex is she decided to allow it to go forward.
dangerous things I’ve ever read. You clearly need a serious lesson in CONSENT. Implying that someone’s presence in a room or their behavior justifies or invites sexual assault is beyond irresponsible. It is victim blaming at its worst. Consent must be clear, enthusiastic, and ongoing. It is never assumed because someone didn’t leave fast enough or because a man was trying to touch them for 30 minutes. You’re perpetuating rape culture and excusing predatory behavior under the guise of asking reasonable questions. It’s harmful, ignorant, and honestly horrifying.
