These are truly the words of a wiseman. What you described is not always considered a consensual situation though.

You['re as big of a problem for letting it happen as the person doing it.

And this is where we get back into disgusting victim blaming. Nice.

If both are not pushing away from it, you can't play victim.

If you're not pushing away but you've still made it clear that you don't want it, then you can be a victim of rape, objectively. No playing.

i think Ki is more so touching on the Lena Dunham-esque rape experiences. when sexual intercourse is consensual but when regretting it the next morning it suddenly becomes rape. albeit these cases are far less frequent than the right-wing media sources imply.

The right thinks the sky is falling? No, I absolutely will not believe that.

right, yeah just because it's exaggerated doesn't make it a non-issue. a clear understanding of what consensual and non-consensual sex should be common knowledge for everyone.

it seems that whenever the topic comes up you either have conservatives who believe every woman to ever claim rape is a liar and people on the other side who will always side with the accuser. the reality is that both sides happen (albeit one much more than the other, that we can all agree on im sure) and it's clear that we need to have a better understanding as a society of what exactly constitutes sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment etc.

there's nothing wrong with what Ki said, although he could have certainly worded it better. you were just looking to start an argument to make him look like some sort of victim blamer.
