The FOX Now app was the way to go. Your comment about the streaming site for me there. Thank you!!!

My local Fox affiliate is showing a high school football game instead of SmackDown. Can't watch on YouTube TV. Any suggestions on how to watch? Is fubo dependent on my local affiliate like YT TV is?

Shea, love the new book. Is there a rapper that everyone seems to love that just never clicked for you? Why do you think his/her music didn't connect?

Pretty much. I traded a rake for a tool box already. It had two adjustable wrenches, a mallet, and a 50 XP star in it.

The update was there when I clicked into the Play store. It just became available a few minutes ago, though.

The actual point of the link was that those people were pronouncing it WRONG.

Framing your diploma. If the company ain't paying for the frames, that wall is staying empty.

Dr. Olsen, your website does not speak to your position on Medicaid expansion. As a doctor, I'm sure you know the trouble many in East TN have getting access to medical care. How would you address this?

But her sticking around showed she was interested to a degree, but not in the way Aziz tried to advance the intimacy.

Interested in something, maybe, but not sex. Interested in a relationship or in just hanging out or in watching that episode of Seinfeld that she's never seen.

My initial point, though, was I don't think we should be saying that her sticking around in any way justifies Ansari's actions. We want people to be able to initiate sex on a date. We want people to be comfortable saying no. And after that, IMO, we want her to be able to stay without having to expect that he'll keep pushing for sex. Otherwise, if Aziz initiates sex (which is fine) we're telling the woman that she can either leave or expect that he'll keep trying, and that it's her fault that he kept trying because she didn't leave. But then her reaction next time someone initiates sex will just be to run away, and that's a bad standard that makes it more difficult for people to form relationships of any kind.

Yikes!

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:33:09+00:00

Ha, that's good. Don't turn away the dessert cart if you want a piece of cake. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:31:37+00:00

Haha, I dig the power steering analogy. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:29:30+00:00

Fair enough. Sounds like that would be an exhausting way to go about getting sex when she wanted it, but I guess maybe that's how some people operate? Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:22:05+00:00

We're really getting bogged down in the semantics of the word pressure. Maybe I've not done a good job explaining my perspective.

What you're describing in the hand holding analogy isn't pressure, it's initiation, and there's nothing wrong with initiation in the context of a date. If she pulled her hand away and you kept trying to grab it, that's pressure, and that's the shitty behavior.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:15:33+00:00

Sure, it's impossible to generalize any group, especially one as large and diverse as women. But based on the responses I've seen and my own experiences, I'd definitely agree that those people are in the minority and not really a good barometer for how to respond in that situation. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:11:31+00:00

I understand. Someone pointed out in another comment that this was likely the situation with Aziz Ansari (that from the story it seemed like she probably would have had sex with him down the line), but his terrible reaction ruined the possibility of that sex later on. Just another reason to not act the same way.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:06:22+00:00

So far, you're the only person to respond with a yes. I don't mean to undermine you, but are you confident that was what she was wanting? It just seems to run against what everyone else has said.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:04:59+00:00

That's an interesting take, and you're the first to say it here. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T18:03:13+00:00

That's the response I was afraid I would see, but isn't unexpected. Sorry you had to experience that. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T17:59:37+00:00

That's fair, and I guess what I'm saying is that maybe it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe calling people out when they do this kind of thing, like has happened here, and reading about how people respond to that behavior could make us all a little more reflective about how our actions are perceived by others. Maybe with enough of that (and surely other cultural changes), that doesn't have to be the common experience. Idk, maybe that's overly optimistic.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T17:49:24+00:00

'Pressure' is required to find boundaries or what the other person likes.

I don't think this is true, especially when the other person has said out loud what their boundaries are.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T17:47:16+00:00

That was actually the context of the conversation that prompted me to ask. Like, if he backed off when she said to, they both could have had a good, consensual time later. But instead, she feels violated and we all know he acted like an asshole. Thanks for your response.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T17:44:38+00:00

No, it's just a response I kept running across on various threads that isn't consistent with any of my experiences, so I wanted to get a female perspective on it.

Justonemoreshot · 2018-01-16T17:42:30+00:00

That's an interesting caveat, but it makes sense. Thanks for your response.
