#MeToo Backlash | January 17, 2018 Act 1 | Full Frontal on TBS

“Here’s the number of people who are putting rape and harassment and bad dates in one bucket: literally nobody is saying they’re the same!”

“What many fail to understand is that it doesn’t have to be rape to ruin your life, and it doesn’t have to ruin your life to be worth speaking out about. “Any kind of sexual harassment or coercion is unacceptable. So what the fuck are women supposed to do to protect ourselves? If we go public with a story, we’re petty crybabies hell-bent on destroying men’s careers. If we write a secret list to protect each other, we’re gossipy shrews telling lies in the shadows. What men literally cannot understand is, this isn’t about them!”

“A lot of people are worried about Aziz’s career—which no one is trying to end, because again, we know the difference between a rapist, a workplace harasser, and an Aziz Ansari. That doesn’t mean we have to be happy about any of them.”

“People like me had to wade through a sea of prehensile dicks to build the world we now enjoy, and part of enjoying that world is setting a higher standard for sex than just ‘not rape,’ and women get to talk about it if men don’t live up to those standards, especially if a man wrote a book about how to sex good.”

“I’m sorry that anyone ever thought the contents of that list or any of the ways we protect ourselves from men were your goddamn business. “I’m sorry you thought you got to choose what experiences we can share, or how we react to the shitty ways we’ve been treated. And to men specifically, I’m sorry our request to be respected makes office culture a little less fun and flirty. And I’m sorry we tattled about that stuff you did on us, even when it was totally not rape. But listen: if you don’t want to tune into your partner’s feelings throughout sex, maybe you shouldn’t be fucking a person at all. May I suggest a coin purse, or a Ziploc bag full of grape jelly?

“If you say you’re a feminist, then fuck like a feminist. And if you don’t want to do that, take off your fucking pin, because we are not your accessories.”
