Bill Cosby has plans to teach you how to avoid being accused of sexual assault.
Cosby’s spokespeople, Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson, told “Good Day Alabama” Wednesday the comedian is planning a series of town halls this summer to educate young people about sexual assault.
More specifically, they say he’s planning on teaching ‘em how to look out for warning signs from potential victims and accusations that could follow.

I really don’t even have much to say. Bill Cosby is actually dead to me now. Before, he was just a creepy rapist and I guess I’m so used to that particular kind of Scum of the Earth that I had the luxury of just putting him out of my mind. I just don’t think about Bill Cosby. He assaulted a bunch of women, admitted under oath that he has drugged women and that he had women procured for him, and an embarrassing percentage of the Black community still acts like it’s a witch hunt against a rich Black man. I stopped having the energy for that fight. They’re like Trump voters to me – you exist, you’re set in your ways, and there’s nothing I can do to change your mind, so just stay away from me with your ignorance.
But this is an extra step further. He wants to have town halls to help young people stay out of situations where they could be accused of sexual assault? What’s that Outline like?
I. Don’t Drug Women A. Don’t buy date rape drugs. B. If you buy date rape drugs, don’t put them in women’s drinks. C. If you put them in women’s drinks, see section III. II. Don’t Assault Women A. Don’t use your power, influence, or drugs to coerce women into sex. B. Don’t engage in sexual activity with a woman who says no. C. Don’t engage in sexual activity with a woman who is incapable of saying no because you drugged them. D. If you do engage, see section III. III. Convince Your Victims Not To Tell A. Intimidate them into silence. 1. Use your power and connections 2. Tell them no one will believe them anyway. B. Pay them off.
What else could Bill Cosby possibly have to say on the subject? What level of garbage do you have to be? He just needs to disappear for the rest of his life, not make the rounds to give lectures on a hypothetical that isn’t a problem. There’s no movement among women to just go around falsely accusing men of assault, so to give lectures on how to avoid it implicates a trend that doesn’t exist. He is even more disgusting to me and so is anyone who goes to hear him speak.
If anyone you know wants Bill Cosby to teach them how to avoid being accused of sexual assault, they’ve either raped someone or plan to. What they really want is a way to rationalize what they did as not being “real” rape. What they really need is a lesson on consent, not a advice from an abuser who won’t face what he did.
This….is something fucking else.
