So @furiousradfem blocked me and I can’t reblog that great takedown of their post, but I still want to highlight a point that they made.
“a man ignores clear signs of discomfort, fear, pain and psychological damage during sex? rapist.”
This here? Utter bullshit. It is ridiculous to expect men to be able to magically sense when you are uncomfortable during sex. Maybe the average guy can tell from body language/facial expressions, but not all can. Case in point, my fiance. He is autistic and is not good at reading people’s emotions. He can’t tell when I’m being sarcastic and I’ve had to learn to not make certain jokes around him or he’ll think I’m legitimately mad. He absolutely would not be able to tell that I’m uncomfortable with something if I don’t tell him. People need to stop expecting men to automatically read a woman’s mind and know what she is and is not okay with during sex. It’s called communication. Fucking do it already and stop claiming men are rapists because you couldn’t be bothered to open your mouth and say no.
