She will claim he was body shaming her for being too fat so trying to get her to throw up her dinner.

Women would need to register, maybe carry a card for ID. Men could ask for ID, no ID, no date.

Here is a similar Poor Me story about actresses working with James Franco. Sorry, these women were not held hostage.

Er, that's what usually happens on a date. It's up to the woman to set boundaries. She said she gave him verbal and nonverbal cues. I'm going out on a limb here and maybe I am very unusual as a woman for saying that if I had been in her shoes I WOULD HAVE LEFT. That is the best nonverbal cue, lady!

If you aren't a mature woman, don't date! Stay at home with your girlfriends and knit pink pussyhats. More men for the rest of us!

Oh, goody! Another well informed, thought provoking story from the tabloid gang.

You need to get out more, my dear. If a man keeps trying to force you to have sex with him, then the guy is a sorry loser whose behavior should be condemned. Believe it or not, a guy can sometimes do a very good act of fooling a woman. He'll be all polite and well mannered when others are around, but god help the woman he manages to get alone with. A woman who gets cornered by one of these jerks is not at fault unless she accepts a second date with one of these characters.

My radar is generally pretty good, and I don't spend dates fighting off the guy for the entire evening. Unfortunately, thugs will be thugs and any woman over the age of fourteen who has an active dating life will encounter one (or two or three) sooner or later. Like the guy who was actually my supervisor when I had a job taking care of indoor plants for clients like banks with atrium's in their lobbies or law firms which decorated their offices with plants that looked like they'd just been plucked straight from the Amazon. These clients didn't want the "plant lady" traipsing around with buckets of water and aphid spray during regular business hours, so we'd go in between 5 pm and midnight when no one was around. My boss would always show up late in the evening to "check" on the plants in my accounts. My plants were fine, but he wasn't. After I turned him down for a date, he made my existence hellish. Nothing like being trapped in an empty office at 11:00 pm with a Romeo who wouldn't take "no" for an answer and was twice my size.

I suppose little Ms. Self Righteous here would condemn me for that situation, but that's YOUR problem. Me, I told my boy friend at the time what was going on, and he started coming along on my routes with me to "help" me move the heavier plants around. Worked like a charm. I suppose you'd say that my BF was being sympathetic for my poor choice of trying to work my way through college.

At any rate, I'm glad that you and your friends will date guys who make the entire evening one long drama where they repeatedly try to force themselves on you. That means more guys who are actually interested in a woman as a person and not merely a sex object for ME to date. Have fun with your loser men.

Just because it usually does happen on a date doesn't mean it's always OK for it to happen. Consent. As for setting boundaries, she did give him verbal and non-verbal cues. That sounds like boundary-setting to me. Also, just because she might have had poor judgment in this matter does not mean she deserved it. Maybe her experience is that most men are more socially clued in and/or more gentlemanly and she wanted to give him a chance. At any rate, saying she should have set boundaries is like saying that someone too weak to defend themselves deserves whatever harassment they get.

As for if a mature woman, don't date. I don't know how many dates she and he went on, but that's irrelevant. The only relevancy is that she didn't want sex, she gave verbal as well as nonverbal cues she didn't want to have it. Yet he continued to push past her boundaries anyway. Rather than put responsibility on the weak or less-dominant party to set boundaries, it's actually the responsibility of the strong and dominant party to be more self-critical of their own thought process - namely if their thought process respects the dignity of others.

Why did she go to his apartment on a first date then? Is she that stupid? We have to get to him performing oral before we decide we don't want to continue? Made her uncomfortable? At some point women have to be responsible for their actions and choices as well as men being more cognizant of their actions. Real bad sh*t happens to women all the time.

Many people want sympathy for their poor choices.

You are a liberal and you said you try to only have male engineers on your team? Think about this...

Back when Obama was prez and liberals screamed racism at the drop of the hat someone said that it could cause employers not to hire blacks because they could be accused of racism for any reason even though innocent, liberals bounced off the wall. And now here you are saying you try to hire only male engineers because you're afraid you'll be accused of sexual misconduct when you're innocent.
