If the genders were flipped here the person aggressively trying to have sex would be called a rapist… I’m not trying to have an argument about nuance, only pointing out that society defaults to a woman being a potential victim in the exact situation they would label a man a predator. The irony being if you “went along with it”, even if you did not necessarily want to, you would then be labeled the rapist. So a man on either side of this situation is a rapist if sex happens and the woman is under all circumstances the victim.

    Dems don’t want a filibuster proof majority they would figure out a way to make it just one vote shy. But they prefer to actually be one vote shy or we would be inclined that when they do nothing it is by their own choice.
