Consent in an imbalanced power dynamic is not always recognized as consent.
Sure, the girls that Louis CK jerked off in front of didn’t scream and run out of the room, but they WERE placed in an inappropriate situation with someone who held the keys to their career. And what did we as a society do? We lambasted him for being weird and not understanding that dynamic, and his career has yet to really recover. He didn’t rape anybody, no, but he sure did abuse his power over those people. Are these similar situations, in your opinion?

The women with Louis CK said it was not consensual. Monica said she didn’t understand how inappropriate it was, but it was consensual. That is the difference here.
To the benefit of absolutely fucking nobody; especially Monica.
Like not only did you guys embarrass yourself on the national stage, give fuel to the right wing media apparatus, subject Monica to a life of infamy, undermine the progress of your own administration; you guys accomplished fuck all for real victims of sexual violence … or else why would you be bringing up Louis CK?
