On One Night at Asssscat, or What to Do With a Date Rape Monologue

Overall I think it is best to not get carried away calling the guy a rapist since nobody knows for sure. I am also impressed with some of the discussion going on where people are avoiding a herd mentality and really debating what is known and what is inferred. One thing is for sure: this will not be solved on the internet. I think it is presumptuous for someone to take action based on this video to suggest he should lose his job or kill himself or anything other than be investigated. Unless this woman comes forward this is case closed. Her likely embarrassment over actually having had sex with him (if it was consensual) will keep her from exonerating him and if she was raped then the feelings associated with that coming to light in such a way that is not by her choice will possibly lead to her silence.

@Julie Gillis@facebook - I was reading your response and found it interesting that you mentioned the UCB guys feeling pressure to keep the show going and that could be the same thing either Eric or the woman could have been feeling. Eric could have been feeling that she was turning him down and he needed to keep selling himself. She could have felt like there was an expectation of sex and it was hard to turn him down. Somehow it seems easier to let it go for the UCB guys than for Eric.
