A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. (streamain.com)

Don't excuse this guy's behavior. He set up a deliberate situation in order to make her uncomfortable. That is sexual assault.

Also, she didn't "go into" his house. He was visible from well outside the door. Which is viewable from public areas. Which is a crime.

"Making her uncomfortable" is not sexual assault. Where, exactly, is the assault? Saying shit like this cheapens and trivializes actual sexual assaults and the impact those words have on society.

If I go out naked under a trench coat and flash someone that is sexual assault. I'm getting off on the power of being able to expose myself to them without their consent.

This man lured this woman in for the same reason.

And if I'm asleep in the buff on my couch and you come over to look at my junk, you're the pervert, not me. Screaming "sexual assault" like some kind of catch all for your own fuckups is not a magic spell that will make everything better. All you are doing is actively hurting the credibility of people who actually experience sexual assault. Read the material.

Me inviting my friends over and being ass naked when they showed up would be very upsetting to them. Me claiming "It's my own home!" doesn't fly. It smells like I'm crafting a scenario where I can expose myself while claiming innocence.

This guy ordered food, asked for a handoff and then left his door open to lure her in so he could expose himself to her.

The only reason you're giving this guy so much slack is because, and you actually do have this tagged with your username on my lemmy app, you are a misogynist.
