    I'm Team Aziz and Team Ashleigh here. It was a bad date, NOT #METOO.

    • @ih8ppunk
      @ih8ppunk 6 лет назад +11

      maeflower522 But that's not what Ashleigh is saying. She completely disapproves of Aziz's actions, she just thinks the way it was reported was really sloppy.

    • @ysal6570

      what was wrong with azizs action, he took a woman home?

    • @ih8ppunk
      @ih8ppunk 6 лет назад +15

      To be honest I'm still thinking about it, the lines are very blurry. Again, something that could've been clarified by coherent, articulate reporting. One thing is for sure, he does not deserve to have his career ruined because of this.

    • @rhomo
      @rhomo 6 лет назад +6

      Don't get me wrong - I believe in and support the me too movement and I take it VERY seriously. Which is why I think we need very clear definitions of what is miscommunication and what is assault. HUGE difference. As a woman who has raised two very respectful young men who want to honor women and never cross a boundary line, I want those lines to be very clear for them, so that there is NO question about what the women they date will or will not be okay with. Non-verbal communication is BS. Say NO, mean it, and LEAVE the situation if you don't like what's happening.

    • @bernman23
      @bernman23 6 лет назад +8

      I love that Megyn Kelly was trying to identify with her at the end. Beyond being anchors and having vaginas, they are nothing alike. Banfield has integrity, empathy, and courage having spoke out against the Iraq War to jeopardize her job, and here she's going against the grain too. Megyn Kelly is a sellout to the corporate agenda and a narcissist.

    Why doesn't Grace release all of the text messages from the week prior to the date? How do we know she wasn't sexting him and saying that she wanted him to 'take control' or be aggressive? She shared his actions but not hers. She needs to come clean.

    • @kenyafromcali
      @kenyafromcali 6 лет назад +9

      Yeah, I was really lost when Megan keep alluding to her saying “no” repeatedly. Umm where and when? Also, a man putting his fingers in your mouth is not an unusual sexual move. There’s a purpose to it. She was acting beyond clueless. The Grace lady never used to word “shoving down my throat”, she said he kept stinking his fingers in her mouth and then to her woohoo, as she sat on the counter legs open. Megan was fox newsing the story up!

  • @jasprerph

    I am so moved by Megyn Kelly in this interview - she disagreed with some of Ashleigh's points in a respectful and diplomatic way so rarely seen on TV these days. I also love that she thanked Ashleigh for inspiring her and giving her the resolve to start her career. We need more people like this in the world right now.

    • @bonanimathambo8721
      @bonanimathambo8721 6 лет назад +3

      That's because Megyn is not a leftist (which almost all media is) so she can respect that people have different opinions and can discuss it without resorting to ad hominem attacks.

    • @graceyourself405

      I am not sure if Megyn truly disagree with Ashleigh as much as she appeared to be (a little bit for sure, but maybe not as much). It is part of a journalist's job to challenge the interviewee. It would be, otherwise, a horrible interview if Megyn agreed 100% of what Ashleigh said -- thus no counterpoint.

    • @maazkalim
      @maazkalim 5 лет назад

      Politico-ideologically: Sure.
      But on this topic: Heck no!
      It benefits Kelly's( no salutation!) Conservatism to defend cismale, which is imperative in this case. Although, not so much because he ain't no straight white cismale.
      That's why there are lapses in her factual-accuracy.
      And vice-versa with Ms Banfield.

  • @Succeshero-yw1rl
    @Succeshero-yw1rl 6 лет назад +4

    Megyn imo owned this conversation. She pointed out that Grace didnt mention the me too movement but just said aziz is a hypocrite for treating her badly on a sexual level and saying he’s a feminist.
    Megyn really got it.

    • @maazkalim
      @maazkalim 5 лет назад

      Bwahahahahaha, no!
      In fact, her calling the cesspit with “dotcom” suffix was in itself a tell-tale sign that FOX® News genes* in her are still very active.
      First of all, the guest successfully countered her point by saying that in this day-&-age of 'Bumbling Tinder', rules and understanding are different than was the case when they were young[ and even, MUCH of the famous Feminist literature was published].
      Besides, Nierman( part of the accuser's real-life name) did actually wrapped it under "#MeToo". One doesn't have to be spelling out everything, there are ‘non-explicit verbal cues’ as well. And above all: She wasn't mudslinging him for the first-time! She in fact did it _via_ her attention-seeking tweet few months earlier from the story by mentioning his account/"handle" in her tweet with the hashtag "#metoo[ _sic_ ]".
      *What else you got?*

  • @tarac133
    @tarac133 6 лет назад +39

    Grace, you're so lucky that you don't know what assault is. And Megyn, it sounds like you don't understand how things work on dates today. I'm disappointed in this story receiving attention. I believe we're damaging the movement and creating an environment where men can't win either. Let's focus on those people who have broken the law and go after them with the law.

    I would love to have a conversation about “strong women” who “were not strong enough to walk out,” as Megyn put it, and I would suggest if they are not strong enough to walk out of a situation like Grace described, specifically as Grace described, then that was never a strong woman to begin with.

    • @sarahpenna262
      @sarahpenna262 6 лет назад +2

    • @Tentacle19
      @Tentacle19 6 лет назад +4

      Sarah Penna If you disagree then explain why or how. Otherwise, just know no one knows even what your point is, other than a lame attempt to insult. If you had an experience similar to Grace’s, I understand why you would be angry at yourself. Privileged women who have become reliant on people anticipating & meeting their needs may be why this young immature woman is now learning she needs to take responsibility for her own well being. A tough lesson, but certainly not a situation of sexual misconduct. I could not be more pleased that we are finally having this conversation in our culture so that women like you can consider realities beyond your own. If you disagree, I would be interested in why, if you are able to respond in a mature and thoughtful way. Otherwise, grow up.

    • @sarahpenna262
      @sarahpenna262 6 лет назад

      Tentacle19 If you need me to decipher all the articles, interviews, debates that have been airing since October last year ( & which have been covered up for decades, decades & decades) then it proves you are most definitely not " HEARING" . There are indeed hundreds of very strong women who , despite being been brave and courageous, have still experienced insidious backlash and abuse ( loss of careers, just to mention one etc ) And they are the strong ones ..... Let's not even get started on the voiceless most vulnerable in society ( cleaners, waitresses, basic wage employees ) trying to raise a family etc . Your simplistic whitewashing of selecting this ambiguous Grace case does prove to me that you are NOT hearing the core issue at stake . I am a v strong woman but I also recognise that , for a plethora of reasons , not all women can use their voice to ensure a just outcome . Even the cases that DO get to court are subjected to a litigious system that is inherently patriarchal and weighted in favour of the richest ( eg Cosby ) . Maybe 'strong' women have had enough and are reclaiming a bit of vigilante balance . And like any revolution & pendulum in history it picks up shades of grey .

    • @sarahpenna262
      @sarahpenna262 6 лет назад

      Tentacle19 Because by going down this rabbit hole of semantics ( & 'tentacles' ) by citing very specific 'individual ' cases you only serve to muddy the waters of the all important bigger picture . I think Megyn did a v professional job of differentiating without losing sight of the big issue . You only need to scan the comments to see how many stone throwers & misogynists there are , ALWAYS poised & ready to cast shadow on the growing movement . Backlash 101 is always alive & kicking when it comes to women's issues and comments like 'strong women ' invites excuses to perpetually smudge the boundaries

    • @Tentacle19
      @Tentacle19 6 лет назад +2

      Sarah Penna Megan said her guest had a good point, so in the end she agreed with what I and her guest said and will continue to say. And if you had any point it’s clear as mud. All I can see is that you are the “whitewasher” if you are still insisting Grace’s immature sexual experience was a result of misconduct. You mention a bigger picture, but don’t clearly say what that picture is and instead refer to other comments rather state your own.

    @MintyCanRead 6 лет назад +8

    "Have a conversation" about whatever you want, but only mention names if that person has been found to be guilty. I'm really uncomfortable with the current "guilty until proven innocent" stance that everyone's taking. Even with Harvey Weinstein, was he actually charged before his name was splashed across every headline? It just irritates me that everything I thought I knew about the justice system is apparently not the case. You can accuse anyone publicly of anything without any proof to back up your claim. What's to stop me from telling a third-rate reporter that I was harassed by Chris Hemsworth?

    Is it just me who observed that Megyn Kelly already had her opinion made up before listening to Ashleigh Banfield. Megyn not only didn't listened to Ashleigh but was OVER AGGRESSIVE in not letting Ashleigh speak and even MORE AGGRESSIVE in shoving her own opinions down Ashleigh's throat. The icing on this manipulated conversation cake was Magyn out of nowhere complementing Ashleigh that was totally irrelevant to the topic.

    If you feel you’ve been assaulted, report it.
    If you feel you’ve been violated, say so.
    Victims of abuse often under react and then over react, and it’s because they don’t listen to their gut feelings- they’ve never learned it but it’s part of being an adult to learn it!
    Some people also don’t read social cues well, and sadly need you to be very direct about boundaries. I hope this helps someone out there.

      Myentertainment Troy The most confusing people I've known are men.. we're all confusing, equality! That being said, I've made complaints for years that women are too passive (as a whole) because they are expected to be, but that this perpetuates an unhealthy culture. I get harassed REGULARLY by dudes I don't know. First thing I think is that they probably think it's perfectly OK. That assumption is primarily based on their particular response to accountability tho, and I really try not to lump all men together. I've seen dude friends harassed by women in the same way, but somehow it's more acceptable. Idk. Really I guess my point is people are people, and I don't want to lump large groups together to fight against one another. I don't think that helps anyone, but seems to be what happens more often than not. And I think people as a whole are confusing. But I think it's good that everyone is having this conversation, however frustrating and blurred the lines may be.

    • @menoftomorrowchannel
      @menoftomorrowchannel 6 лет назад

      Equality means you gain and you suffer lose equally. Women want the gains, which is understandable, but they do not want the losses that comes along with it. When you desire power, there is the good side of that and the bad, but women only see the good side of it. One day they will get the power they seek, but it will not be what they think. Martha Stewart tasted a bit of that when she went to jail. As far as men being confusing, we do have our days when we do things that do not make sense, but usually it's straight forward, but women can do and say almost anything and the world will back her up. When we invite you to our apartment at night after drinks, we think that is being straight forward to the point, but as we can see now, that is not the case.

  • @BrendenFP
    @BrendenFP 6 лет назад +19

    Everyone's experience of reality is subjective. Memories are formed in the context of hormones, including adrenaline and cortisone, which are themselves released without our executive control. As neurology has found, we now know that memories are also altered each time we access them. Every time you remember your experience of an event, it's recreated from incomplete information, and then re-remembered as that recreation.
    But we're supposed to just take one person's account as the objective truth of the matter? That's what third-wave feminists want. In the court of public opinion as well as in the court of law. I'm sorry, but NO. That's now how this works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS.

    • @D_SQ
      @D_SQ 6 лет назад

      Devil's advocate: Does any of what you said apply with all the obscure accusations meted out against say Harvey Weinstein? Because they seem awfully similar. Harvey in his mind was 'making moves' with these women and to him it all seemed perfectly fine.

    • @BrendenFP
      @BrendenFP 6 лет назад +1

      Davies Sidney It obviously does apply, to all human experience. The issue with Weinstein is that he was in a position of economic power over the people. So even if you assume that some of the encounters are a bit exaggerated, the less exaggerated version is still incredibly unethical and wrong.

    • @D_SQ
      @D_SQ 6 лет назад

      First literally any girl in Hollywood is an aspiring actress so basically the employment-power dynamic with Harvey could apply in any possible instance with any girl he could have spoken to. Because say you are on a date and you are Harvey, can you realistically avoid that subject that you are a successful guy, or are you going to leverage that to endear yourself to your date? Especially since he is not the greatest looking guy. It's literally all we do as guys. It's required even by girls. You will be asked what you do on a date. And you will say something that hopefully picks your date's interest. Like Harvey, Aziz in this case has economic power. Let's cut the BS. He probably talked about his success in comedy and his books. My point is some people will take the offer to 'sell their souls' and some will buck it. And that is how it's been and is supposed to be.
      I just find it cheap that adults (most of whom from these claims seemingly agreed to 'sell their souls'), after reaping the benefits of making a deal with the devil, all of a sudden want to claim that they do not have the same psychological footing as other adults with whom they engage in sexual activity. If you are not physically incapacitated at the time sexual activity takes place, the onus should rest on you as an adult.

    Whether we agree with the Aziz Ansari being bad or good or just normal; whether we agree politically or not with Megyn or Alshleigh, one thing is irrefutable: This is what journalists look like and this is what a conversation between reputable journalists looks like. I'm all for independent organizations getting more clicks and recognition than big organizations that are often either biased or controlled by powerful agents, but at least these independent organizations should be held accountable for what they publish and how they publish and the way that they can shape conversations. we live in a world where whether you write for Babe or New York Times you can have a huge impact on the conversation, and that is why it is important, especially for smaller independent publications to follow ethical guidelines when they publish. The Babe publication and the writer Katie whatsherface, were extrememly provocative, extremely careless with condemning a man without evidence on the public court, and extremely rude to a fellow, much more senior and experienced journalist. That email that she wrote about Ashleigh, her makeup and her hair, is disgusting. The way Megyn and Ashleigh are interacting here, even though they may disagree on some points, that's how reputable journalists act like. (And I can't believe I'm actually defending Megyn Kelly, but in this case at least she was all class

    as a woman I feel for "Grace" but also feel its in and of the least partially her fault. If she was truly so uncomfortable why didn't she put her clothes back on and leave sooner. Or say "NO" louder, verbally right away. If her "story" is to be believed in its entirety as she told it. I'm not saying shes lying or excusing Ansari's behavior, if he was, as aggressive as she said, then that's dispicable. But it doesn't sound like she was being held against her will to me. And the whole thing about the wine "she wanted red but she wanted white" that really bothered me.
