Hitting on women at conferences who have made it clear that they
don’t want to be hit on does not say, “Sex is awesome!” Making video games
where all or most of the female characters are helpless victims or
scantily-clad sexual prizes does not say, “Sex is awesome!” Getting women drunk
or high so you can have sex with them does not say, “Sex is awesome!” Treating
the idea of enthusiastic affirmative sexual consent as ridiculous does not say,
“Sex is awesome!” The exact opposite is true. All of this says, “Sex is a
minefield. Sex is a battleground.”
