I liked the series. I thought every actor was great. I think Sienna Miller is a timeless beauty. I am a woman. However, I am struggling with the way people are blatantly referring to both scenarios as rape. I think both scenarios are quite grey. I wanted there to be a definitive “no” uttered from both women but there wasn’t. It was hard to despise James because neither women uttered “no” or “stop”. And yes, in fact, Olivia did say she said not here which to me does imply “yes, I wanna bone you but not right here in the elevator.”

I am all about believing women but if we continue to put out narratives like this as being definitive rape, we are setting ourselves up for failure. I have a son and a daughter. I want my son to know about consent just as much as I want my daughter to use her voice and state definitively when she’s not comfortable in a situation. Yell loudly, “no! Stop! Rape!” So there can be no uncertainty from anyone.

While I’m on it, and expect to be flamed, I’m also unsure why James was being carted off by police at the end. Sure running away when your friend jumps to his death could “maybe” be a crime (failure to report?) but I don’t see what the charge would be, especially 20 years later with no eyewitnesses. Same goes for the Prime Minister. Again, I wanted to hate them both. The Libertine scenes screamed of images from Kavanaugh high school and college days. I just wanted it to be more black and white.[/quote]

Disagree with you. If he didn't know it wasn't consensual, then why did he say what he said (the prosecutor questioned him on this which he denied)? It devolved into a 'he said, she said' which is sad and it's sadder that the jury didn't convict. Shows how misogynistic society still is.[/quote]

DP.  And I disagree with you and agree completely with the PP.  There is no way a jury could convict someone over a he said/she said like this - especially one which started off completely consensual.  You can't put someone in jail over a murky situation.  That's not "misogyny," that's due process.   :roll: [/quote]
