So the issue here is not with the sentiment, but the fact that the slogan “no doesn’t mean no” is _very_clearly_ a play on the anti-rape slogan “no means no”. I get being against over-sensitivity, but mocking an anti-rape slogan to invert the meaning could make victims of sexual assault really uncomfortable.
Edit: literally the entire first page of google results for “no doesn’t mean no” are anti-rape articles. This is seems like a pretty black and white issue.
- nwbrown 8y agoGoogle results are personalized so your first page is likely different from other people's. To be honest I would probably have to have been there to know for certain whether he was making a joke referencing rape or just making a more innocent comment. That being said, tech recruiters as a rule are trash and bugging people about a job after they have refused is a pretty jackass thing to do anyway. So I'm fine not giving him the benefit of the doubt.
- iron0013 8y agoIt's easy enough to google it yourself if you think "no means no" being related to rape is just a figment of google's algorithm that appears for some people and not others. What was returned when you googled it for yourself?
