Masha Gessen: Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Against Glenn Thrush Amounts to Several Bad Dates

EXCERPT:

GESSEN: "So I think that there’s something that happens when we talk about sex, which is that — and certainly when we’ve been talking the last few weeks about sex, is we’ve started lumping everything together. And basically the line between rape and bad sex has begun to sort of blur. And when we’re talking about actual rape, actual abuse of power, actual systematic stuff that’s one thing; when we’re talking about somebody like, you know Glenn Thrush the 'The New York Times' reporter who was just suspended on allegations of sexual misconduct from the one piece that has been published so far, in 'Vox' basically appears to amount to several bad dates. That is too far on that spectrum."
