This is sort of the analysis I've been waiting for, about how when sex is not consensual, sexual cultural norms are irrelevant. There was also an excerpt that made me think of RM:
Could it be that offensiveness is relative to the perspective of the recipient, based on her own cultural sensibilities? More troubling, could it be that our very experience of an encounter might be significantly affected by our background, upbringing, culture, ethnicity, in short, by what Michel Foucault called our discourse?Could it be that RM really found nothing inappropriate about a foot massage? Thinking about the whole experience, I'm still inconclusive, erring on the side of not really, as to whether there was an inappropriate sexual aspect to his creepiness, but I'm even more adamant this his behavior was generally inappropriate, that there was nothing innocent or subjective about it. If he respected me, he wouldn't have done it.
