I feel like if your reason for not asking women whether you can touch their genitals while they’re asleep is that too many of them will say no, you’re admitting that you’re regularly assaulting women.

I’m living in a state with a population of 40 million & several of the country’s top medical schools. Nonconsensual exams are illegal and the world still turns. How?
