"No" was just annoying.

Dropped it when it got to the real life recorded s*x scene (which I don't think *I* consented to). Not every woman is a good advocate. Yes, the men are scumbags but at some point you are willfully putting yourself in their path.

Excellent podcast! Well done story telling and an absolute mind f**k. It's unfortunate and crazy that it's a true story. I recommend it.
