The #MeToo Moment: Navigating Sex in the ‘Gray Zone’
By Jessica bennet / New York times

A bad Sexual encounter? Or sexual harassment? Jessica projects light on an issue that is roaring. An area which is subjective and undetermined to human nature. She explains what this “grey zone” is under the ambit of MeToo movement. She states how a particular kind of sexual encounter can be viewed as sexual harassment signalling towards The Aziz Ansari’s story. A story where a woman goes out to dinner with a comedian and ends up in his apartment where she was suggested to “chill out on the couch” where Aziz sat and pointed towards his penis and mentioned her to go down on him all the while, as uncomfortable as it gets, the women didn’t know how to get out of the situation and left crying all the while where Aziz was enjoying his thoughts about consensual sexual pleasure.

This grey area is something that is persisting and impending. It’s overwhelming as well as confusing and there is no sure short answer to this dilemma neither there will be. Even unity cannot provide justice to a victim, male or female. Let’s say there is a harassment case on a corporate firm’s CEO, and the employees decide to leave the company still it wouldn’t render the company or the man who harassed in utter loss of respect, money or any other wise. A grey area always stays a grey area but it would fulfill the soul of everyvictims if they are simply understood and heard.
