Aziz Ansari et #MeToo: a-t-on atteint une limite?

Les allégations récentes concernant l'humoriste, comédien et réalisateur font beaucoup réagir aujourd'hui. Outre le fait qu'il a une carrière intéressante, Ansari est un modèle pour beaucoup de jeunes américains de couleur. En quoi son histoire est-elle différente des autres? Parce que la victime alléguée et Ansari s'entendent sur la version des faits, mais pas sur le consentement sexuel tout au long de la relation sexuelle. Si la déclaration de la femme ne nous épargne aucun détail sur les pratiques sexuelles des deux partenaires, il semble que ce ne soit que le lendemain qu'elle se soit sentie vraiment mal et que ce ne soit pas la première fois que ça lui arrive. Loin de moi l'idée de juger ici, je me demande simplement si nous n'avons pas atteint une sorte de "limite" du mouvement de dénonciation. Je crois que ce cas force la réflexion et le dialogue. Ansari risque sa carrière, mais comment déterminer une "sanction" aussi sévère dans ce cas qui me paraît relever d'une mésentente.

 Je vous laisse des extraits et des liens vers des articles du Washington Post et The Atlantic.

 Extrait du Post: "The second approach is more compelling. It’s also more constructive. That all women have had this experience says less about whether Ansari is a good or bad guy and more about how men see sex in general, and how women see it at the same time.

We know how it happens. A man wants sex after an evening out, and a woman feels obligated to comply. Her sense of obligation only deepens if he’s polite, if he says “it’s only fun if we’re both having fun,” if he has made a career on keen insights about the same power system that renders nights like these routine. Even when she’s not enjoying herself, she thinks she should be, and she tries hard to convince herself nothing is wrong until — maybe that night, maybe the next morning — it becomes too clear to ignore."

Extrait tiré du site de The Atlantic: "Was Grace frozen, terrified, stuck? No. She tells us that she wanted something from Ansari and that she was trying to figure out how to get it. She wanted affection, kindness, attention. Perhaps she hoped to maybe even become the famous man’s girlfriend. He wasn’t interested. What she felt afterward—rejected yet another time, by yet another man—was regret. And what she and the writer who told her story created was 3,000 words of revenge porn. The clinical detail in which the story is told is intended not to validate her account as much as it is to hurt and humiliate Ansari. Together, the two women may have destroyed Ansari’s career, which is now the punishment for every kind of male sexual misconduct, from the grotesque to the disappointing."
