This has to be a high water mark in the "me too" movement, at least so far. From NYPost.com: BDSM community angry at Schneiderman’s ‘role-playing’ depiction. Here's a quote:
Ej Dickson, an editor with MensHealth.com who writes often about dating and sex, wrote Tuesday that the kink community “puts a premium on consent.”
“It is one of the very basic tenets of BDSM,” she wrote. “Often, sex acts will be negotiated beforehand in the form of contracts, and either way, anyone practicing BDSM responsibly will implement a ‘safe word’ to make it clear if they are uncomfortable with anything happening.”
Seems reasonable.
Each of those "me too" accusations are "he said she said" issues. But the precedent of the Bill Cosby case is that if enough complainants come forward, it's deemed true.
