We had to call a therapist for this one. The Jilted Indians met up with LMFT Shameela Keshavjee to discuss the necessity of expanding the conversation surrounding consent and sexual misconduct. The Babe.net Aziz Ansari story that broke out after the Golden Globes has spurred dozens and dozens of response articles and dialogue in media. This is part 1, where we discuss the state of feminism in media leading up to this very moment in #metoo and #TimesUp. We discuss what happened between Grace and Aziz and our thoughts on the responses to her story. We poured drinks, did some deep breathing over lavender essential oils to quell our rage and at one point Miranda had to lie down on the floor to breathe slowly (you would have too if you were her).
