Dr. Ruth under fire for rape comments: Woman can’t change her mind once naked in bed with man

Longtime sex therapist and advice columnist Dr. Ruth Westheimer is facing backlash for comments she made Monday, after she suggested a woman can’t change her mind about having sex with a man once she’s naked in bed with him.

Appearing on the “The Diane Rehm Show,” the 86-year-old doctor said once two people are “aroused” and “in bed together,” the time for changing one’s mind has passed, Mashable reported.

“I am very worried about college campuses saying that a woman and a man — or two men or two women, but I talk right now about woman and man — can be in bed together, Diane, and … most of the time they think she can say, I changed my mind. No such thing is possible,” Dr. Ruth said.

She cited ancient Jewish scripture to back up her claim.

“In the Talmud, in the Jewish tradition, it says when that part of the male anatomy is aroused and there’s an erection, the brain flies out of the head and we have to take that very seriously, so I don’t agree with that,” she said.

The backlash was swift, and the octogenarian later took to Twitter to defend her stance.

I thought she was dead.

[jmacusa]

Me too. I can’t believe this little sex obsessed troll is still around.

Oh Doctor.

Don’t you know that women can change their mind AFTER agreeing to have sex?

Sure. If they regret it the next day, they just report it as rape.

She’s probably referring to when a man is in the middle of an “act” and the woman says stop. Some things are just more easily said than done.

If I find Dr Ruth naked in my bed please God let her change her mind!

[miss marmelstein]

Being naked in bed with a man is a problem. Most men will pull back - so be careful who you get into bed with, ladies!

[Michael.SF.]

What if this is a Bernie Sander’s kind of woman and she has three men in bed with her? Does, No then mean:<p.

Yes, Yes, YESSSSS

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DANG!

Ruth?

[no-to-illegals]

Ruth, Stop That! I’ll ‘Yell’ Rape!

“I am 100% against rape. I do say to women if they don’t want to have sex with a man, they should not be naked in bed w/him,” she tweeted Tuesday to her more than 85,000 followers.

Makes way too much sense. This should really set the moonbats off.

[Lazamataz]

Dr. Ruth? I’d hit that.

[Boogieman]

Too late! That’s why I don’t sleep naked, just in case Dr. Ruth tries to sneak in and rape me.

[no-to-illegals]

You may have my place in bed ... am out of here!

[Secret Agent Man]

Exactly.

More than equal.

[DemforBush]

I did too.

[MeganC]

Dr. Ruth is right. What’s the problem? Oh, that’s right, liberals are offended by the obvious.

[Salamander]

Her brain apparently is.

[no-to-illegals]

I don’t sleep naked

For those of us that do ... We too look to avoid a Ruth
