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 guess you know the story of Bill Ayers raping a woman and forcing the same woman to have sex with his black roommate? Was big news on FR years ago.

Good for her for not backing down. And I hear she is a bloody good shot, too.

A friend and I met three women in a nightclub. I hooked up with one and went to her hotel room. She climaxed and decided she was done.

As I walked back to the club I met my friend and the two others and we went to the hotel. He hooked up with one and I hooked up with the other. We both climaxed. The first one got pissed off.

Go figure...

Williams, you control access to your bed. How did Dr. Ruth get there?

if you don't want to have sex, don't get into bed with a man.

If I do want to have sex, I will DEFINITELY NOT get in bed with a man ...

Yes.

Also in his 9-11-2001 NYTimes piece (and I guess his book) he talks about how they engaged in partner swapping (even among the same sex lines) to ‘smash monogamy’.

Free love isn’t free. It leaves a trail of human debris.
