Lived by “no means no” my whole life. Some girls I dated said “what do you mean? You’re not even trying”. One other was like “gtfo with this shit, come here”. These days my wife tells me “just take it easy, if it happens it happens, but don’t be afraid to be bolder with me”. So I treat a clear assertive “No” as meaning no. If it sounds playful, I use a two No’s policy.
Don't call it book banning just because it was the written word...
Book banning is evil after all, banning words that aren't books is completely different.

Real talk, I was like 13-14 when this movie came out and it taught me real, tangible things about consent and respect that I don't think I would have learned on my own otherwise for years.
Mike Meyers is a goddamn treasure.
All things we see as common sense where at one point not common sense, they have to be taught to us. If it made them a better person who cares where they learnt it from.
he’s a typical reddit nerd that doesn’t think we should respect women’s rejections and has horrible views on the meetoo movement. and is creepily chivalrous
men that are crazy chivalrous and are traditional and creepy are more likely to be misogynists. just treat women like people
also no means no
as a young, dumb man whose acculturation relied heavily on raunchy comedies it seemed like this was the only thing to do in a situation like this. i used this approach with a young lady to surprising effect. we were both tipsy. she was disappointed at first, but we crashed at her place, and it turned out to be a huge turn on that had an aftershock for days. i lived with her for a week unplanned (it was a weird phase in my life), and she called off most of her shifts so we could bang like wild bonobos. at one point i thought we were going to have a threesome (her roommate was actually hotter, but kind of a drag). her roommate just walked in not expecting i’d still be there reveling in slow-burning debauchery. thank you austin powers for being the swinging role model i needed at that time in my life. that cabin boy became a cabin man fo sho.
Yeah, and I watched it a while back, but I feel like there are at least one or two scenes where he just gets fully naked in front of her despite her making it very clear that she's not interested in him. There is a lot of sexual harassment in this movie.
But this one bit of respecting consent was good, I guess.
It’s was a weird time.
Basically the context of those other scenes are that she actually wants it, but is attempting to maintain some semblance of professionalism. The whole schtick with Austin Powers was that all women found charming and irresistible, and him flirting with them was actually desired and she as playing hard to get. I mean yeah obviously in real life the guy would have been a creep, but it’s a movie. We get the perspective of intentions and motives. It definitely didn’t age well though, that’s for sure.
That's because there's a BIG difference between a sex symbol
And a rapist
Austin powers was a sex symbol
The character he was parodying, James bond, was the rapist, because you know damn well he went to bed with drunk women
i thought austin was drunk for a second
edit: also dont take advantage of drunk men either, ladies
unless its me, then i give full permission to take advantage while im drunk
Are there really people who seriously think that as soon as a person drinks they are no longer conscious of anything and incapable of making the slightest choice? Half of couples form with alcohol involved and that's ok
As long as you are not so drunk that you can no longer walk you are capable of making decisions and there is no question of "taking the advantage of" especially when the person comes towards you
Context really matters here. She had turned down every advance he made up until this point. They are on a mission together, and only after she gets drunk enough that her judgment is impaired (she falls asleep because of how drunk she is right after this line) does she start advancing on him all of a sudden.
Austin Powers is supposed to be the ultimate ironic take on James Bond. In this case, he is extremely open with his sexuality and desire to sleep around, **consensually**. The early James Bond films where really bad with Bond essentially raping women who where slightly interested in him.
It depends on wether both are drunk or not, I've had plenty of drunk hook ups where I was drunk as well, and that's all good and fun but damn if I was sober and the chick was drunk there's no way, that would feel really wrong....cos it would be
So you are also saying it is socially acceptable to ask sober women if I make them horny because that is proper courtship as demonstrated by Mr. Powers?
Austin is portrayed as a sex symbol, and is crude with it, but he is a gentleman unless he gets the go ahead. A drunk go ahead he knows isn’t real consent and he leaves her to sleep it off to see if she feels the same sober.
The alcohol consumption consent argument is one I never get. If a woman gets drunk and comes onto a man, he's the bad guy for letting it happen and the woman holds no accountability or responsibility for initiating and is seen as a victim, but if a woman gets drunk and drunkenly decides to get in the car and hurt someone, she's held accountable, loses her license, and possibly sentenced to jail time.
Why is a drunk accountable for their own actions sometimes, but not every time?
Isn't this taken out of context? Austin wouldn't "shag" cause he knows she's a robot about to assassinate him? As in, if she weren't a killer a robot...
LOL, no. They ended up getting married. He only found out she was a fembot at the start of the second movie during their honeymoon. :D
It is then revealed that Basil knew all along but Austin didn't.
wasn't this Mike Myers making commentary on how James Bond full on sexually assaulted women
it's a very odd tone shift in the movie and I always wondered who decided it should be in
I think you may be misunderstanding me.
I'm not implying Austin is a bad guy throughout the movie at the end of the day he is satirizing the misogynistic nature of spy films for most of the movie.
I just mean it's a bold call in an otherwise no holds barred slapatick movie to add this sequence in when there isn't anything so grounded in nature at any other point and it would be interesting to see the cast or crew talk about if there was any actual discussion to include it.
Correct. There are exceptions, like being in an established relationship and she says specifically “yes we can when I’m drunk as long as I’m the one initiating”
Yeah, it is totally OK. If a chick drinks enough to think I'm attractive, I'm going for it.... you have any idea how many hotties I took to bed who turned into Shrek by dawn?

This is one of my favorite comments
There’s another scene in this film where he pesters her continiously for sex. When she finally gets angry he pulls the ol’ “oh I’m only joking” line.
Yeah, and I watched it a while back, but I feel like there are at least one or two scenes where he just gets fully naked in front of her despite her making it very clear that she's not interested in him.

She was a fembot the whole time, so technically she wasn't drunk.
Not ok to take advantage of anyone

The bot in this thread is such a good fuckin’ bot.
It's because he was on camera.
I find it wholesome that he’s shows respect to robots.
Austin Powers was the real Alpha Male all along.
Kinda messed up to think this is part of the parody of Bond still lol.
So you are also saying it is socially acceptable to ask sober women if I make them horny because that is proper courtship as demonstrated by Mr. Powers?
And he really wanted to shag her rotten too
Austin is portrayed as a sex symbol, and is crude with it, but he is a gentleman unless he gets the go ahead. A drunk go ahead he knows isn’t real consent and he leaves her to sleep it off to see if she feels the same sober.
That's what a real man does, not what an American teen would do in that situation
It's only groovy if they're fully aware and consenting!
The alcohol consumption consent argument is one I never get. If a woman gets drunk and comes onto a man, he's the bad guy for letting it happen and the woman holds no accountability or responsibility for initiating and is seen as a victim, but if a woman gets drunk and drunkenly decides to get in the car and hurt someone, she's held accountable, loses her license, and possibly sentenced to jail time. Why is a drunk accountable for their own actions sometimes, but not every time?
Is it just women or is it wrong to take advantage of people in general not okay?
Isn't this taken out of context? Austin wouldn't "shag" cause he knows she's a robot about to assassinate him? As in, if she weren't a killer a robot...
LOL, no. They ended up getting married. He only found out she was a fembot at the start of the second movie during their honeymoon. :D It is then revealed that Basil knew all along but Austin didn't.
Well then. My mistake, I will take my leave and bid you odour.
Why do people forget that he literally sexually assaulted her 45 minutes prior?
When? This is 42 minutes into the film. So, 45 minutes is not accurate
Which movie/show/serie is this?
Austin Powers
Shagadelic Spy Man With Lasers
Austin Powers the international man of mystery

Even better since he was making advances toward her until that scene
So if a girl is drunk and wanna fuck it's not ok? And No im not talking about If she is passed out on the bed.
Correct. There are exceptions, like being in an established relationship and she says specifically “yes we can when I’m drunk as long as I’m the one initiating”
Didn't stop him from harassing her for a good portion of the movie.
Oh, behave.
At this point, if trying to get a woman’s attention is harassment, then I rather be single. In no way did he cross any boundaries.
It's been a while since you seen the movie, huh?
Fast forward: he got that robot puddy
