A summary of the incident on the show;

Louie was just sitting next to her, politely (if awkwardly and self-defeatingly) explaining that he would prefer not to perform oral sex on her, when she suddenly lunged at him and slammed his head into window so hard that it shattered. While he was dazed from the impact, she then leapt on top of him, pinioned his arm, and bent a finger back to the point it was about to snap, saying “do it or I’ll break your finger.” He had no chance to escape (since she surprised him with the first blow), and only conceded to perform the sex act when given the option of doing so or having a bone broken.

Alyssa, of course, seems to think the woman in question is entitled to oral from Louie.

I found myself cheering for her ideas, even though Laurie is awful. She’s aggressive and violent, at one point threatening to break Louie’s finger, at another, bouncing his head off her passenger-side window. And Laurie’s emotionally nasty, too, implying that Louie is gay because he won’t reciprocate sexually. But even if she’s hard to identify with, even if her behavior is embarrassing or horrifying, even if I felt physically uncomfortable watching C.K. give in to her demands, there’s something powerful about the way this episode ofLouie threw every possible objection at Laurie, made her as unsympathetic a spokeswoman as possible, and acknowledged that she was right anyway.

And here’s the elaboration, after the comments on the article called her out. It’s just “coercion”, you’ll note. She even describes Louie as feeling “entitled”. She even implies the “well, he didn’t walk away, so he didn’t think it was assault” rationale to temporarily sidestep the question of whether hitting him hard enough for his head to break the car window behind him was violence. Apparently, “give me oral sex or I will continue to physically harm you” is just “coercion” and “violent” in her eyes, even when she explicitly compares it to “male date rapists”. She never quite manages to directly call it “rape”. She never even quite manages to call it “wrong”.

Oh, and she’s still writing for Slate.
