A scene from “Discord”

Stone: Yes, Julia Wood willingly joined Mr. C-Square in his limo. And, yes, she willingly went up to his hotel room. And, yes, she even thought of having sеx with him. But to give her the benefit of the doubt, Mr. Clarence "C-Square" Carmichael is rich. And to some people in this courtroom, he's attractive. And, of course, he's world-famous. But Julia Wood did not ask to be thrown down on the bed. She did not ask to have her legs pried open. She did not ask to be pinned down and forcibly penetrated. Julia Wood said no. And whatever expectations she had going up to that hotel suite, once she got there, she changed her mind. And that's her right. But in Mr. C-Square's world, a woman's rights are of no consequence. Sеx is an entitlement of his stardom. Julia Wood ain't a lady. She a bitch, an amusement. To be held prisoner and used until he decides that he's through with her. In our country, one of the fundamental rights is the right of any of us to say no. We do it in our religion. We do it in our politics. And in our workplace. And in our world, when a woman says no and a man ignores her, that's rapе in the first degree.
