'Shameless' season 9 has its own subtle moments of showing solidarity with #MeToo movement

If Kv and V - the biggest sex freaks of the southside can tone it down for what's right - so can pretty much everybody else.

'Shameless' season 9 has given us a nice let of surprises already, but things went a bit too far with the introduction of a certain grown man called Craig, who can't keep it in his pants. Literally and figuratively. Doesn't really seem like a shocking addition, knowing an entire lot of the Gallagher and their plethora of non-criminal indiscretions. But at the same time, the context in which Craig came up was the characters, Kevin (Steve Howey) and V (Shanolla Hampton), trying to make their source of livelihood - the Alibi - every bit non-rapey.

It all started with season 9's third and most recent episode where a newspaper article lists the rapiest bars in the southside and topping the list is The Alibi - aka the bar owned by Kevin and Veronica Ball. Soon as Kevin reads the news out loud, the three grown men well beyond their middle age get defensive; and said Craig proclaims "I've never raped anybody in here." Really, Craig? Not that we had a great first impression, to begin with, but are you also implying that you could have possibly raped someone elsewhere?
