@AlexxxCoal 2/2 When I read about situations like this one, where the defence tried to minimize the actions of the accused by blaming them on ADHD and trauma, my alarm grows because our society has a tenancy to explain away misogynistic behavior.
@AlexxxCoal 1/2 My partner has an 11 year-old boy that displays warning signs of misogyny, namely his insistence that he should always get what he wants, when he wants it from the women in his life.
I am alarmed, but my partner blames his behavior on ADHD and trauma.
@AlexxxCoal Legal Eagle had a great video about this. It would be best if he was prosecuted by the Florida AG. A federal prosecution would require the use of the Mann Act, which has been misused. In Florida, Gaetz is political royalty, which is protecting him.
@AlexxxCoal Also, I am consciously aware of the enormous amount of online harassment and hate sex workers get, and I really don't want to accidentally add to it. Also, since the tone of a reply is hard to anticipate, I am approaching this discussion very carefully.
@AlexxxCoal It isn't that I dont have a response. I find it difficult to have a nuanced discussion about these topic here. We've veered from the initial discussion, the efficacy of using a population of humans for biomedical research, to this related topic, which complicates the discussion.
@AlexxxCoal I think I'm following your perspective.
Regardless, this is a complex issue that is hard to discuss on forums such as this. I'll end by saying that you're amazing and I fully support your work and your advocacy.
