What a nasty load of projection and assumptions! I don’t think that it takes politics to differentiate between rape, sexual assault, patterns of abuse and harassment... and cheating on a spouse. Dozens of people coming out and describing the behavior of someone like Weinstein or Spacey is on a different planet than an ex accusing someone of serial cheating.
- paulcole 9y agoWhen you have to make the "he's not as bad as ..." argument about someone, they're still pretty bad. Sure, being a scumbag is a continuum. But it's pretty easy to argue that someone who espoused feminist beliefs (and profited off the image that gave him) while cheating on his wife is squarely on it.
