I chose my words carefully. I said his perspective as per RMS’s argument, we don’t know how things were presented to Minsky. Eg it might have seemed consensual. I said his perspective because mine is that it’s effectively rape even if consensual and legal when you have someone so young and so old, because the young person isn’t in the position to truly be consensual given their limited understanding of the world. But when the word “rape” is used, the image conjured is very specific and unlikely to have occurred in that way. This is all assuming it’s even true, which I have a very tough time swallowing for Minsky specifically.
