Complicated? Really? He's a multiple rapist with a fetish for impregnating women—and that's the generous interpretation. If we read Inside Wikileaks, there's this bit:
And that's not even mentioning how he used the honeypot angle to turn wikileaks and the entire gulible left into his personal rape defence league.
It seems rather patronizing to criticize a woman he sexually assaulted for not speaking negatively enough about him.
Yeah, I think she gets to control her perspective. She very much still wishes he'd have had to deal with the assault charges (sexual misconduct in regards to her). She's a progressive Christian deacon, being in the mindset of forgiveness makes sense for her. It might make sense for anyone tbh. But she's explicitly not saying it was OK or he didn't commit those acts or any sort of recant, the opposite in fact.
I appreciate it.
My personal feeling it that she was very clear on exactly what she was going to say, and decided to go for heavy understatement in order to be taken seriously. If so, it might even be the best approach strategy-wise.
But even with that, once made public, her statement will live its own live on the public arena, influencing other abuse cases and such. So I think it makes sense to criticize it on its own merits.
I don't understand the concern about other abuse cases? She did not do sexual abuse apologia that I saw. Nor defend him on those grounds.
