I think the way people talk about Alex is gross.

Yeah coercion and manipulation is sexual assault. I never said it isn't. Once again you are ignoring what I am saying to you so this is the final time I respond to you because at this point I have to assume you are being ignorant on purpose. In the post itself I addressed this "Now to respond to the inevitable "BUT YOU DON'T KNOW SHE IS A VICTIM OR EVEN WAS MANIPULATED YOU DUMB BITCH" Nope, I don't know that and I'm not saying that she is/was. I am saying when I know there is a possibility of manipulation in a very large power dynamic I don't think it is ethical to gamble with my words." and I have addressed it again with you several times. "No I'm saying that when the statistics in regards to power imbalances show that there is often an level of manipulation or coercion that I don't think it is ethical to say that nothing happened here. Its ignorant." "I also have no reason to believe that there was no element of manipulation or coercion which is why I say I don't think the language is needed or positive" I have been continuously trying to say to you that we don't know one way or the other and often in these situations the power dynamic is manipulative so we shouldn't assume or make comments that is contributing to harmful rhetoric. I hope you have a great day but I cannot continue to engage with wilful ignorance.
