    …yes?

    That ship has sailed already though. They declined to push forward with prosecuting him. So his victim had to sue him in civil court.

    All of the decisions and actions that led to this man getting a chance at rehabbing his image after violently raping a woman are the problem. All of them and all of the people making them.

            That doesn’t erase the societal problems caused by the patriarchy.

            Look at Cesar Chavez.

              Cesar Chavez is the same issue. Power should not be centralized even in celebrity. Its the ideals and laws that are important.

                Even the men who push for class solidarity are perpetrators of sexism. Because even in the working class, women are subjugated and pushed lower and treated as less than.

                Men are inherently in a position of power within the patriarchy. They don’t need to have their power centralized in order to rape others, they already have.

                  which is exactly it. power disparity. there is no innate thing in man vs women. it is the power disparity that is the problem. this is why all people should have the vote and all should be represented in society and wealth and power should not be concentrated.
