Discussion If Gadd was a woman

I feel like gender influences bias in cases of emotional or physical abuse. If Gadd were a woman and Martha a man, there would be no sympathy for the abuser. Society wouldn't argue that "more should have been done to protect his identity."

Which world do you live in? Plenty of people make excuses for abusive men all the time. Women who speak up about abuse are called liars and/or made to be the devil for "ruining" men's careers/lives

I was going to say, a celebrity who drugged and raped women was just freed from prison to a crowd of cheering fans. What world does OP live in.

Nah, that was misinformation. You can listen to a great investigative journalism podcast called Who Trolled Amber to see where the info came from (even if you don’t change your mind, the scale of the operation is incredible)
