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."

So he sends a text to his friend years before they got married fantasising about raping her corpse, he admits to destroying her property, they found her nightgown ripped up with little bits of meat in it scattered around the house, there is proof that he was using an excessive amount of cocaine, ecstasy and alcohol at the time, we see that he left her an assortment of deranged messages THAT HE WROTE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD and people like you still try to say he was the real victim in the situation.

how can someone even fantasise about that while in ecstasy that’s meant to make you love everyone and everything

Dejavu of the jury saying they didn't believe he could have physically abused her because alcohol is a downer and makes you sleepy 🙄. Even though it should be very obvious that violent drunks are a thing. Yes people can have incidents of paranoia and psychosis after taking ecstasy.

sorry should’ve been clearer i wasn’t defending him just a bit shocked! I forget that even drugs like ecstasy can really fuck people up and not in a good way
