What am I missing here? Nowhere in her diatribe did she indicate the guy physically abused her and/or physically prevented her from leaving via threat of physical harm. She was being "emotionally abused" and "forced" to have sex with him via threats he would break up with her and yet VOLUNTARILY chose to remain in the relationship, only to publicly smear the guy AFTER the relationship ended?
I don't know the guy. He very well could have been a controlling a-hole. BUT SHE CHOSE TO REMAIN IN THE RELATIONSHIP. The only thing (if true) that seems to have any kind of merit are the claims that he attempted to ruin her career because she broke up with him.
No one is condoning treating people like shite. But to lump this in to situations where women are physically abused by a spouse/boyfriend and/or forced by the threat of violence to have sex with someone is a fricking joke, and frankly insulting to women truly have been abused. There are women all over this country who every day reluctantly remain in relationships because they literally fear for their lives and physical well-being should they chose to leave. This isn't one of those situations
Her dead-fishing a guy just because he wanted to have sex and she didn't so he wouldn't break up with her is a hell of a lot different than a girl having sex with a guy just so she won't get her arse kicked. I mean holy shite! How many guys on here have at one point or another essentially aggravated their girlfriend/wife into having sex on a night they were "tired". If that qualifies as "sexual assault" these days, then there are a shite load of husbands with young kids and tired wives sexually assaulting women on a nightly basis.
All shite like this does is discredit the stories of women who are actually abused, against their will, with real threats to their personal welfare preventing them from getting out of the relationship. This is the world we live in as a result of social media. Everyone loves to be a "victim" and solicit a self-confidence boost others. But what it does on the flip-side is publicly and broadly cast a guy as a "sexual abuser", "abuser of women", etc. simply because this particular woman thought he was a shitty person/boyfriend.
I truly feel bad for the actual abused women out there whose voices really need to be heard, but are overwhelmed by the idiots racing to exact revenge under the auspices of being the next "victim"
