The amount of times “leftists are self destructive” turns out to mean “leftist women should keep their discomfort with electing sexual predators to themselves” is too high 🙃
Misogyny and cultures of abuse don’t reset when a man reaches a life milestone, be it turning 18, 21, marriage, running for office, promotions, parenthood etc. Passing those milestones without accountability/consequences tends to reinforce the idea that misogyny is no biggie.
So as long as things like:
“He was young”
“He was early in his career”
“He’s a father now, it’s different”
keep getting used to excuse abuse, boys who grow into men will continue to think that there are built in expiration dates on the trauma they inflict on women.

Women do not exist to be the collateral damage in a mans journey towards “growth.” We are people, who do not simply outgrow trauma because a man feels like he’s outrun accountability. When a man is outed as an abuser, rewarding him with power hurts everyone around him.
