In reply to the discussion: Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex [View all]JefilteFish
(4 posts)From a long term DUer like you, its completely baffling to see you and others downplaying this. Ive had this done to me. Do you remember what its like to be a woman in reproductive years, feeling vulnerable already with a man, and then have him put your HEALTH at risk? Its a massive violation. And then you have to worry about PREGNANCY. So theres more time and emotional energy spent, $50 for planB, maybe you weigh more than 150lbs so it doesnt work, then you need an abortion. Maybe youre in a state where you cant get one
And on and on. All because a scum bag man cant be trusted and slipped condoms off.
It FEELS LIKE ASSAULT. That is why is IS ASSAULT in multiple places, and should be everywhere.
I dont give a F about Platner one way or another beyond how he has totally screwed our party, but its up to Mainers to decide how they want to move forward.
But I wont sit here on DU and let you underplay what slipping condoms off really means to women. Even women who are MAGA and we dislike.
