I agree with all of this. I feel like we need to hold everyone accountable. I am a man, so of course I do see it from that point of view, but I also see it as a "what would I do if that was my daughter" scenario, yk? From that point of view, it's hard for me to blame a woman for clutching their purse, or moving to the other side of the street, that kind of thing. I hate the idea that someone would act like they're a "progressive" to do something like that and I feel like it defeats the whole purpose. I mean at the end of the day, it's not like they HAVE to be progressive. They could easily just fuck off and be part of literally any other group. I mean I know I'm with progressives on a lot of stuff but I'm also definitely not at rallies or anything.

The Devil's advocate inside of me wants to ask: is there any scenarios where you'd consider someone who had some sort of related past to that to be "past it", so to speak? At what point has a man proven himself that he is trustworthy? Is he never trustworthy? Even if he fully admits all wrongdoing, and has shown what he's done to move past it? It's just a morbidly interesting (albeit important) topic for me.
