We all agree stealing is bad, but there a difference between shoplifting and bank robbery and we punish them very differently. We need to apply the same sense of proportion to sexual violation; not every jerk out there deserves to have his life ruined or his career taken away.

This is sad.

Yeah, most women have had unwanted tongues in their mouth and butt grabbed before they are old enough to vote. It is NOT the same as pedophilia. Sincerely, sexual assault survivor
Or, you could listen to women when they speak about sexual assault instead of mansplaining it to them... just a thought... and you can keep your "sorry", just let us speak out truths.
You literally came here to tell a woman her opinion of sexual assault of women is wrong. Did you even pause before you did that? Or did you just think, "My thoughts on this are more valid than this chick's. I'm gonna teach her about assault." and the pat yourself on the back?
Hahahaha... when a woman disagrees with you, she's unhinged. We don't need you on our side
Btw, your sisters are not you. You don't tell women what they feel on a topic that affects them and not you is wrong.

Wow. What a disappointment. I've followed your spiritual and political work for years. To use your platform to ask for leniency and compassion for the men involved in this is so wrong. The focus should be on the women and how to support every one of them so we can really heal

Thank you!

1) Can we remember the thousands of women's lives ruined by years of sexual assault, violence and abuse? The men are very safely still protected by a deeply engrained patriarchal system which means the vast majority of perpetrators still walk free

2) How many of them have actually gone to prison? I know a few high profile men who have lost their jobs, but how many have actually had their "lives ruined?" How many thousands of women have had their lives ruined by a myriad of small assaults that have broken their spirit?
