Dude was fully paralyzed. Come one. Are you really that desperate to attack someone? Guy is asking a valid question.
Then how did he have an affair?
Is power itself not enough to coerce someone, you're saying it has to be physical coercion? That would undo a lot of what we know about sexual assault.
I'm certainly not saying he did it, but "he's paralyzed" is not a good enough defense.
Its not a defense its a line of inquiry. Why do you think people asking what he's accused of are defending him? That doesn't make sense.
Why are you suggesting that paralyzed people are somehow incapable?
Grow the fuck up.
Stephen Hawking reportedly loved strippers. His being paralyzed doesn't/didn't preclude sexual interests, nor untoward sexual pursuits, particularly given his status and presence in the fucking Epstein files.
Doesn't justify you walking around calling people ableist for not knowing that bub. Grow the fuck up.
You keep doing it
That's generally how people find out. Until then, it is both at the same time. Schroedinger's douchebag and all.
Is this an appropriate place to bring up that Schrödinger was (also, and kind of openly) a paedo?
I mean, sure. He plausibly would've been in the Epstein files had be lived in the right era. He would've fit right in.
