If your response to seeing these texts from Aaron Coleman is any of the following:

*He was 14
*You& #39;re a terrible person for posting these
*She said bad things too

Then let me break this down for you...
1. He was not 14, they broke up this year. Even if he was 14, that still doesn& #39;t excuse this. It only shows more of a pattern. These are not normal behaviors.

2. No, I& #39;m not a terrible person for posting this. I don& #39;t want to see some sadistic egomaniac...
... win a seat riding coattails of a movement that& #39;s supposed to be above this, that& #39;s supposed to stand with victims, just because he says he supports policy we want. Be better than that.
3. There& #39;s nothing she said that was bad so just stop with the victim blaming. That& #39;s no better than blaming a victim for dressing a certain way or flirting.
Finally, I& #39;m going to leave you with this chart. The rape culture isn& #39;t only about the physical act of assault. Acceptance of certain behaviors normalizes the more devastating behaviors at the top.
One example...
This one defends Aaron while calling themselves an active feminist. https://twitter.com/thenarrator000/status/1298442985848238085?s=21">https://twitter.com/thenarrat...
