Aaron Coleman & his defenders spent this last week saying he hasn& #39;t abused a woman since middle school - and that we needed to leave the past in the past.

But his ex-girlfriend told me he violently attacked her in December https://gen.medium.com/aaron-colemans-ex-girlfriend-says-his-misogynist-abuse-didn-t-stop-in-middle-school-1c82a836a5d8">https://gen.medium.com/aaron-col...

In addition to choking and slapping Taylor Passow just a few months ago, Coleman sent her texts telling her to kill herself, and saying that he hoped she was "raped chopped up and have ya pieces scattered around and Burnt"

Passow also told me that Coleman said he would kill her if she got pregnant, and she took the threat seriously enough that she stayed with a friend for several days when she had a pregnancy scare

I also heard from a woman that Coleman hounded over DM when she refused to let him use her personal story for his campaign.

When she asked him to stop reducing her story “to a political stunt,” he said, “You are a political prop. Think of it as a good thing not a bad thing.”

If the men who were so desperate to defend Coleman would have spent *a minute* investigating who he was, they would have found out what feminists have been saying forever: the abuse of women is almost never isolated

Behavior like revenge porn and extreme bullying and harassment are one-offs or & #39;youthful mistakes& #39; - they& #39;re indicators of *who a person is*
