I do not condone this man thinking he had to drug her to have a sexual relationship with her, but I feel his gestures of attonement are genuine.

I applaud this woman's courage to hear him out.

As a survivor of sexual abuse in my youth, my ability to judge a man's motivations and character was deeply flawed by the grooming I experienced. My assumption is this woman has a strong ability to judge a man's motivations and character enabling her to deal with this much differently than I could have.

I simply can’t imagine being able to forgive the attack. But I also know that she spent a lot of time coming to terms with what happened and assessing the man’s sincerity. What bothers me more than almost anything about the story is that the man felt he could and should be able to drug and rape someone. He is not alone. Misogyny is alive and well in our country.

True, and in other countries. Condoning a man's behavior while blaming the woman for what happens to her is despicable and must change. This is why the rise of the woman here is so important! 💙
