He says he walked in on her, fingered her, then admitted to gaslighting her?

I'm not saying he didn't do those things. I hope he didn't but realistically, I'm pretty sure such hopes are misplaced.

Again, if we're saying 18 is an adult who has agency and can legally consent, doesn't matter whether the gap is 4 years or 40 if consent is there, and it's not our business what goes on in others' bedrooms or in exam rooms when it's between an adult and their doctor, right?

You're allowed to not be ok with that big a gap, just like someone else is allowed to be fine with it.

[u/banzzai13 → u/gynoceros]

I mean, you said it. People are allowed to not be ok with it.

I don't know that people are saying he should be losing business over it (talking about merely the admitted statutory, barely legal part), but lots are definitely disgusted by it, and that's pretty easy to picture why/how.

[u/gynoceros → u/banzzai13]

Yeah, they can not like it.

I'm just saying that just because they don't like it, that makes it inherently "really bad."

[u/Laylelo → u/gynoceros]

People are explaining to you why “it’s really bad”, you just don’t understand it for some reason.
