      Aaron Coleman & his defenders spent this last week saying he hasn'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 Decemberhttps://gen.medium.com/aaron-colemans-ex-girlfriend-says-his-misogynist-abuse-didn-t-stop-in-middle-school-1c82a836a5d8 …

      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 not one-offs or 'youthful mistakes' - they're indicators of *who a person is*

          I also want to stress the message sent to young women when men with influence claim abuse that happens in youth doesn't really count. Girls are already told to suck it up and get over harassment & assault. Defending young abusers is just another version of that.

          They obviously think these are “minor” offenses which is extremely disturbing.

          I can't stress this enough. I know several women who have been victims of this. It starts with revenge porn and then always escalates to more dangerous behavior.

          For something to be considered a "youthful mistake", especially for something that directly harms other people, you'd really want to see active work shown to correct it or do better in the future.

          Exactly this. That whole thing would hold more water if he'd spent a decade doing the work to do better and had receipts

          Exactly. I have a daughter that just came through middle school and I can tell you, very few guys acted like that. And the ones that did were jerks and absolutely knew that what they were doing was wrong.
