Holy shit... That is a very messed up person. I can't believe the NYT wrote an article like that... as if we're supposed to have sympathy for this monster. Her case holds about as much water as using a ouija board as a defense for necrophilia.

Feminist Ethics

Pick one.

Who's shocked? Anyone?

Here's the "Frontline" report (referenced in the article) on the technique she was using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqhlv0UZUwY Pretty obviously BS. It takes a special kind of narcissist (pretty common in academia, though) to both convince herself that that nonsense is true, and then to fall in love with words she was typing out herself. Many similarities to the psychological projection that feminists use.

I wonder if she still would have been charged if she had raped a non-disabled man.

feminist ethics..... no those words don't go together

I didn't know she was also married with 2 children. Wonder how that factors into her ethical viewpoint.

Such a sad and strange story. While she clearly has some head issues, and while societal condemnation would be swift if it were a male professor and a disabled female, I still don't think this was an aggravated rape that should send her to jail for the rest of her life--though she has no business being an ethics professor.

The case is likely to be reversed on appeal based on the judge's conclusions that (a) facilitated communication lacks the scientific validity to be presented in court as good practice, and (b) that therefore no witnesses should be able to testify about the technique other than the defendant. Conclusion (a) is likely right, but it doesn't lead to conclusion (b) because the evidence should still be available to show that she reasonably believed in facilitated communication, without asking the court to endorse the approach. A reasonable person can be deceived, and a reasonable person, given her life experiences, might believe in the technique. Even if she isn't a reasonable person (which she clearly isn't), that should be enough to exonerate her of the charge.

I'm speechless.

I'm speechless.

Taking advantage of the disabled ones.
I'm about to cry, now.
Edit: I can't read this, I'm very upset, now.
How long did she get sent to jail for? (That's if she did, that is, though.)
& I have mild cerebral palsy, it's even more upsetting to know that he also had (has*) cerebral palsy, too.:c

Alternatively: man effectively ordered by court to be celibate. But who cares.
