I missed this further in the article. She broke up with him four years after the first claim of rape only after she found out he was with a 22-year old. So she didn't have any problems "escaping" the relationship.

This is gross man. Abusive relationships are way more complicated than that, judging someone in this situation because you read one article about it is out of line

  • It's the article supplied. If you have another article that says anything different, then supply it. If you have further insight into this specific instance, give it.

    • It has nothing to do with reading another article and I have absolutely no insight into this instance and neither do you. You do not and cannot know what is going on in that woman's life to judge her like that, and it's really gross to try and do so.

Just a piece of advice. If a woman calls it rape it's not on her to prove it. It's on the man to prove it's not. This goes doubly when you're talking about one of the most powerful men in the world. There are dynamics at play here that none of us would be able to comprehend.

An interesting thing is how most of the photos that the media is using to cover this are sexualized images of Ritter and pics of Schmidt in a suit.

  • I asked for no such proof. Quit making things up.

    EDIT: It's really interesting that your link mentions nothing about any rape charges. These inconsistencies are why I am confused and asking questions. These inconsistencies should have you asking questions, too.

    • Good point. Read into the case where you'll find out more instead of relying on other people to do your searching for you. When you say stuff like:

      > So she didn't have any problems "escaping" the relationship.

      It's pretty telling that you don't have a sense of the power dynamics that come with sexual violence like this, especially, as I said, with somebody like Eric Schmidt.
