by
**Oh, yes—it is true. What kind of man leverages ‘monetary goods’ to exploit the very woman he once wounded so deeply? Todd Downing would come to mind. His conduct speaks for itself.

Enslavement: When Power Seeks to Rewrite the Worth of a Life
—
by
Enslavement cannot be reimagined as commerce, companionship, religious obligation, cultural inheritance, or divine purpose. To enslave another human being is not a business arrangement, not a partnership, and not a bond of friendship, sisterhood, family, community, or faith. It is never love, never loyalty, never devotion, never culture. It is a quiet violence, a deliberate…

Harvey is responsible for his consequences he’s facing, and it’s unbelievable to me that anyone feels sympathy for him. It’s delusional and disturbing that some people portrayed him as an innocent man. I know what I know, and what I know is deeply unsettling. To every one of his victims, my heart is with you.…
