[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks that Cassie was a grown ass woman who could've walked away at any time?  I can't imagine myself, even as a 19-year-old, booking the prostitutes to have sex with me, letting them pee on me, and taking drugs knowing that I was going to be having sex for days on end- and then doing it over and over for years. I am honestly confused why people are feeling so sorry for her. I would've walked away.  But the money and what she was getting in return were obviously enough to convince her to stay in the relationship. I'm sorry, I don't see women as children and so I see her as perfectly capable of saying no.

[/quote] It's fair to believe in personal responsibility, but it's also important to recognize how abuse and manipulation work, especially when power, control, and emotional dependence are involved. Cassie may have been an adult legally, but being young and in a relationship with someone older, richer, and more powerful can make it incredibly difficult to just 'walk away.' Abuse isn't always obvious from the start, and people often stay in harmful situations because they're scared, isolated, or groomed over time. Acknowledging that doesn't mean we see women as children; it means we understand the complexities of trauma and coercion.[/quote]
