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.Anonymous wrote: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.
I hear you and I agree with some aspects of what you're saying. But it's also important to call out some unpleasant truths about situations like these, which is the enormous benefit that she was getting (money, external respect and status, power) or she would've left. She would not have entered into this relationship with the local garbage collector. She sought out the relationship to derive benefits from it. I think as women we have to recognize that we have some sick needs for the power and status that we get from men. There are so many examples like this (like Bill belchick and his 24-year-old). Let's stop making excuses for women who make these choices.
I get where you're coming from, and you're right that status and money can play a big role in why people enter certain relationships. But that doesn’t mean abuse didn’t happen or that she deserved it. People can want benefits and still be taken advantage of or hurt.
It's not about making excuses—it’s about understanding that these situations are complicated. And saying women have “sick needs” for power is unfair. A lot of this is shaped by a society that rewards women for being close to powerful men.
