    wheelchair-bound

    Dude was fully paralyzed. Come one. Are you really that desperate to attack someone? Guy is asking a valid question.

      Then how did he have an affair?

      Is power itself not enough to coerce someone, you’re saying it has to be physical coercion? That would undo a lot of what we know about sexual assault.

      I’m certainly not saying he did it, but “he’s paralyzed” is not a good enough defense.

        Its not a defense its a line of inquiry. Why do you think people asking what he’s accused of are defending him? That doesn’t make sense.

          Stephen Hawking reportedly loved strippers. His being paralyzed doesn’t/didn’t preclude sexual interests, nor untoward sexual pursuits, particularly given his status and presence in the fucking Epstein files.

            Doesn’t justify you walking around calling people ableist for not knowing that bub. Grow the fuck up.
