Sometimes I get caught up in rhetoric, and say people should be blamed for abuse if they advocate for it (supporting abusers, silencing victims, etc.) Then something like this comes to my attention, and I realize I don't really believe it. When I thought MZB supported and defended her child-abusing husband, I was outraged, but I could separate that from my feelings about her work. Now that I see she, herself, abused children...my outrage overflows.
