In this week’s column I am going to digress from the usual format of chronicling the life experiences of women to address a swirling issue that has exploded in the virtual world, but does not seem to have taken root in the physical realm where actual damage has been done.
A well-known man, who has been popular on social media for years and has an opinion about everything under the sun, has reportedly been sexually assaulting women. He has been doing this while allegedly being infected with at least two sexually transmitted infections (STI) – herpes and syphilis – and while he was an advocate for sexual and reproductive health.
