Someone in [livejournal.com profile] feminist seems to think that the woman in this story is being unfairly singled out.

There is being a feminist, and then there is being a human being. Look at the facts of the situation and then tell me if there's any bias.

I know an individual online who is HIV+. For a very long time he would have sex with married men, not insist on condom usage, and claim "Well, they're supposed to ask."

It pissed me off to no end and I didn't speak to him for -years- because of it, and would loudly decry his behavior. And it made me think a lot harder about the assumptions we make.

She knew. She had a responsibility to tell. And as for the feminists, why is this even a feminist issue? A person had a potentially fatal disease, and knowingly risked passing it on to someone else. I don't think gender should come into it at all.
