> You know, I’ve never bought into the idea that Whedon is a feminist icon the way some have. But I read his ex-wife’s statement and she seemed really mentally unbalanced. She claimed to have been diagnosed with PTSD because he cheated on her. It’s hard for me to see a competent therapist making such a serious diagnosis for adultery. It usually requires credible fear of death or injury to person or loved ones. She made it sound like he was doing the moral equivalent of beating her daily. The whole thing smacked of a need for revenge and seemed very insincere.
> 
> I don’t know who he slept with or under what circumstances. But that article read to me like someone bitter and mentally unstable trying to ruin his career and pass it off as a social justice message. I’m a little sensitive to these things (not necessarily accurately) because I grew up with a mom who had Borderline personality disorder. That’s what it felt like, a letter from Mom. I was ultimately underwhelmed.
> 
> I mean, I’m sure the guy had issues. But as I don’t tend to lionize famous people I really didn’t feel much letdown.

Despite everything on the Internet, there’s no requirement that one of the parties involved in a conflict is the good person.
