Didn’t Gandhi sexually abuse young women? Haven’t we made progress on that front since his death?

I've read a variety of reports. I've come to the conclusion that a bunch of weird shit went down, but that he did not have sex with anybody. The weird shit is well documented, and not that far from his claim of "testing his celibacy."

Forcing young females to sleep in your bed barely clothed is sex abuse.

[leashless]

Forcing being the key word there. I haven't read anything which suggested to me that Gandhi "forced" anybody to do anything.

You may know more than I do, however.

If I find 14 year old girls willing to sleep naked in my bed, I’m going to get arrested. Apparently Gandhi never considered whether someone is old enough to consent to his “experiments”.

I suspect at that point in Indian history people married at 13 in many cases.

This doesn’t make it right or wrong, but it is worth considering when these things happened.

These days he might just have spent a weekend in Vegas with five grand in cash, and seen what level he fell to!
