My sister is a psychiatrist and has the same opinion on the subject.

There's nothing wrong with postulating and analysing it, even if the views are perhaps unpopular. Nothing should be beyond discussion even if it's uncomfortable for some people. Without making a judgement (I have no opinion on this myself), all arguments need contrast.

My sister is a domestic violence legal clinic attorney and doesn't. I guess we're at an impasse.

We are of course in the weeds here. The question was, "does Raymond still think the way he did in that post from 2002?" The evidence seems dispositive: yes.
