Adams behaviour with women is quite common. I don't find it shocking at all.

This is an issue.

 Its the stuff with the teenager thats the issue. 

This is another issue

 

If things like using the threat of suicide to isolate and control partners, and making professional offers to women but then later making those offers dependent on sex are quite common in our society

We should improve society somewhat

True, in fact he seems like an all-round douche bag, and not just against women. But as you say, the other allegation is a different territory altogether

I guess you're the sort of guy who's in shock each time you hear of a crime.

Saying one thing isn’t shocking and another is “the issue”, singular, clearly means the first isn’t an issue.

The minor stuff is irrelevant in this conversation really, as everyone agrees that’s wrong, but the other stuff is also completely unacceptable and should not be seen as normal, regardless of how common it is.

It's the fact that someone (third person, society) can be made aware of these things, and isn't shocked / surprised by them that's the issue.

I'd be much more shocked to hear of a day of no-crime than I would any crime in any day.

Why is it an issue that some people are aware that bad crimes go on all the time so that they're not shocked when they hear of another bad crime?

Cos we should be better than that. We shouldn't pass this behaviour off as normal.

I was trying to clarify Bradders' point.

It's not my point (and not his) that this isn't shocking. It's the fact that someone (third person, society) can be made aware of these things, and isn't shocked / surprised by them that's the issue.

 

Indeed. I think we've gone down a semantic cul de sac here. 

To clarify, people acting the total c**t in relationships isn't shocking and isn't new news. Its happening as we speak in one of your neighbours houses in some form. Don't get me wrong, its shit and shouldn't happen. It shouldn't be normal. But it is. I don't think that needs to be said. 

However from Adams point of view, its not illegal. The alleged grooming stuff is however.

who is passing it off as normal? What exactly do you mean by 'normal'?

It's abnormal behaviour, but such crimes going on within society is quite normal.

Being aware that such things go on every day is something different to passing it off as normal.

Thanks for clarifying.

I actually think that needs to be said far more than the grooming stuff. We all know grooming is wrong and nobody disagrees. It’s being investigated and there’s nothing to discuss. 

The other stuff requires a conversation and to be seen as more than just bad but legal behaviour, as many still do.

My word, how can people fail to grasp this?

It's not about being shocked or whatever - of course, yeh we know that bad stuff happens is so we're hardly shocked. I'm not shocked when I hear about a car bomb in Afghanistan. But then again, I don't search on twitter for people discussing an attack and start spouting that it's not shocking to me. We are literally in a topic talking about abuse and gendered power structures in music and the last few pages are people just saying that it doesn't shock them as if it some way is an argument for their point of view.
