I was not talking about sex at all. I talked about hero worship and about the idea of "if Ghandi did that bad suff then Brits should have stayed" being wrong.

And of course, Chuck Berry's fecal hobbies might have relationship to culture of rock and roll (I have no idea about factual basis of either).

Ghadis sexual habits and cruelty (cause there was not just sex but quite simply abuse) are wery relevant toward how much I should take seriously his quotes anywhere near that topic.

It also opens topic of how much the non-violent thing was practical strategy and how moral issue and how victims become abusers sometimes.

The was rape, abuse or bullying become conflated with "sexual habit" in this debate is interesting too - and is nice examplease why hero worship is wrong and makes perfect situation for abuse to occure.

I believe I acknowledged that he was a rapist, so that I took all the different behaviors described and put them into the set 'sexual habits' is not actually that interesting.

I didn't know anyone actually cares what Gandhi's quotes are regarding anything but non-violence and perhaps its use as a political strategy - but it is a big world, so sure if someone were going to care about his quotes about sex this info here might cause them to reconsider.

I think it may also open topic of power corrupts.
