I understand the point you're making, yes. I just don't think all that baggage can be reasonably attached to the situation in the article.

I just don't think all that baggage can be reasonably attached to the situation in the article.

The article is a good indicator of the conditions of our court system. Every situation will be different, the point is this: it's legally unsafe for me to trust a woman enough to date her. It's a sad and sorry fact. If I misjudge character even slightly, the result could be anything from a criminal charge to heavy civil penalties for years to come, and that's even if I don't do anything wrong.

Why would I run that risk? I know that the risk is small, but it must be weighed against the consequences. And it isn't looking so good from here.
