64 - Conflict Is Not Abuse: Jodi Arias & Travis Alexander
Manage episode 330014121 series 3356194
On June 4th, 2008, Jodi Arias murdered Travis Alexander — her ex, her on-again/off-again boyfriend, her friend-with-benefits, her stalking victim, or her fuck buddy, depending on how you view their relationship. Media pundits like Nancy Grace saw this as a case of a beautiful, narcissistic psychopath slaughtering her ex-boyfriend in cold blood. Arias’s defense team painted her as a woman abused.
But we want to take another approach — one that recognizes the toxic nature of Jodi and Travis’s relationship while affirming that nothing in Travis’s behavior justifies his brutal death. In the words of author and activist Sarah Schulman: conflict is not abuse. Hurt feelings — even when caused by someone else’s deceit or selfishness — don’t give someone a free pass for violence.
