Firstly, "[...] We can't count on men" - that's a sexist comment, as if every single man out there is the same.
Secondly, it's very sad that a person dealing with BPD does not control her actions but it's a cruel world. You still have to take resposbility for your actions. That guy didn't assault her, he was hitting on her, because she sent him the pics. A natural chain of events.
Thirdly, "
How insensitive to people with bipolar. She does not control what he thinks or does" - that's a not an argument at all. What if she killed somebody because she does not control what she thinks? Dealing with any disorder on daily basis is a terrible thing but it's wise to point out "mistakes" like that and do one's absolute best to control or have influence on the similar situations' outcomes in the future.
