I have just been reading through alot of the commentary about DWalliams.
We all knew, as did his publishers, the TV companies, his agents. And as long as he kept the money rolling in theu protected him at the expense of the women around him.
But he also hid in plain sight. He hid behind a sheen of campness and vagueness about his sexuality.
I am thinking this is a pattern, that abusive men seek to be seen as less manly and more feminine in an effort to get closer to women. I can think of a few who I have met over the years who have done this.
