I did know she was doing this stuff. She caught him off-guard, lied her way in. And people react the way they see fit, based on their own experiences, plus she was exhausting him, affected his mental efforts. At least he chose to contact the police right away. I do wonder though, that perception of women was probably how she got involved with him though. She looks like a trap to me*.
She milked the whole "I'm just a girl" angle. As far as his initial time with JA though, I'm still a little raw about how Sky did confide in Travis at certain points about JA (she wasn't the only individual), Travis at one point responds with a "you're being mean" (reflexive) comment. Meanwhile, JA is only ever harassing Sky about TA, and TA's rude accusation that Sky might '*advertiser censored*-shame' Arias if she wore a bikini... I mean I do* go "WTF, Travis" every now and then, I'm sure we all do with this case (why did he do that or didn't do that despite his misgivings). In the end, I will say this:
His lack of anger/boundary issues concerning JA aside, he didn't have the right to judge Sky that way. He needed to check himself. Even if we're best buds and your new girlfriend is giving you the worst time in your life, you're religious, or whatever, I will lose my patience if you infer I might shallow and vain in my honesty with you. I think it probably just comes from a place where I think our society still has trouble with women being more than just one of two things/personalities. Males with conviction as opposed to women with conviction, are thought of as two separate entities in our world (business world as opposed to interpersonal relationships). Most obviously, we see it at the workforce, and it isn't just the men guilty of setting this double standard. It's one reason women have a hard time finding they should assert themselves, (she's stuck-up, or rude, or whatever). Whether or not Travis meant to infer that notion/sentiment, he's a guy, he's not infallible, at least that much I will say about him.
I said something to this effect a while back actually. Obviously *she should be held responsible for the mental anguish she caused him (especially at sentencing), just that when someone told him to watch out for her, at least that once, he shouldn't have been stubborn about it and listened to the advice from someone who he was lucky to have giving it. Female intuition alone, it was not, JA spent enough time around Sky at that point. I think Sky was over the top gracious at that point that she didn't just lose her cool at that moment.. My friends, would NOT be that lucky.
You can call me whatever name you'd like, least I tried.
