I agree with Sara AND just because you say that another man has said men are pigs, mc, doesn't mean that is a FACT. Even if it is a fact if LO wants to date platonically surely it is what goes on in her mind that is what is between her and God not what is going on in any perverted male mind of the guy she dates.
Her H has been cruel in the extreme and anything that makes Olive feel better about herself is good in my book. She has shown nothing but strength and integrity in the face of great adversity; I don't see her changing her views now. She does however deserve some light relief and support and personally I believe there are men out there who have stronger moral fibre that you are implying mc.
