mono-stereo I said you might refair to the latter a sex pest
That doesn’t seem how alistair could have been using the term though.
Although you still “might” refer to someone who’d been a rapist as a “sex pest” it doesn’t seem the most obvious term to use.
Unless alistair already somehow knew that Brand had “always” committed lots of sexual assault and rape, then it can’t have been he was using the term “sex pest” as synonymous with someone who commits lots of rape and sexual assault. In which case, he must have been using the term to describe something else.
He actually gave the example of the video above which generally just shows Brand flirting. I would say a term which can and is used to describe anything from flirting to rape is imprecise, sloppy and dangerously vague.
It would mean that anyone who does just sleeps with a lot of people by flirting, can be lazily lumped together with rapists. It does therefore need to be specified precisely what a person means when they try and label someone a “sex pest”.
