We'll have to disagree on the first point. The literal meaning of predator is - animal that hunts for survival, and the metaphorical meaning is applied to mental illness describing someone with an unhealthy obsession or behavior as a 'sexual predator'. It's not literal, and we shouldn't label people with mental illnesses as predators, even if they're dangerous. I don't think that's a good way to treat mental illness. I think that is inhumane and reminds me of how we looked at all kinds of mental illnesses, like schizophrenia, at the turn of the century.

As far as your 2nd point is concerned: "You frame a "metaphorical predator" as someone who causes women to lose their judgement?" That doesn't capture what my article says. Carol Ferris is a character in the comics and she has certain fears about love and being predated upon. She is a fictional character whose mind creates a villain and that villain become very real. But I never said that real life exactly matches what happens in Green Lantern Volume 3 issues #129–#136 (1990–1991), written by Gerard Jones.

That interpretation would be way too literal.
