I don't respect people who talk about rape in a way that makes it seem like a small issue.
She respects him for some things, but not for others. I think that's acceptable if the person in question is critical and self-aware.

I'm certain that my biggest inspirations in life have committed acts or wrongs against others that I don't agree with or respect, but I don't believe it invalidates any positive qualities they might have*. Everybody on this planet is a mixed bag, and I accept that.

Disclaimer: There are, of course, wrongs that can be committed that might overshadow positive qualities, and these will vary for everyone. I didn't mean to imply that my hero-worship knows no bounds.
