Yeah, it’s like someone saying “yeah that guy attacker me on the alley, but I have a black belt so I got away...all those other women need to get black belts too....that attacker and I grabbed a Starbucks afterward because he was so impressed by my skills. Turns out he’s a sweetie!”

Better a dipshit than a rapist

the GOP let the horse out of the barn a long time ago but only now is closing the doors. Except it wasn’t really a horse, but a mangy goat covered in rotten marmalade who thinks he’s a unicorn.

Just a little quibble (because I am the type of person who cares deeply about these things...) Wrinkle in Time is a Middle Grade novel, not YA. Middle Grade is for ages about 8 to 12.
