No, aside from me living in a totally different time zone, Kinja wasn’t showing any replies to your comment at all, which is why I responded. They loaded way after it was too late to revise mine. Kinja gotta kinja.

There’s definitely shades of Castro and other basement rapists reports that are informing this set up.

I’m not Pakistani and my Urdu is pretty poor, but I do live in Karachi, and interact with men like this all the time. (In fact, the woman in that Twitter screenshot is a friend of mine.)

The title says “should” not “will” or “probably”. It’s just the author’s opinion on how the storyline should go and not at all a spoiler.

You’re not misremembering — I was the head moderator, and eventually took over Groupthink and Powder Room. I’m still involved, just not as much as I used to be.

Yes, which is also referred to as South Asia or the Asian subcontinent. I live there.

Pakistanis are not Middle Eastern, they’re from South Asia.

True Lies. But he was only a fake secret agent.
