You mean you fixed it for Inspector Bruce Scott of the Auckland Police?

Dammit.

Not really.

They fired you? Noooooooo. I don't want it, you can have it back.

You've got it backwards.

I don't doubt it in the least.

"Maybe it's not "bravery" they lack, but a sense of understanding that the police will do their fucking job and go after these little fuckstains before they cause something far worse to happen."

My favorite is the disingenuous response from misogynist trolls. "What, you're not saying that women who come forward aren't brave, are you?"

O hai, rapists!

I think you're way off base here. yvanehtnioj was being bitingly sarcastic, i.e., she agrees with you.

You win today's coveted Tragically Obtuse and Missing the Point awards.

Of course it does. But terrified teenagers don't deserve the implication that they're not brave.

If only "not well acquainted with dealing with survivors" didn't seem to be the default the world over. There could be a mass rape festival complete after which every single victim gave a statement, and going forward we'd still be hearing some version of, "Rape, what is it? DERP!" from law enforcement in that…

"Detective Inspector Bruce Scott put it this way: "None of the girls have been brave enough (emphasis mine) to make formal statements to us so we can take that to a prosecution stage."

That was Kylie — the other one. This one requested a 1976 Dodge truck for a car and was upset that the whole family always makes fun of her lack of glam. I'm not saying she won't turn out horrible anyway, but she does seem like the most naturally down to earth and likeable. Kendall's the sporty one who likes…

If/when I have kids, I plan on utilizing reverse psychology and guilt as much as possible.

A slow clap for your mention of economics and working class women, who are less likely to spend time parsing feminist theory or denouncing the very existence of porn.

I don't get it, either. It seems clear to me that she was a distraction to the cause, but I don't care for the far-more-strategic and pleasant Gloria Steinem, either. It's not Dworkin's physical appearance and image that I'm against. It's her stated views, her dogmatism, and her hypocrisy.

There is literally nothing in this world that creates Instant Douchebag like one of those stupid tall hats with the flat brim. As if Biebs needed any help in that department.

I can't help but think that America's teen starts would all be better off with British handlers. As long as they are not Simon Cowell.
