  2. I was a rape counselor a while back. Everything you said was true, but it’s so much worse. I could tell you stories about the way police and the courts treated these women and it was horrifying. Think of all the things you’ve heard men say about women and intensify them 1000%. Then, imagine police saying those things to a 55-year-old school teacher who woke up in bed with a man straddling her, a 25-year-old woman doing a school internship in a Corrections halfway house after she’d been held hostage by one of the inmates all night, a 46-year-old woman who was on her way to work and dragged into bushes. I also worked with children who were sexually abused. Research has shown that 64% of court officials believe that mothers lie about it and the kids are treated in court the way rape victims are treated. If you covered this issue, it would be like your police brutality stories. Nothing has changed.

    1. Probably not so funny for the cat.

      Humans drag wild animals to live in their homes, then are SHOCKED when animal behaves in an animal-like fashion. Solution: Beat the shit out of it. Advice: Keep flat stone handy when knuckle-dragging instincts arise.

  4. one way to defeat your computer’s microphone is to plug a clipped off headphone jack into the microphone plug
