Hm, maybe I’m into sickly looking women j/k, cause I was thinking how well you looked in that pic Jill. You really look good imo.

Take care and keep kickin’ ass!!

Speed, I think Cathy’s take was totally on the money, but my last post is stuck in the mod queue for some reason.

spiders & incognotter: Do you suppose she was watching Maury Povic and decided some “tough love” was in the cards? I swear, the way they parse a thirteen-year-old’s sexual behavior on that show is positively disgusting.

I’ve never seen a talk show about the sex lives of all the boys and men who are sleeping with these sluttyMcSlutsluts. Of course not. It’s okay to sleep around as a guy. I always wondered if the patriarchy would prefer if there were only five or ten women they were allowed to sleep with over and over again in order to get their “stud” creds. But then, who wants Sloppy Seconds? Need that fresh pootang, and if it means that the girl/woman attached becomes untouchable by your own standards, so be it.

What a weird, sick world. And I think Cathy hit the nail on the head. At least the girl will have practiced that humiliated feeling and might be more calm in future being grilled about totally irrelevant sexual details just to titillate the judge and make the jury feel superior.

You’re so right, Cathy, about how Sandilands’ response reflects society’s response to rape victims. Still, I’m trying not to focus on the mum too much, given that she too was socialised into accepting rape culture, like we all are, plus the fact that there is already a long queue of people ready to blame her over Sandilands.

After hearing the “interview,” which was clearly child abuse (she was there against her will), it occurred to me that the fuckwad was demonstrating to the girl exactly what will happen to her if she ever accuses a man of rape: She will be grilled about “other sexual experiences” in order for the defense to claim she really is just a slut who wanted it and therefore the man must be innocent. Her feelings will be of concern to no one.

The mother was really sick to put her child through that, and she lied when they asked her whether her daughter had told her about having sex. I wish we could take the girl away to Savage Death Island, full of spinster aunts to undo the damage.

I’ll never understand why some people find that crap and reality shows entertaining. It’s like the boy entertained by the suffering of the mouse being bitten by the centipede. Pure schadenfreude.

Thanks to those of you who provided a summary of the radio situation, thus allowing me to not click on the link, and thereby postponing my inevitable head explosion. Best wishes to this unfortunate girl.

Meanwhile, just to remind us that vulvas aren’t automatically a locus of all that is nasty (either by those who hate and fear female parts, or by those who hate and fear female parts and abuse them), Jill: how is Franny’s innocent but somewhat unusual vulva? Also, is Bert all recovered from being porcupined? No flashbacks, I hope.

I swear folks should have a license to parent except I cannot imagine trusting the state with that decision. Can you imagine what asses the dudetheocorporatocracy would hold up as the ideal of parenting? Urk.

I’m happy to say that the fucknozzle in question has been suspended for now!

Speed, it pains me to say this but the mum took the child there with the very intention of allowing her to be grilled over her “difficult” behaviour, specifically drug use, missing school and sex.
