Officer she said my joke wasn’t funny
I feel like Stanley on The Office [US version] saying “Have you lost your damn mind?”
“Has someone said something that made you feel bad? Tell the police.”
It literally says that. It literally says that.

I feel like Stanley on The Office [US version] saying “Have you lost your damn mind?”
“Has someone said something that made you feel bad? Tell the police.”
It literally says that. It literally says that.
“We did not call the police.” Me neither, look at all those missed opportunities to punish other people for my bad feelings. I wonder if they have enough staff to process the inevitable flood of complaints.
This is in a country where rape has effectively been decriminalized. I guess playing pattycake with hurt feelings is easier than responding to violent crime.

Yeah “slim” is putting it extremely mildly. We’ve talked about it a bunch of times. A tiny percentage of rapes are even reported; a tiny percentage of those are prosecuted; a tiny percentage of those result in convictions. As people keep saying, rape is basically decriminialized in the UK. I don’t think it’s much (if at all) better in the US.
Much easier to solve “Lady said mean things to me on the High Street.”
As I started reading this list, I knew what would be missing from it: SEX. So ladies, take it from the police: harassment, assault, rape are “nothing personal.” Don’t bother calling.
Multiply this by 100 had “sex” been included on the list.
Sex is invariably missing, because it’s not on the official list.
I think maybe there is some ambiguity about it, because of the presence of “gender” on the official list. Gender is very often (at least colloquially) used as a synonym for sex, so it seems possible that sex is not on the list because the list-makers decided it was already there, under the sign “gender.”
… And only a tiny percentage of convictions result in punishment.
Peak DARVO is only reached when a trans-identifying man argues that, because only men can commit rape, to accuse him of rape is to misgender him.
(And, of course, the misgendering is prosecuted but not the rape).
