Dead right.

It was not my intention, and I do apologise if I expressed myself in a way that retraumatised you.

I think no such thing, and if you got that impression from what I wrote then I must have expressed myself extremely badly.

Sexual assault sucks, no matter who does it, nor to whom. You deserve justice for what happened to you.

Here is the point I was trying to make:

• More men are convicted for sexual assault than women.

• Sharing pictures of a child’s penis without consent sucks. Maybe it’s sexual assault. Even if not, I believe it is a bad thing to do.

• Some women do it anyway, and they get away with it because they’re not seen as the sexual assault demographic. This sucks.

I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. I do not think that the statistics of abuser demographics should be relevant to their prosecution. That is a different thing to the thing I was talking about.

I’ll take that as a no. Blocked then.

I think it’s generally agreed that repeated experiences are a good way of making time pass faster: your brain recognises a situation and says “I’m not needed here; I’ll fast-forward to something more challenging”. Binge TV you’ve already seen. When I was in your situation I listened to a lot of radio plays, audio books and podcast series.

Do keep running and exercising. Can you ride a bike? Building up some familiar routes might help pass the time in a healthy way.

I am sorry to hear that you’re feeling low. It’s the new epidemic. Hang in there and I do hope life gets more enjoyable in time.

Would totally.

Tick. Tick. Tick. *gets it Ahh dammit.

Because the overwheling majority of sexual assault convictions are of men. It’s true.

Laughing at a child’s penis still sucks though.

How about nobody does it unless the subject is consenting?

Do you know that a bot is?

🙏🙏 Aaaahh too late dammit.

No smoke without fire.

They’re good for Hama beads.

Visage did a cover version of it in 1979

Seems a shame to slurp all that power and then keep the titties to yourself.

Oh I see. So he was like a proto-American Brian Blessed.

Non American here: I don’t get it. How many cocks did Washington have?

Counterpoint: Bollocks though. Most of the disinformation was to appeal to people’s desire for authoritarianism in Trump’s case, and border control in Brexit’s. With plenty of bleedover, of course, because it’s all from the same playbook.

But, in that hypothetical, it would be true to say that 70% of Americans support fascism. Which is unpleasant to have to accept.

I learned at the Brexit referendum that 52% of my countrymen are so racist they’d wreck their own economy to reduce immigration. I have to live with that. I live in a racist country.
