@Ada_Grrrl I'm so sorry that happened. That's really awful, and goes totally against my "Stop trying to Fix Things In My Life I Never Asked You To" philosophy.
@Ada_Grrrl My assumption is that it all stems from plain old misogyny. Feminine men are ridiculed as being 'lesser' masculine women as acting 'above their station '
@jj__george@Ada_Grrrl Police exist to enforce the might of the state and property rights of the rich. They are authoritarian by nature, and in a society that is plummeting towards Auth-Right, why would someone see those laws as worth enforcing? How to process that her friend is a class traitor.
@Ada_Grrrl That's hard. My cousin is in the police force, and admittedly I haven't spoken to him some nice he joined (not deliberately, we were just never close) the sad thing is that it's one of the few jobs these days that comes with anything approaching a real pension.
@annoraaqoon I do, but the magnet doesn't fit through the spark plug hole. I've ordered a different one that will, which means I'll be leaving the bike in bits overnight.
