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.

Well, either expert testimony or a transphobic bore screeching about it on Xitter.

How can she not see the projection? Do people get their ability to not tell on themselves removed when they cast that magical first Tory vote?

Sorry our leaders suck.

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.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

How about nobody does it unless the subject is consenting?

Do you know that a bot is?

Updated advice. It's a long shot, but it's worth trying to force the Tories into third place. Share with your local friends.

It's never a "no" though, is it?

Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

Where are the dystopias?
