So. Much. Fail.

Humanityfail.

And guys? This -- THIS -- is why women may not trust you. No matter how good a guy you may be, no matter how much we may like you. Because we have no way of telling, while asswipes like this are out there.

oddly, the link is perfectly coded...but LJ is refusing to accept it. Now it's working.

thanks, now, if men rape, then we should fix it so they cant, since they seem to be the real source of the problem. So, lets just "cut this off" at the pass as it were.

Sexual assault isn't always done with flesh-on-flesh. Neutering a guy, however pleasant it may be to contemplate when considering a rapist, doesn't remove the violence or the self-justification we're seeing there.

I wish I could say this was un-fucking-believable, but the fact is, I believe it all too well.

I'll be reposting this in my lj.

Maybe what we need is for men to stop drinking so much around women.

Or maybe Dallas Police Chiefs need to stop drinking so much around journalists...

Also, isn't the good officer perpetuating the false stereotype that rapists are strangers?

No problem, I understand. And I realize that actions speak louder than words, as nice as some of them may be coming from my half of the chromosome pool.

It is Dallas, after all. Unfortunate but not surprising in the least. The misogynistic attitude is par for the course down there and is one of the reasons I fled Texas as quickly as I could.

OK. I can't get passed the title of the article link. It just pissed me off too much to be able to read it. THE HELL?!?!?!?

Say what? That is.... Bah. That's one police chief who needs serious education.
