I've read that before. It pisses me off now just as much as it did the last time.
This sentence just infuriates me: Why aren't there more stories of "the guy who got me home when I was seriously drunk and my boyfriend wasn't looking out for me"?
You know why those stories don't exist? For the same reason that the stories of "the dog that didn't bite me" don't exist. That's the norm. That's what people expect. Stories of dogs that bite and car rides that don't end in crashes and men who don't rape aren't news, because they're representative of the way things generally are.
I am too incensed about this to be civil for very long, so I won't continue much further. But my god, what an arrogant piece of work that woman must be to write this crap up.
Current mood: Anger, with occasional fits of rage and righteousness.
