My nails are so soft! It's driving me crazy. I spend so much time filing them because they're always splitting and catching on something. And I'm fairly sure it's why I can't hold a manicure for 24 hours. I get enough calcium, dammit!
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm with Jars. There are damaged people (men and women) out there who treat others (men and women) badly. And there is a specific segment of society that preys on women and gays and chidren. I want them all locked up. But, you know, that's all the news ever reports on--the fucked up individuals. When I think of the men I know and have known, they almost all treat the women in their lives with respect and affection. That daily behavior never gets reported and it gets overshadowed by the actions of the worst of humanity.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I only know two men well, who aren't family.

I've honestly never felt like victimisation like this is a gender problem. I tend to see it as a human problem, I guess. I don't view it as a men vs. women sort of thing.
Well, I don't recall hearing that the lacrosse team assaulted the guy who delivered their pizza. Because that would have been a crime, you know, wrong and shit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sad thing is, Ransone could legitimately face assault charges of his own. A co-kravver was charged with assault by his attacker a couple weeks ago. Shit ain't right.
I have to admit that the fact that he broke someone else's window to get at the guy so he could keep beating on him, after a chase, and after the danger to the woman was over, smacks of vigilantism to me. eta: That doesn't take away from the Yay him for stopping the attack, but it's a slippery slope.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There are plenty of locals who want him for a practice dummy first.

Well, the police have arrested several of them and obtained search warrants, so THEY think it's a crime.

But do you really think they assaulted the woman in question because they're men? Personally, I think they assaulted her because they're shitty examples of humanity, and what can go wrong with it.
I'm entirely willing to admit that my views on this may have been coloured by personal experience, incidentally.

Deleted, because pissed as I am at the Durham folks (not Durham Buffistas, just some moronic blog commentators) who've been saying exotic dancers have it coming, it was still damn obnoxious. Even for me.
