"Questions to the IPCA at the time noted that it was understood the officer had been stood down pending an investigation into his alleged inappropriate behaviour with female officers."

NOTE: female officerS, plural

Yet the investigation has gone nowhere after THREE YEARS!!!

“Nearly 300,000 minors, under age 18, were legally married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2018, this study found. A few were as young as 10”

Hell. 🤢

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Speaking as 1 individual of 5 million New Zealanders, I would like the NZ Government to rescind Peter Thiels "free but probably bribed" NZ passport, refuse him access to NZ and remove all business links between NZ and his companies.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Imo, it appears as if the Police have been forced to apologise but still want to send women a message “don’t come after us for sexual assault/harassment/abuse because WE WILL come after you”. Misogny in action.

“A few bad apples” is always used to deflect criticism of systemic problems in NZ.

Schopenhauer’s entropy is a more realistic way to think about it: “If you put a spoonful of wine in a barrel full of sewage, you get sewage. If you put a spoonful of sewage in a barrel full of wine, you get sewage.”

Fair question - abusers aren't born. They're carefully made and get a lot of practice before (if) they're caught. "One and done" isn't how any of this works, not matter how deep and wide the denial is.
The thing that strikes me when reading the IPCA report is how early on McSkimming set a narrative to discredit his victim and protect himself from consequences. It seemed very calculated. Which makes me wonder: how many times has he done this? How many other victims are there?

Are we surprised about the 'Boys Club' attitudes in the NZ Police?? Not me.
It's pervasive in New Zealand!
In politics.
In large NZ corporations.
Certainly witnessed it in Air New Zealand. Such a joke seeing Luxon calling out this behaviour.
Luxon's a total 'Boys Club' operative.

breathalyser reports. I mean, we're not all paedophiles preying on the general populace from positions of power, but maybe we need a cold, hard, look in the societal mirror.
Note: it is not drag queens or women doing this stuff so maybe men should take the longest, coldest look.

Righto, we had 50 years of state sanctioned child abuse, we had a former Minster of Immigration under investigation for sexual abuse of children, we have the former Act party pres. convicted of sexual abuse, we had a collection of top police men covering for sex offenders, we had cops making false

Reposting this for no reason other than that I also read Irving Stone’s Agony/Ecstasy at 13 and… was indeed changed by it
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
