My mother survived walking through Hiroshima the day after as a 13 year old, so I have a fair idea of what a nuclear holocaust looks and feels like.

Is it good when a major international news organization is actively soliciting stories about people leaving your country because the government has fucked it so hard?

You don’t at all. I think you’re having a legitimate response to an ongoing problem in NZ - men in positions of power and the male led orgs that employ them - whether it’s rugby players or ‘prominent’ business people, or countless other men who seldom face the consequences of abusing women or kids.

I might sound like some psycho man-hating woman but my dad never remotely behaved badly like this, nor my anyone in my close family. I had former boyfriends who’d come out fighting over other male bullshit behaviour.
Seriously, what the fuck happened to men?? 🤷♀️

Absolutely horror IPCA report on how the Police handled complaints against McSkimming.
A woman, who said she had a sexual relationship with him when she was 21 and he was 40, made complaints about him and instead of taking it seriously they prosecuted her under the HDCA.
