What a sad outcome for a brave individual who decided to come forward. Toxic hegemonic masculinity allows sexual predators like Prince Andrew to exist and permeates our institutions the Police, Monarchy, Justice system, BBC, CofE, Catholic Church etc, it needs to stop. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At last! I worry how much influence the BBC have at higher levels of the justice system. It appears to be less about the victims and justice, and more about protecting the reputation of the BBC. Like other institutions they were implicit in 'looking the other way'

Recent paper- with unexpected and puzzling results. No surprise many parents were anxious or depressed. Did not expect lower levels of empathy and skill from workers with those parents
Maybe unempathic workers increase parental anxiety and depression?
