I don't normally even react to things like this on the DM comments because it is what I expect from them. I'm glad someone thinks it's worth blogging about rather than that we should just accept it. As the blogger says, these comments have already been moderated....

Oh wow, I didn't know the mail moderated it's comments.

Mostly just to make sure people don't say fuck or call each other wankers. Rather unlike here.

nope, can't be that, because we all know rape apologists are notoriously bad at arithmetic (believing false accusations are more common than actual rapes etc).

it depresses me a lot when the Guardian is as bad as the Mail.

with the rape thing of course, it's not that they aren't capable of empathy, it's that they are so busy empathising with perpetrators or alleged perpetrators that they forget to empathise with the victim.
