@CatherinaJTV

What she said is being misrepresented, but y'all do you.
So what did she say and mean?

True crime aficionados will be able to produce an infinite list of examples, I'm sure

Here are two more right of the top of my head. The recent netflix documentaries The Tinder Swindler and The Puppetmaster

Oh, and who could forget Abducted in Plain Sight?

Appalling … Robison and pal Sturgeon covering for abusive men … and their methods to predate … and this on the anniversary of Sarah Everard s ‘ arrest’ … women of Scotland will have to pay for this betrayal.

littlbrowndog · 05/03/2022 22:22

Celtic boys clubs. Tennis coaches. The list goes on.

Robison can’t see any of this n

Nope nothing to see here Robison

How is it being misrepresented Catherina? She said there is no evidence that “predatory and abusive men have ever had to pretend to be anything else to carry out abusive and predatory behaviour”.

I suppose if you're splitting hairs you could say that they didn't 'have to' pretend to be anything else. But the fact remains that many predatory and abusive men do pretend to be all sorts of things to carry out their crimes.

And in the context of self-ID do you really think none of these men will pretend to be transwomen in order to gain easier access to victims?

Please don't 'yall' me. I can't stand it. Thank you.

@nomoremsniceperson

I mean Larry fucking Nassar anyone?

The studied and affected naivete of these morons in government is starting to wear really bloody thin

You don't even have to search as far as the US for pedo abusers in sport. There's George Gibney, national/Olympic swim coach in Ireland and Barry Bennell, Bob Higgins and George Ormond of Crewe, Chelsea and Newcastle football clubs. And that's the tip of the iceberg.

Shona Robison was subjected to what sounded like a horrible ordeal from a stalker. Another reason I am surprised she made such clueless and offensive comments. I suppose the stalker was making threats and maybe not 'pretending' anything, but in general I'm sure she is aware of the exceptional lengths abusive men will/can go to.

That’s is zombie. Yet Robison and the msps clapping her in Scottish government seem to have not one clue on safeguarding

@DomesticatedZombie yep, it's horrendous.

@nomoremsniceperson

I remember Lisa Muggeridge saying in one of her videos that when she was at lectures training to be a social worker the lecturer said statistically at least 2 people in the room were there explicitly with the intention of gaining access to vulnerable kids.
I'm sorry, not your fault, nor Lisa's, but that makes me want to be sick.
