I do agree with Oger that this is a symbolic act.
First, Oger threatens to kill off the service. Now, Oger is offering to come in and help 'educate' Vancouver Rape Relief. Can anyone honestly see this as anything other than an abusive threat? Forgive me if this is sensitive, but I can't see this act as anything other than a metaphorical rape.
It's so visceral to me, I can't understand how it's not utterly, glaringly obvious. How can a government go along with this? Women go along with this? We KNOW that tone. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
