Transphobic US senator was sex trafficker.

[DonnaBe]

He got 15 years. Is it enough?

Men eh. Best keep them out of women's spaces.

Thank you for adding to the wealth of evidence of what evil men are capable of.

Oh look Another Man

I was interested in the sentence he got. It seems a bit lenient to me.

Absolutely this.

I think it's really interesting from the POV that abusers often hide in plain sight, as we woman know

And pretend to be what they are not

Sometimes even pretending to be proud upstanding members of the community

Even politicians.

Yes, isn’t it so very strange all the men pretending that they are proud upstanding members (that was deliberate btw) of the community

I think this is peak trans logic (you are trans, aren't you Donna?)

Bloke is a paedophile
Bloke held an unrelated opinion I don't like
Therefore all people who hold said unrelated opinion are paedophiles!

Nice.

Best to start with something suggesting correlation if you're going to try this shit.

I think that cases like this and DC give weight to monitoring politicians porn use to catch any child abuse image usage. Such evil men should not be allowed to have any input into government or political parties.
They should have to sign up to have all internet use monitored. Might stop a few sleaze bags from entering politics.

Funny how this logic is fine when trans people are on the receiving end of it. But not when it connects transphobes with chikdcsex traffickers.

I don't think anyone has said trans people are paedophiles. Except when, obviously, they are (ie with convictions for it).

Did anyone see Bakeoff? I think it was very fair to not SPOILER ALERT send anyone home today. And did anyone think the tutu one looked like some terrible slasher movie?

Personally, I would have said that 'pedophile sex trafficker' was the worst thing about him.

I sometimes agree with what Ricky gervais says, does this mean I will become a millionaire comedian. I am quite excited.

Why is that relevant? This senator committed an awful series of crimes.

Is 15 years enough?

Does his position make the crime even more odious? Position of trust etc...l

Surprised to see the OP here - they've just been in the Guardian comments moaning about FWR for standing up for the rights of women

This is the go to manual on predators. I recommend it as a grim but necessary read.
The conclusion is that predators are mostly male, and tend to look for positions of power in institutions with weak safeguarding.

Haven’t seen it yet, I’m away in Belgium tonight.

Anyone got a good soup recipe?

If my 2yo has too long a nap he gets very excited about being allowed to watch Bake Off. Tonight he loved the roulades. I really hope he will grow up to be a cake baker as I'm rubbish at cooking!

Well he would know better than many what devious and abusive acts men are capable of. An informed opinion one might say.
