I wasn't speaking to the specific case because of the guilty plea.

FWIW, I read somewhere (MRA site?) that woman-woman violence is particularly bad and particularly underreported.

And I don't know how to fix things either. You slap the hands of people making false claims, and legitimate victims clam up. You do nothing, and you encourage people like my ex wife.

Comment Let's not forget... (Score 1) 10

Getting rape prosecuted has long provided its own set of deeply frustrating difficulties, from belligerent questioning of accusers to blatant refusal to investigate claims.

Let's not forget the not insignificant problem of false claims. Are there as many as the MRA's claim? Doubtful. Are there as few as the feminists claim? Not a chance.

$10,000 isn't close to enough to be saving for later life. You only (typically) get about 35 years of working life, and most of us will get around 30-35 years as a pensioner. That means that you're currently setting yourself up to be living on $10,000 a year (assuming investment keeps up with inflation).

You must be European. Retirement age in the US ~67, no way 'most of us' are making it to late 90's.

To address the trees in your post rather than the forest:

I have two grease fittings on my car (added while my brother owned it). It's funny to point them out at the quick lube places. Really throws off their rhythm. (Usually do my own work on the car, but I've been without workspace for a while.)

Not sure how you would count it, but I'm on at least career number three, maybe as high as five.

The worst pissing contest at my workplace has a woman as one of the participants. She's retired army, so she's probably somewhat atypical.
