fascinating.
a regular commenter on this site spends a couple of hours and four comments on a Sunday lunchtime spewing out National Front/BNP-type drivel. makes Winston Peters look subtle.
and the reaction?
bugger all. apart from Keir, Joe, dc_red and a couple of others.
kudos to the ones who called this bullshit for what it is.
fascinating.(and to Tom S: fuck you, you anglophile, xenophobic, ignorant, white supremacist piece of shit)

no, no, you weren't wasting your breath. it was an interesting perspective. but your earlier comments did come across as having the wrong end of the stick. about who Emma's essay was about. and how she wanted people reading to experience it. she wanted the reader to put themselves in someone else's shoes. empathise. that's all. maybe re-read her essay if you think it worth your time.
have a nice evening!

"Perhaps this pretense is evidence that you're still trying to escape from something."
well, that seems pretty offensive, prima facie.

Well it's not my story.
the story is written in a way that asks the reader to imagine he or she is the woman in the story. no one said the story is about you. can you imagine? do you have empathy? if yes and yes, then there does not seem to be a problem.

...when i was a kid my mum used to tell me about her second cousin who had this amazing yacht called the Buccaneer...and point it out at the regattas...
...when i was at university, a friend's mum worked at Crown Lynn. you can imagine the high opinion she had of the asset strippers...
...sort of like the high opinion i had when the Auckland Star was closed and my mum lost her contracting job of over 20 years...
