    Thanks, I appreciate the catch up!

    Much happier to hear the meme isn’t anything to do with creepy unfuckable dudes who imagine it’s only a matter of time until teenager pussy is theirs. Seems there’s a lot of those around in this timeline… mostly in the age bracket about 15-20 years older than me (I’m mid 40s) where I live, which makes it my turn (as it always fuckin was) to call them out.

    Only this time I’m a dad of teenagers, and I’ve practised martial arts and being very firm with my words (when necessary) in my working life for decades.

    Turns out these “men” are absolute cowards and the best action so far is seemingly to do almost nothing, as they preemptively out themselves by protesting too hard to completely uninvolved people in our local community. We shall see.

    Anyway that’s been my year this year, helping my aunty-friend escape from one such shitty relationship full of lies and deception. So I’m particularly sensitive about this topic at the moment.

    Glad to hear I totally didn’t get the context of the meme!

    Right, time to touch grass. Cheers!
