Brickbat: Should Have Nipped It in the Bud

Jacksonville, Florida, sheriff's office Deputy Alejandro Carmona-Fonseca was charged with online solicitation of a child, transmission of harmful material to a child, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device after a high school boy said the deputy sent obscene images to him via Snapchat. But a local media investigation has found that before this incident, during his 15 years in the department, Carmona-Fonseca was the subject of 28 complaints from citizens and other officers, ranging from improper action to unbecoming conduct to traffic offenses. More than half of those complaints were upheld, and Carmona-Fonseca received five referral letters or written reprimands and 15 counseling sessions, among other disciplinary actions.

Don't Say Gay bill already paying dividends.

Thank God he wasn't a member of the Clergy or a Scoutmaster. Then we might actually have to punish the institution for fifteen years of feckless wrist-slapping and passing around responsibility for harboring and enabling a pedophile.

[Agammamon]

We'll, the thing is, none of those organizations or people were punished in any meaningful way either.

Look at you with your details and evenhanded retelling of reality. 🙂

Slight disagreement with O'Niell. I think he'd agree, by his own precepts, that having a penis makes one male (or a cervix; female) but it takes considerably more than that to be a man or a woman. What is really needed is for a 6' 4" Michael Phelps to call out a Lia Thomas for skirting the rules to beat up on categorically weaker opponents. Unfortunately, rather than breeding that ethos into their daughters, lots of modern feminists seem to have bred it out of their sons.

"Unfortunately, rather than breeding that ethos into their daughters, lots of modern feminists seem to have bred it out of their sons."

And then complain "there are no good men left".

I think the ones complaining about a lack of good men (for that reason) are mostly not the same group of women. Toxic feminists don't care about good men, just about asserting their power.

Women who are drawn to men who do things, make things, are leaders, or are in some other ways traditionally masculine are caught in the crossfire.

I can accept that nitpick, though it feels like wandering into the sort of fine grained slicing that the left likes. People in the 1950s might have made the same distinction, but if you could have gotten them to understand why you were even trying to make the point, they wouldn't be confused by your use of the term "Man".

But I'll definitely agree that none of the people mentioned in that article who refer to their "girldicks" are "Men".

No, the two are different topics entirely. Male vs female is biology, fair competition, and privacy/safety in toilets and locker rooms; man vs child is manners and growing up.
