Sherlock | Veronica
I don't really know the other Sherlocks very well. I've never talked to the one, and the other seems to dismiss me, so I tend to be inclined towards you more by default. In any case, I'm only surprised because it seemed to be a bit in contrary to your personality, but on reflection, it would make sense that you would often prefer professionals. There isn't anything wrong with that, only in the men that take advantage of the fact that it's illegal to abuse women.
I couldn't agree more. It's symptomatic of a diseased society that is on the one hand puritanical but on the other completely in denial about how puritanical it is. I'm of the opinion that education about how to protect women needs to start with a better education for men about what it means to have informed consent and their responsibilities in a just society and not just with teaching women 'how to protect themselves'. Trust me, some of those 'common sense rules' are bullshit and put the onus on women to protect them against crimes against themselves.
I might just have a bit too much personal experience...
