..it comes from the same mindset that gave us “rape rape”...
Actually, this is more “mental date rape.” This dumb broad is madly in love with this psychotic poseur, and no matter what he does, she’ll protect him and find some way of explaining it away and saying it really wasn’t actual, true, honest to goodness rape... he’s just misunderstood. She’s like the twits who visit serial killers in prison.
But don’t blame it on her on her being a woman. All of the guy reporters in the US are on the same wavelength.
