It's a very familiar story, but it's othered in a really disquieting way. I'm glad to see *someone* calling that.<br /><br />(The way the media has focused on the teenage girls who were murdered and practically ignored their murdered stepmother is creepy too. What, it's only interesting if cute young Westernised women are victims?)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432218062519321962noreply@blogger.com
