Just because Hadley puts shit on some merkin, doesn't make them a good bloke. You need to get over your hate of Hadley and his listeners and look at the people he's attacking.
This scumbag should have been punished. His life should be f**ked forever; there should be no second chances for a sex offender.
But because the merkin is from a culture where men control their families, his wife is allowing him to carry on as normal. She should have taken the fish and chip shop off him and thrown the merkin out on his arse. Instead she f**king covers for him. This is Australia, cobber, she doesn't have to put up with it. That means she's to blame for denying society justice.
But because Hadley attacks her she's now a virtuous victim. It's f**ken bullshit!
There isn't even a single sentence there that is properly responsive to the points I made before.
1. I never said he was a good bloke. Couldn't have been further.
2. I don't hate Hadley or his listeners. I don't respect him. I resent the level of influence he had over public opinion and political opinion especially. I don't think he is accountable on any way let alone to the standards he tries to hold people to.
3. Whether the husband should have received a harsher sentence is not the point. Sounds about right but the full facts taken into account by the court have not been disclosed. That was not part of my point in any way.
4. If there is a cultural influence at play it seems bizarre to blame an individual woman for her cultured and heavily influenced reaction, especially where there is no suggestion she was complicit in the offence before it happened.
5. The suggestion that she is to blame for denying society justice is so preposterous and unjustified that I can only presume I you are being provocative or ironic.
6. No one said she is a "virtuous victim" and suggesting that is an irresponsible rhetorical gimmick. What has been posited is that she has not committed a crime or acted in any way to justify the intensely personal attack on her - as opposed to her husband.
7. Treating the wife as the function or product of the husband appears to be a far worse example of patriarchal culture than you accuse her of pou.
8. Bottom line is - it's not fair. Not Hadley's attack or your critique.
7.
