Your brain tells you that people who *look like* elfin little girls are harmless, that they're the recipients of trauma and pain rather than inflicting it, that you have a hardwired moral duty to protect and nurture and save them That part of your brain is fucking stupid

"Or you feel a visceral discomfort because they literally *physically* remind you of your own children, or yourself at a younger age If they didn't, you wouldn't care"

I glanced at this pic & thought for a second it was Sarah Everard (a London woman whose kidnapping is spurring lots of conversation). The talk is valuable & desperately needed, but I'm uncomfortable that a photogenic white woman is the one missing woman the press cares about.

I actually wish they had professional witnesses like, say, a skinny white woman, that could be presented to the jury as the defendant. Yes I realize this is inherently racist, but I feel the struggle to get fairer jury verdicts might be advanced a lot.
