Daily Fail's take on Foxy Knoxy

After demonising her since her arrest, fanning the flames of her "guilt", because she dared to have multiple sexual partners (relevancy? It's 2009 not 1799), wrote some "dark" stories and kissed her boyfriend after the murder of her flatmate, the Daily Fail has a sudden change of heart:

Typical.

Guilty or not the facts are what we should have focussed on from day one. Gotta keep the story alive. Sordid murder and potential miscarriages of justice sell papers right? Any shares for sale?

Why do I read this shit?

He disapproves

And I approve of his disapproval.

Stop buzzing

Brain stopping buzzing.

It's too late for me to grow two inches, huh? Unless we count outwards.

Good lord stop the buzz.

Give me that McQueen bag or give me... Well nothin'.

The night makes you pay

Why does the memory of the smell of dried clay make me sad?

Painted with a face, a personality, blind eyes and speechless mouth. It cannot speak for it is a figurine but it says a lot in my memory.

All it takes is a song to take me back. It's a funny ride. Strange and powerful.

Andrew O'Keefe...Who would've thought?

"By virtue of being raised a man in our society, most men will have contributed to the problem in some way over the years. I can think of countless times in my own life when I've laughed at sexist jokes, for example, even when I felt uncomfortable, just because I felt too small to speak up. Or when I've seen friends or colleagues disparage their partners and been too embarrassed to say anything.

I've known people who were living in situations of abuse and had no idea what to do, and consequently did very little. And I admit that at times in my life, I've behaved in ways that fell somewhere on the spectrum between insensitive and scurrilous, ways that have been hurtful to women I love, and excused that behaviour on the basis that, well, that's what men are like, and it didn't really mean anything anyway.

But it does mean something. Every time I behave that way, I am supporting the belief that men have rights and privileges greater than those of women, or that somehow men have a special place in the world that isn't shared by women. It doesn't mean that I beat my wife. But for many men, that belief is the basis of the notion that it's OK to beat your wife, that it's OK to run your partner down, or to treat women merely as objects of sex. Because those forms of abuse are all based on the notion of male power and privilege." from The Age
