As a side-note: even when double-checking a few details (since I wanted to state where news reports claimed the culprits allegedly originated from accurately) I found the horrible news that women were being advised to stay “more than an arm’s length away” from strangers. That's a statement from Cologne's mayor and thankfully there's a counter-statement from the federal minister criticising it, noting that we are not going back to the days where women are advised not to wear miniskirts.
That's why we need strident feminism, even if it sometimes results in little Tumblristas typing, "DIE CIS SCUM" and complaining that your fave is problematic. Because here in Canada, when there is a high profile rape, we regularly have the cops advising young women to dress modestly and "take precautions," as if such a thing is possible. And it's earnest left-wingers gonna put a stop to that foolishness, not moderates.
