Agree with a lot of this. Especially the mocking of women's concerns, which seems to have spiraled into the idea that if you're worried about crime you're a racist at worst, and at best just some kind of idiot overracting. Being told that as a taxpayer (and voter) you have no right to expect the authorities to keep you safe - and in fact that it's wrong for you to ask! - is pretty galling.
