@mariner4life While I think the article is crap, I know from personal experience that there is a strata of society that will glad break every rule to suit themselves and get very aggressive when called out over it. Red light runners, disabled parking cheats, parking on footpath's - they should all share a circle of hell for their behaviour.
oh, i don't disagree, people are fuckheads.
But big muscle man in his big ute sounds a lot like fantasy.
She's old and angry at 24 , I wonder how much stuff pays for an opinion piece? Most of them seem to be as based in reality as a penthouse forum letter "Dear stuff , I never thought I'd be writing to you but I saw a big heavily muscled man park his truck in a disabled park......."

I can sort of understand her point
Life must be very tiring and frustrating if you look for, and thus find, oppression, discrimination, and victimisation in every singe aspect of your life. Combine that with an expectation that you are special, and can do what ever you want if you just put your mind to it, and expectation you are starting to learn is not the truth at all, and you have a recipe for a downtrodden life.
Choose life Verity. Choose life.

@jegga Self-indulgent, mediocre straight white girl sings the blues after realising people don't find her funny or interesting and she might SHOCK HORROR actually have to get off her chuff to achieve something. I pity her older friends.
I've been reading a few of her other articles, she shares the same lack of self awareness/self obsession/woke/veering into parody style of writing as Millie Holmes and Lizzie Marvelly . Here's a favourite quote
"It's also likely you had a bad experience with feminism at some point. I get it. I went to Honolulu in January and was so disgusted that I swore I'd rather spend a weekend in a K Mart queue. But I'm told that Hawaii, the real Hawaii, is paradise. And just as Honolulu is not Hawaii, one angry woman who once burnt a bra on your uni campus is not feminism."
Lets give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she's our very own Titiana McGrath, the alternative -that she's actually for real is too depressing .

@jegga Can't help picturing her still living with her parents, yelling at her mum for bringing in her washed and ironed laundry cos she was RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH ABOUT OPPRESSION.
But she is oppressed Mokey people tailgate her because she's a girl.
BECAUSE SHES A GIRL

@jegga I'm afraid I can't put myself through reading another article of hers, but even from that opening, that is an impressive level of narcissism combined with a complete lack of self-awareness of what a twat she comes across as with these really bizarre 'the world is against me' rants.

Who drives around nearly constantly shouting ? How is driving painful angry and exhausting ? Thats just weird .
I might be going out on a limb her but I suspect "checking for tailgaters' is an excuse for constantly looking into the mirror as she drives.

Can't believe I'm writing this ... I actually agree with almost all she says. I can do without the woe is me BS, but the rest I think is quite fair.
My parents have a Highlander and a Mazda 2. It's a completely different level of respect I get from other road users depending on which car I'm driving.
Why is that? One is defo a "Kiwi Male" car and the other is a Nana's car. It's not too far a reach to think to come up with her conclusions.

At least you're on a par with her, driving parent's cars n all.
