Your issue, your burden. Don't look to me to bail you out of your personal Waterloo.

Wait, did you just say that offensive misogyny that advocates horrific violence against women was my personal problem and no issue or burden for you?
Man you're all class estate.
OK ... let me spell it out for you: Those comments were made days ago, and I don't even remember the original context of the posts that contained them.
Yet you just keeping hanging on to them -- probably because, after taking such a beating on this thread, you're desperate to score some semblance of an ego-salving victory.
Dreadful sorry, G, but I'm just not interested in bailing you out. It's up to you to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and make whatever point you seem to need my help in making. Your issue, your burden.

So neither of us has any business speculating on what sort of behavior might be classified as "misguided and irrational" in response to a trauma.

Exactly my point - which I'm surprised went over your head, seeing its me whose using the "you shouldn't pretend to know whats going through her mind" argument, while its you who is making brazen and unreasonable assumptions about what sort of behaviour should be expected of a woman who has just gone through the trauma of a brutal raping.
Nothing went over my head. As I told you once, I made a layman's judgment on this issue, based on her own statements, as opposed to joining you in your attempt to play amateur psychologist.
What went over your head is the irony in you telling me I have no business judging her behavior ... at the same time you're declaring, with nary a shred of support, that I'm making "brazen and unreasonable assumptions."
Show me your psychology degree and perhaps I'll give your pull-it-out-of-an-orifice pronouncement more respect than I give any other background noise.

"Not a shred of evidence" to support my argument? Nahhh, none whatsoever -- other than the fact that she said it herself.
Had she considered rapists a bigger problem than racists, she wouldn't have admitted to Der Spiegel that she lied to avoid stoking "more hatred against migrants." Nor would she have said that "when she spoke to police, she was thinking about the protest march against racism and sexism that was due to take place in a few hours."

Ergo, racists were her No. 1 concern, even at the expense of allowing rapists to go unpunished.

Thanks for proving that yet again you have not a shred of evidence to assume she thinks racism is more important than rape. All I can do is remind you again of the logical fallacy of citing her obvious concern for racism as somehow "proof" that she considers it more important than rape. Or to put it another way, all you are proving is she thinks racism is a very important issue. Thats it.
Thanks for proving yet again that you're incapable of grasping the simplest of points. Or perhaps you're just too proud to admit that your own argument has enough holes in it to drive a truck through, so you keep plugging your ears and shouting, "LA LA LA LA I AM NOT LISTENING!"
But obviously, if she'd been more concerned about rapists than racists, she'd have given an accurate description of the RAPISTS from the start instead of lying to protect them and their fellow refugees from RACISTS.
In simpler terms ... she had two choices. She chose one.
In mathematics, that's known as X>Y.
Thanks for playing.
