Woman makes false accusation against mailbox

[Galt]

This woman:

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime/wellington-mom-arrested-2-kids-taken-after-telling-1948875.html

was screaming at a tree when the police arrived and then ordered them to arrest her mailbox.

No word about whether the mailbox is going to file a civil complaint against her for the false accusation.

In other news, Amanda Marcotte is sticking with this woman's story and thinks that the mailbox "must have done something" to cause the complaint.

Men created the mailbox, men invented Xanex, men were there to evaluate her.  If there were no men she would not have had these troubles.  I mean damn, how simple can it get?  Get rid of men and everything gets better.

Was the mailbox arrested?

Dude, ya'll just don't know!
I've seen some fuckin mailboxes out there they stick their fingers in women sometimes!
Misogynists...

Those police men must have been using rational thinking, that's patriarchal oppression!

The woman probably couldn't spell, and she thought that it was a male box. If it had been a female box or a person box she wouldn't have done it.

I'm not sure about this.  The case could be made that a mailbox is actually female.  Mailboxes often have slots (feminine) into which letters are put for delivery, or the postman (and it's usually a man) puts letters into the mailbox, which is a receptacle (feminine).  So, in a sense, the mailbox represents a female entity being invaded by letters (analogous to sperm),  often put there by men and mailmen (though this analogy doesn't always apply as often it's women who mail letters too).

Think that's crazy?  No crazier than what a lot of feminists come up with.

Oh, and I just realized that the term mailbox has the word "box" in it, which is slang for female genitals.  So a mailbox is definitely something feminine that is being violated by the equivalent of a "rape culture" created by the Postal Service.

I think it's a fairly open secret that the Patriarchy has its fingers deep into the Postal Service, much like the Mafia in Las Vegas in the 1950s.

I'm surprised that Marcotte, Schwyzer and the other usual suspects haven't written more about that.

Is is just me or does the article seem to imply that the two children were trapped inside the house by the mother?

Mmmmm it does seem like that.

I was just thinking, what are the odds that she will be given back the kids?

Any man, even with a "lively" social routine, is often too "unstable" to care for a child, but too often I hear of women neglecting their children to such extremes yet still the primary caregiver because "according to society", a coked up female sociopath is still a better choice of parent than a man.

I see a pattern... we are bastards! lol

I put a couple of letters in the slot of a mailbox this afternoon.  While doing so I felt I was violating the internal feminine-like space of the mailbox.  I hope I can get over this guilt.
