"All was calm on a brisk 40-degree Saturday evening around Bar 4 in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. The only things stirring were the breeze-driven mocha-colored leaves skipping and scratching across the concrete and the light traffic along Seventh Avenue. But skidding leaves soon gave way to the deliberate clacking of red heels. It was a little early for Terrifica to start patrolling; it was only 8:30, and the social scene was hours away from awakening. However, with her red cape, matching leotard and skirt with red boots, she managed to open the eyes of a few onlookers and elicit a whisper or two as she strode into Bar 4. For the past seven years Terrifica has been patrolling New York's party and bar scene, looking out for women who have had a little too much to drink and are in danger of being taken advantage of by men. She says she has saved several women from both themselves and predators who would prey upon their weaknesses — both from alcohol and a misguided notion that they have to go out drinking to find a companion." http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/terrifica021105.html Fair enough - she's trying to do women a service. But Terrifica? what sort of superhero name is Terrifica?
Oh ffs! Just cos she has a face like a slapped ass, she has to stop everyone else having a good time?
Ok now that has to be the saddest woman on the face of this planet. Just b/c she got **** on 3-4 times b/c of her own stupidity, she is going to ruin a few people's nights and cause trouble. Now granted, there are sometimes when you shouldn't do things, but it should be up to you or whoever you went out with to stop you, not some dam strange woman dressed up like a hooker. Who is she to think that she can just do this?? It reallys pisses me off when one person thinks they have the dam right to decide what goes on in other peoples lives. I think you should let them learn their lesson. You go out, you get pissy drunk, you make a mistake, you live with it. It's called LIFE and you learn from the early mistakes you make in it and it teaches you to be a better person later on. Ok I'll shut up now.
Not only patronising, but these sorts of actions surely harm the acceptance of women as our equals? Now let's compare her to Batman 1. Bruce Wayne is filthy rich 2. Batman has cool vehicles 3. Batman has cool weapons 4. Bruce Wayne knows all sorts of cool martial arts 5. Batman has my respect (And he's not even real!) What does she have? A stupid costume and smarties
