At The Awl, Alice Bolin writes about Gone Girl, Serial, true crime television and “Why it’s scarier for a man to be accused than for a woman to be killed”: “It’s clear we love the Dead Girl, but we don’t empathize with her. If we did, we might ask why we did nothing to protect her—why we, as Prickett writes, ‘make these crimes by emasculation feel as common, and unstoppable, as acts of god.'” (via Graham Wynd)
