I love how this explanation is fully feminist right up to the point it utterly ignores the existence of female police officers.

  On average, 18% of police officers in a given department are female. It is more likely (5-1 odds) that the officer on your case will be male. Of course you could also get a female cop, just as you could get a male cop who takes the complaint seriously. Parent asked why the victim's gender matters; this is a reason why it is not entirely irrelevant.
