Article written by Jeffrey Epstein
I’m surprised they didn’t fit an ‘allegedly’ in there to minimize the offence that little bit more.
But think about the boys
This kind of framing is going to become more and more common from now on. Any instance where a victim fights back will be turned around to make the perp seem not so bad.
This is a terrible way to report on this. It completely minimizes the sexual assault and makes it seem like the girl was the aggressor. It’s disgusting how they’re trying to frame this as anything other than self defense. This kind of reporting is dangerous and contributes to victim blaming.
This is typical of the newspapers owned by a shadowy cabal
I hope she used a rusty pair on that awful person.
My question, had it been my daughter: why didn’t you have the sharp scissors?
I am a firm believer that hatpins should be a thing again.
The number of times I’ve heard of/seen a situation that would have been justifiably resolved with a good old-fashioned hat pinning is too damn high.
According to the Teen Vogue website, the young woman was charged with aggravated assault.
The sad thing is the female student most likely will get punished more by the school then the student assaulting her.
Is this sexual “assault” or sexual “harassment” in the civilian side? I’m not asking to be a dick, I’m asking because in my career field this is specifically sexual harassment of no contact was made with the breast, buttocks, genitalia, inner thigh, or anus.
Merry Christmas to you, too. If you celebrate.
MAGA will look at this and automatically come to the conclusion that stabbing is worse than lifting someones dress. Therefore the guy that got stabbed is the victim in their eyes.
A lot depends on the circumstances. Both were charged, so let’s not act like the male got away with it. But if I pull up someone’s dress and they instantly react in a reasonable, physical way….perhaps by stabbing at me with the scissors they were holding at the time…then that’s self defense. But let’s say they walk away afterwards, go somewhere and get scissors, come back 15 mins later and stab me…that’s not self defense, but assault.
But you can’t put all that in a headline.
All the people saying it was worded fine and things similar probably think Russians and child “touchers” are just misrepresented as well.
“Her dress was the aggressor here, its caused the boy to react physically” – Republicans definitely
https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/teen-stabbed-with-scissors-after-pulling-students-dress-up-at-memphis-school-police-say/article_797268a9-3bdc-5f17-9425-52b694456528.html
The article says they were both charged. That’s bullshit. She was defending herself.
The original headline provides a totally factual and unbiased description of events. The changed headline would constitute “contempt of court” since it could influence the trial.
Choose the correct battles.
Sounds like someone didn’t like the Finding Out stage of their Fucking Around. Hope those scissors were dull and covered in cayenne pepper.
If my daughter pulled a knife on someone who pulled up her dress I’d have a hard time punishing her. And a harder time not going at the perpetrator with the same object.
I hope 2025 is The Year of Consequences. It’s time to stop putting up with people’s bullshit.
Imagine being the person INTENTIONALLY creating this article title. Gross.
I mean they’re just laying out the events that occurred, it states the sexual harassment that he did then states that he was stabbed with scissors for it.
I guess they could’ve put in brackets (this is sexual assault) after the description of the sexual assault they included in the headline, but it would be redundant as they’ve already described what happened, and they’d also be legally required to put “alleged” there since he hasn’t yet been convicted and then we’d be using that as evidence of sexism and victim blaming in media, even though this is established law that that media has to do in all cases
(unless you guys want the sexual assaulter to get a pay day by suing news outlets reporting on it and becoming rich). Same logic here as all the guys who cry every time a woman teacher “sleeps with 15 year old student”
“Imagine the headlines if this was a male teacher, they would be calling it rape, the media is so biased in favour of women” – this is what the top commenters sound like
TLDR: if the media did what you guys want it to do that would result in rapists getting easy lawsuits and becoming wealthy. If you attack media that reports on these events using neutral language which they are legally required to do, then the only result of this will be sexual assaulters not getting reported on and getting away without social consequences for their actions
Also hot take: but I witnessed dozen of boys getting “pantsed” (having their pants and often underwear hauled down when they aren’t expecting it) when I was in school by both boys and girls. The people doing these actions were shitty kids who’ve hopefully learned better by now, but I’m not sure it would’ve been a good thing if those dozen or so boys and girls were stabbed or put on a list for the rest of their lives.
I think that part of the reason some men don’t take stuff like this seriously and become shitty red pillers is that stuff like this happens to boys on a daily basis and isn’t taken seriously or even resulting in the abuser being suspended, let alone facing criminal charges or media attention, so then they see this and they think it’s a massive overreaction instead of realizing that it isn’t, and it’s just an underreaction when it happens to boys/them.
Not super relevant to this specific thread but I think it’s an issue that should be addressed. Boys being sexually assaulted is incredibly common and not taken seriously whatsoever which results in these people growing up and not taking it seriously when it happens to women. The left should be supporting these victims instead of laughing at them or calling them redpill liars and making them feel like they will only be accepted by the right. Not only is it the morally correct thing to do, but it would result in better election outcomes, and it would result in men having healthier views on sexual assault.
When you do polling on men who’ve been victims of sexual assault from women, you often get insanely low numbers like “3% of men have been sexually assaulted by a woman throughout their lifetimes”. But that’s because it’s so normalized that they don’t view these things a sexual assault for themselves or for others. When you use neutral language to survey them without labelling it as sexual assault, you get a more accurate representation and results that look closer to this:
[A sample of 1124 heterosexual British men completed an online survey consisting of a modified CDC National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, and measures of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and conformity to masculine norms. In the present sample, 71% of men experienced some form of sexual victimization by a woman at least once during their lifetime](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-023-02717-0)
When we look at why so many older men are shitty and don’t take incidents like this seriously, think about it from the lens that it’s something that has happened to roughly 3 quarters of them by women, and they were taught that it’s normal, and they’re still labelled pieces of shit/liars/redpillers when they bring it up to this day, or told that it’s only other men doing it to men. (All of this is not to say women don’t have it worse when it comes to sexual assault/harassment, they certainly do, there’s just a major disparity in how these instances are treated by family/friends, the media, and society in general)
hey this is my high school lmao central high memphis tn
Still managed to not use pronouns
Idk what people expect when they raise their kids to not let themselves become a victim, then when they act on it they’re suddenly villainized and everyone loses their mind. I think we should be consoling the girl rather than make her the perpetrator.
Before anyone says “he’s just a little boy”, she’s just a little girl I suppose they both made extremely poor decisions just one of them was more justified.
The scissors one is more descriptive.
Great move. A valuable lesson was taught that day
They are rightful both being charged
The original headline is better. All the information needed to infer the replacement headline is there, but it’s not as vague as “sexual assault”, which could cover anything up to rape, and doesn’t assume it was “to escape”. It could have been because she was mad.
Chasing him down with scissors isn’t self defense you absolute ignorant fools. I don’t condone what the boy did but words matter.
i hope she stuck the scissors in his fucking eye
shovked it’s a MAGA state
To be fair, the headline is much more objective and less sensationalist than the answer.
Columbine boys were victims too is normal to fight back against bullying.
Proportionality is a thing, that’s why it’s a headline. If she had just decked him and given him a black eye, there wouldn’t be an article
(Bring on the downvotes)
In this case it wasnt self defence, it was retaliation as the girl went and picked up the scissors and chased him while trying an failing to stab him until she finally landed one.
The boy was treated and is in bother for sexual battery
The girl is in bother for aggravated assault.
For self defence to apply it requires the action to be
1. Reasonable
2. Proportional
Punching or kicking etc the boy would have been fine, but going to a pair of scissors and then trying to stab him whilst chasing him, is not reasonable or proportional.
Hopefully the boy takes this as a lesson to not be a cunt
Thats not assault and self defense is only a valid repsonse if it happens while the attack is happening you can’t just go back to your stuff and then stab a person with a scissors thats not self defense anymore but of course americans love violence so they defend this.
The original headline is more descriptive of what went on though. I actually think the original headline is better.
This is Trump’s America.
