Men Are The New Blacks - Jezebel

Men Are The New Blacks - Jezebel:

"Two weeks ago Wall Street Journal columnist Jeff Zaslow wondered if the
newsmedia's relentless coverage of pervs and priests was 'teaching our children
to fear men.' And today this query turns out to be a campaign! Zaslow interviews
some members of this oppressed constituency on 'how men cope with being cast as
predators.' And it is so poignant! 'I don't want to give even the slightest
indication that any inadvertent touching occurred,' says economist Rian Romoli
regarding times when he accidentally 'bumps into children.' (Um, with his erect
cock?) 'Being male,' adds a doctor as to why he avoids crying children who look
lost, 'I am guilty until proven innocent.' Oh, Jesus Christ, tell it to a black
male."


I think this might be over stating the case that could be made. You can't blame the media for focusing on male perps, because most perps are male. The media covered the stories of female teachers having sex with their students, in the same manner that they did victims of male perps. In fact, I don't know that there really is a case at all to be made here.
