- still lost between two shores..
That reminds me of the Scottsboro case- long before our time. One of the books I read had prints of newspaper stories in which the alleged attackers were called 'men' and the alleged victims were called 'girls.'Good question it's often confused me too...
Another example is that the media will state a young teen aged 19 will have suffered some trauma... but when the same age is the attacker..they suddenly become a Man or Woman ,,which of course they are..
While all of the 'men' were teenagers, and one was only 12 yrs old, one of the 'girls' was a three-times-married woman 21 years old.
The other girl was only 17, and later admitted the attack never occurred. But I guess it's some kind of propaganda to influence the public, calling a 12-year-old a man while calling a 21-year-old a girl.
