The girl's father makes it clear that "boys will be boys".
Especially not if there are zero consequences.
Yeah, you can tell how clear he makes it by his overall statement being completely ungendered, the moment he's not talking about this boy specifically:
How exactly is the above sentence favoring boys over girls in any way? I also don't see him criticizing his daughter for the actions she took, either.
I think you just want there to be misogyny, to confirm your biases.
It's people like you that enable rapists.
You lied that the father said "boys will be boys", and all I did was point out the lie and correct it, by quoting his actual words, and pointing out their gender neutrality.
So people who call out and correct liars enable rapists? Explain how. Be specific.
There's no lie in anything that I wrote. "Boys will be boys" is the mentality behind this guy just casually sloughing off the sexual violation of his daughter through the use of generative AI to create nude pictures of her that this boy distributed across the entire school. She will carry that trauma for the rest of her life (not to mention the fact that those pictures are now out in the wild and will never disappear from the internet). And if it weren't for the sheriff doing the stand up thing and opening a real investigation, that boy would have seen literally no consequences for his actions.
You shrugging and saying "well he didn't say boys" is just being an apologist for the father's apathetic attitude towards this girl's bodily sovereignty and personal dignity.
Calling his mentality "boys will be boys" when he very clearly said 'kids will be kids', very directly implies that you are accusing him of giving male children a pass that he wouldn't give female children.
And that's a completely baseless assumption fabricated in your own mind to rationalize labeling him misogynistic. You're calling him sexist based on nothing but your own bias.
There is zero evidence that he wouldn't say the exact same thing about a group of girls making AI edits of their male classmates, and there is evidence that he would—namely, his actual words.
Your baseless accusation falls firmly under the 'dishonesty' umbrella.
That father is either a far far better person than I am, or an idiot. I'd be fucking furious.
He’s bending over backwards to be nice and ignoring all the importance of being kind. He’s an idiot.
