Who was grooming whom: The irony of one victim/predator narrative

  • サマリー

  • The tragic death of a schoolmate leads to a revisionist Me Too story that ironically renders the supposed victim, and the supposed perpetrator, into cardboard characters. By failing to ask the hard questions and instead insisting on a simplistic good/bad narrative, the humanity and the shared responsibility of both protagonists gets squeezed out of the story.

    As we delve deeper into the truth of what happened, questions of what is power, what is seduction, and what is "grooming" arise.

    And we ask why girls are still encouraged, even by so-called feminists, to objectify and monetize their bodies. Why has one strand of feminism turned objectification into "empowerment" in the topsy-turvy bizarre world of identity politics?
