I never attacked the kid, explicitly said he doesn't deserve to have his life ruined. He is guilty of harassing someone, most people have done it at some point, that being said the white male suffering in such a scenario is vastly outweighed by the experiences of females.
Most men have no idea what it's like for women, none whatsoever so I'll stick up for the women by default having first hand experience what their experience is like. No one is even villifying this kid, atleast not that I've seen. We all know it was a peck on the cheek and he didn't intend to maliciously harm her, that's not the point. The point is women are treated like #### in society and they are harassed all the time, any opportunity to bring that to the light is important. A lot of men will say she asked for it, what a drama queen, exaggerating, being overly emotional and making mountains out of molehills exactly like this situation. You want to empathize with the white male fine, but I guarantee you the mental distress women feel on a daily basis is exponentially worse.
I'm certain a lot of you males showing no care for the victim would change your tune after a few months being harassed and having no way to stop it.
