Reposted by (New Account) OwlNicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 21hEarlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist. 5137361144
Reposted by (New Account) OwlHard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 21hWomen, on the other hand, were most often referred to as "girl" even into her late 30s...unless she was alleging SA. Then she was a "woman" or even "underage woman" (which is, of course, a nonsense term to avoid using "girl.") 322720
Reposted by (New Account) OwlHard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 21hI remember reading an article once looking at the age coding language around SA reporting and women in general (mostly in local papers). They found that men, 18 and up, were pretty consistently referred to as men...unless they were accused of SA and they it was "boy," "young man," or "teen." 121428
