Teacher 'sexually abused pupil, 13, a dozen times, sent cash in pregnancy scare'
  • I don't think they can call it rape until after she's been convicted of rape, unless they want to open themselves up to a lawsuit. Not sure if they could have said, "Allegedly raped," or not, but I wouldn't fault the writer or even the publisher for having to phrase it this way. I think their choice of headline was more likely motivated by legal pressures than any sort of bias against rape victims, male or female.

  • From what I've heard it's not legally advisable in most countries for media to lable things as rape prior to the perpetrator being convicted of rape. Also I think the law commonly defines rape as forceful penetration, at least in the US. So it's not necessarily the writer's/publisher's fault when the headlines don't call it what it is.

  • It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome.
  • Dude, lighten up. People with ADHD regularly make/laugh at these jokes. If you don't believe me, check out *any ADHD memes community.
