Phoebe Prince is dead and Liberal Dude Nation refuses to say why

Two of the six students in South Hadley, Mass., who were charged with bullying a 15-year-old girl before her suicide last year pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment charges on Wednesday and received a year’s probation each, plus 100 hours of community service.

The defendants were accused of relentlessly tormenting Ms. Prince and calling her an “Irish slut” after she briefly dated two boys in the senior class.

tiny piece on A25. not front page story of the larger issue which you'd have to be deaf dumb and blind to not get.

Not just the NYTimes has their head up their liberal dude nation ass. Slate has disappointed as usual.

Not a Word about the larger issue ...only a wonderment at why the charges were filed in the first place:

And yet the question remains: If prosecutors thought they could show that the five teens indicted on a felony civil rights charge caused Prince's suicide, why did they let the kids walk with probation, and in every case but one (Sean Mulveyhill's), with the promise of a future clean record? If they didn't think they could prove that, why did they make such a shattering, attention-getting accusation?

How is it possible that Emily Bazelon could write such a trite unquestioning piece. The question is obvious: what were these teens doing that is not taught to them as OK every night of the week on prime time TV and by those in power such as Bill Maher, nevermind in the NYTimes White Bitch catcall to Hillary. What a shame. When women make us mad we are allowed to torment them with slut and bitch and whore, cause the media tells us it is OK and the media won't admit that sad little fact about themselves. Alas, let's remember it was the gals at State that put Palin in a bikini and sexed her up so that young kids everywhere learn what to do with women then don't like, those Irish sluts.

That the New York Times won't in all it's male glory ask this question is sad, but the fact that Emily won't is tragic.

Many female journalists will

Many female journalists will not understand the story that is here because they are too busy calling other women bitches and whores themselves.

FAILURE by women journalists

FAILURE by women journalists to give a nod to the larger issues at play is sickening, puke inducing, cowardly and pathetic.
