edited October 7 in Chit-Chat
A girl posted a screen shot of a kid explaining an incident where he had been routinely touched sexually by their gym teacher, thinking it was just a routine health check and was puzzled why no one else seemed to remember it. Another person replied say "Dude, you were molested." It also came from a website call thatfunnything.com so I was sure that her reason for posting it was because she thought it was funny. I privately messaged her saying how I found it offensive and that I don't believe the sexually abuse of a child is anything to make light of and I feel very strongly about this due to the recent events at my school, PSU. She decided to screen capture my private message (including my picture) to her blog and harass me in front of all her followers.

You can't win... You get scrutinized for "allowing" a child molester to commit criminal acts on campus (as if I knew about such events or even went to Penn State while he was even here) and then you get scrutinized for speaking out against it.

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but I think you were right to speak up. Bravo.

    I think her actions pretty much sum her up in one word...........a!@#hole. Don't let it get you down girl. Report it to the mods and let them take it from there.

    Her reply was out of pure embarassment at being caught doing something distasteful and then being called out on it. Be proud that you had the courage to tell her how you feel and move on. As much as we want to, we can't fix everyone. Hopefully she will ponder your statement when she is done being embarassed and change her tune.

    Not all girls are like that, but I get where you are coming from. Despicable... and I am being really nice.

    maybe she's the child molester..
    she obversely doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with it.
    bloody child perdo's!
    & it only showed that she has no brain but to put it up on public *your mail* so she can feel powered by other perdo's support!

    Props to you for taking it directly to her rather than blast it openly. It shows a great level of thought and respect. As for her, I am sure there are many that will look at her and shake their head in dismay

    Sounds like this girl has some serious issues. And you did the right thing by speaking up, I would have done the same thing. and as for her trying to make you look like the bad guy well any person with any common sense or humanity who read her blog would surely see that she is a complete idiot. Don't even let her get to you, she is so not worth it.

    Even though that girl shouldn't have responded that way, you shouldn't make generalizations like "I hate girls" because of it. It's sexist and just as offensive as the screenshot you complained about being used as humor.

    Nothing like a bit of sexism and internalized misogyny in the late afternoon. Stop that.

    People in general can be so cruel & blind. I'm really sorry that this happened to you. If I were you I wouldn't bother reading any comments she makes here on out on her blog/page or the comments by her followers. There is nothing you can do now & it'd only make you more upset. Just forget about her if possible. She obviously has nothing better to do with her time. Kudos to you for speaking up though! Very brave thing to do!

    I agree with Awake_Alive. Good for you for speaking up...Although I don't quite understand the situation, the blogger sounds like a nitwit. If you feel that she violated privacy policies by screen capturing your picture and private message, you could probably report her to the site that hosts the blog.

    PS You DO win...for being a strong young person who stands up for others. Be proud of that. :drinker:

    Thanks everyone... I'm really distraught about this and was starting to wonder if I even did the right thing or was just over reacting.

    Sexism? Really? I doubt the OP actually hates all girls and thinks they are all mean. Its a title that grabs attention. I know I have said when I was upset "I hate guys. They are all cheaters!" Did I mean it? No. Sheesh lol

    @ColeyBear08 I think you certainly did the right thing and I know many people were probably thinking the same. Sorry you had to put up with that!

    You did the right thing and well done you for actually being aware of what's wrong with the situation. I hope that the poster on the "funny" website doesn't have children... lack of insight much?!

    Even though I'm a female and I'm sexist against my own sex... It was simply an observation I've made from many years of experience and interactions with my sex. I was making a statistical generalization (which is all statistical conclusions we use in academia) about the sample I've encountered. I'm sorry if I've offended you... I'm quickly learning you can't please them all :-)

    You did exactly the right thing. We all need to be held accountable for our hurtful words and actions. There's no shame in standing up for yourself and others. Good job.

    What you did was absolutely right. Any other way would had been wrong. It was not funny at all. If this blogger's followers supports her I think the police got a chain of pedos.

    Anyway I agree with sunshine_88. There is nothing sexist or generalization about this post. Its just attention grabbing tittle. Thats all. Geez some people just need to stop making a mountain out of mole hill. :noway:

    I'd like to repeat that I'm sorry for the "sexist" comment. I do indeed have female friends and like the female gender, they are not preferred over males when it comes to my sexual orientation, however, I do like hanging out with the more understanding ones.

    I just think that everyone should be more aware of the generalizations they make, especially those that involve race/gender/etc. People of all genders are mean, so why single out girls even when the specific person who hurt you this time is one? I didn't point it out to make you feel bad or anything, I just thought it was something you (and everyone else) should be aware of. :smile:

    First, you're very sweet and props to you for caring enough to message her about it. The world needs more people like you! Second, you got trolled. If you're referring to the screen cap of that question asked on yahoo answers, the person who asked that made it up as a joke. People post crap like this all the time on yahoo answers to get a rise out of people. She made fun of you because you took it seriously.
