California Hockey Mom Allegedly Had Sex With Son's Teammates at Sleepovers

My Take

Is the media locked into the bias-box of reporting while trying to protect women? The reporting and headline about the “accused” Hokey-Mom sexual adventures sure appears to be so. If the same story was about a father, having sex with his daughters’ friends’, the headline most likely would read something like: “Father Commits Statutory Rape with Daughter’s Teammates”.

However, as usual the media does all it can to paint women as innocent, if not painting women as the victims. I would not be surprised if someone will allude that the boys were the instigators and raped the “poor” Hockey-Mom. The Hummer Mom in Slat-Lake actually blamed her victim: “I didn't start it. I didn't touch anything back. It was him. ‘He started it,’ she said.” Yet the police believed the opposite.

ABC News that story--the Hummer Mom also used emotion to paint the Hummer Mom as almost the victim. ABC News in neither article uses harsh words as the media normally uses for such acts when committed by men. The summary from ABC on the Hummer Mom taking her daughter’s boy-friend, happened because the woman was tired. Those were the accused’s words.

Since when do the media publish men’s excuses of being tired that lead to statutory rape? What ABC News is implying is the feminist mantra “Poor woman”. Coincidentally, the Hockey Mom sexual story is tagged automatically on with video news of women being neglected sexually by their husbands. What a coincidence?

It appears that ABC News is really using all the cards in the deck to convince the world that men are at fault for women behaviors. A male guest in the show, a sexual behaviors “professional” sure was bashing men in full force. ABC and its guest should at least make research on family violence; the story would be written differently, and it would report on how much men are being abused by their wives and by our shameful judicial system.
