Reply #121: The notion that people are "jumping to her defense" [View All]

[alcibiades_mystery]

based on a "good-girl bad-boy stereotype" strikes me as a stretch, to say the least. The facts that we do know are there, and they paint a very unclear picture. I don't see how some stereotype comes up at all. It just strikes me as a weird counterargument. I mean, we have the cultural figure of the "mean girl" as a well known trope. Who would suggest that she couldn't be involved because she is a woman? I haven't seen anything like that. The curious fact here is that she wasn't charged with the second incident, and seems uninvolved in it completely. This would at least throw into doubt what happened during the first incident with respect to Ms. Wei.

It would be helpful to have the text of the actual indictment here. I've been unable to find it. It would lead to a more productive discussion, in any case, than charges of "stereotyping" that seem to lack any foundation.
