I don't know. I wish I could understand. White male dominance, maybe? I mean, we see that in rape cases all the time, right? Even judges say stuff like "promising young men" and how they can't bear to ruin a poor boy's future because of a lapse in judgement. Seems like part of and anti-feminism, male superiority position.

It's so common, it's practically a trope. "Poor boy just had a lapse in judgement. Look how attractive he is (never-minding the photoshop) -- shame to rob him of his future potential, blah, blah" -- maybe this is just more of that.
