Hey you erased the rape victim from the rape story - after she survived seven years of the legal system punishing her for being raped. I fixed it for you but maybe I shouldn't have to?

Unattributed quotes from defence lawyers is a persistent, pernicious trope in reporting MVAW that goes much wider than one journo or masthead.

Punishing myself listening to news summary
What the FUCK , reporting on a man who brutally murdered a woman in her 70s when she mistook his home for a B&B, saying he 'lost his temper' when he found her in there?! Fucking WHAT? I can't take this nonsense. Cc

This by is very good. Journalists/editors often don't consider the harm they cause when they elevate perpetrators and erase victims.

How Nine reported the sentencing of a 45-year-old man who groomed and raped a 14-year-old boy. As always, elevating the perpetrator to the height of his cv.

Perpetrators are commonly erased from discussion of "violence against women" - where is he in the name we give his violence? We don't give enough $ or effort to research/address men's violence. There can be no change without such effort

This headline is putrid. It was designed that way. But the response shows up much has changed in the last few years.

Men! Never ever do this. Read the signals. If she wanted to engage she would stop and turn her body towards you. She is very clearly trying to get away from him. Every woman knows this. Why is it so challenging for men to understand? 😔

Hey this is not an article about tennis players sleeping with their coaches. It's about adult men using their power and authority over teenage girls. Maybe you didn't read it? #FixedIt

#FixedIt - Clarity missing from headline
See what I did there? I used the passive voice in a headline about using the passive voice in headlines. Hilarious!
Or it would be if this wasn’t such a persistent trick to erase men's responsibility for violence

Yet another accused rapist and yet another underhanded victim-blaming headline.
This time it's erasing the alleged victim and replacing him with the app on which he met his alleged rapist.

Was working in a bookshop when Louise Milligan's book on Pell came out. Sold it again and again to what seemed like versions of the same man: middle-aged, red-faced, moist-eyed, and with shaking hands. One man openly wept. Another bought 6 for friends in VIC. Thinking of them.

Here's The Daily Telegraph making a long reach to obscure a violent man's arrest for allegedly murdering Danielle Finlay-Jones.
Danielle wasn't killed by a dating app.
She wasn't killed because she used a dating app.

And some people will still ask "if she's telling the truth then why didn't she report him to police?" and think they've made a valid point.

The Blue Mountains are ok. The passive voice is not ok. He was convicted of raping a teenage girl. Erasing her is not ok. (Also, I think the lawyer is appealing the conviction not the 2 month sentence).
Are you ok ?

That the alleged stabbing took place in Queensland is maybe relevant to this story, but it's not so important that it needs to replace the person charged with allegedly stabbing the woman.
It makes no sense to include this slightly relevant detail and

Admirer? Boyfriend?! 18yr old Martyna had known this man for only a few days before he violently & sexually assaulted her — and she defended herself.
As she applies for permission to appeal her conviction, headlines that romanticise a violent attacker are so damaging.

I usually encourage people to use my #FixedIt technique on headlines. The only exceptions are when they try to monetise it (happens occasionally) or when they use it to further the numpty agenda (rare but notable). #MetricFucktonOfFundingForTheABC

Allow me to fix your headline -
“The ABC is grooming children after having an Aussie drag queen appear on Play School to teach kids about cross dressing.
There. Fixed it.

FFS. Honestly - there is no excuse for calling a grown woman "a naughty little girl" in a professional setting. Let alone the parliament. I don't care what your politics are, it's gross and wildly inappropriate.

Hi rapists don't rape because of "financial stress" nor did the judge attribute the rape to "financial stress".
Also she is a woman and a person. He is a man and a rapist.
