With the same low level reasoning I would say people are only sorry for her because she is a woman, that needs to be protected. Reverse the sexes in the story and you dont get much of an interesting story



What a blindly judgemental farce. Maybe don't project your own prejudice onto others?


Would you have shared / commented on the story and participated in the buzz of a story where the two sexes were reversed ?


Obviously. Why would I give a damn what's between the legs of someone that was a victim of fraud? It's just as sad when guys are catfished for scams and I feel the same empathy for them.


It’s not obvious to me this story would have reached you and me with the same strength, allowing us to talk together here


Fair enough, but I personally consider it a problem regardless of the gender of the victim.
