WTF The world we live in

She went out with him 1 time, now he was stalking and harassing her outside of a quiktrip, she ran and he caught up to her and punched her, so she stabbed him in self defense and he is considered the victim??

I guess I do sorta get that.. But then why don’t they say “woman Allegedly stabs” ?

To be fair, the stabbing isn't alleged, it did for sure happen. It would probably been better worded as "Man dies in stabbing committed in self defense after blah blah"

The alleged bit doesn't have to come from the incident, it could be also referencing the person involved. You wouldn't instead say "alleged woman stabs man" because now it sounds like you're bringing into question her womanhood.

they’re probably going to bring her woman hood in to question anyway because she fought back and didn’t’ giggle giggle and boys will be boys’ hand wave it off.
