This is so misogynistic. The responsibility for kidnapping and murder falls squarely on the men who did it.
Blaming a woman for saying she was sexually harassed seems pretty backward.
In addition, consider this was 1950’s rural Mississippi. The power imbalances between husbands and wives would have been huge. Any man capable of such horrific violence to a 14 year old child, would more than likely have been a domestic abuser as well. I really doubt that she had a lot of options for going against her husband.
- xphilter 4y agoUh the warrant was for her role in kidnapping. It’s a bit misogynistic to think a woman couldn’t play a part in a lynching, I’d say. Glad you’re coming up for excuses for some lady you’ve never met before; keeping the system that kept her out of prison alive and well!
