Why is the person's gender relevant?
I don’t think it is but the headline clearly mimics a standard newspaper headline. I don’t think it’s trying to say something about genders, just saying something about how media communicates.
Are you illiterate?
Because it's in the title of the post
and why is it there? I still don't get the relevance
Because the information is known, so it's mentioned. It's the same as if it was a man who did it.
In this case, it's because it was from a specific TikTok creator.
then why is it being called out as if there was a difference? that's what I don't understand.
Why does it matter?
Same reason headlines say "Florida Man" and not "Florida Human"
Hey, are you okay? Having a bad day?
I'm wonderful! Thanks for asking.
It's not. The gender is known, so it's mentioned.
