Replying to your comment, no, we live in a world where having an actual relationship with someone you wrote about IN COLLEGE doesn’t make you a slut, especially when that person is the best friend of your bff’s boyfriend. If it was a grown woman sleeping around with people she interviews, then okay yeah that happens and they do get labeled, but this is not about a grown woman sleeping around with her sources. This is about a college student falling in love with someone she hangs out with a lot because of her best friend, and she also happens to be writing about him. The author and book exaggerated it so much. And why am I commenting here in your conversations? Because the author is so immature that they block me bc I think the mom’s toxic and I have an opinion. Like it’s just an opinion.

Give me a real world example of an actual student dating a source and getting their rep ruined for it, then I’ll believe you. My real world example of how I’m correct is that it’s never happened!! And my second one is a list of reporters who are in successful relationships with people they’ve interviewed, and the entire site is gushing about it. And all reporters still have their jobs!

“They’ll say that she slept around” I swear to you that people literally do not care at all. And despite the article being published, it’s not a job! She’s not a professional writer with a job! She’s a graduating college student 21 years old who wrote one published scholarship article, no one will care if she starts dating him people have better things to do in life. Why so negative? This workplace poor treatment towards women is only present when it happens IN the workplace! But she’s not in a workplace so no nosey coworkers will give a damn. Like I said before, her situation is completely different.

@obnoxious_panda WE KNOW that she's in a relationship but the way of the world is that they'll say that she slept around with him to get access to that information and so on. Also, it IS a scholarship article but it will also be PUBLISHED. Abby said it herself that since she already submitted it to the University's press, every time her name is searched up anywhere, that article will come up and she regretted sending it to the press cause she knows now that it will bring unnecessary (and most likely, cruel) attention to her. I understand that you don't think of it that way, that's okay. I'm not fighting with you, I'm trying to make you understand my point of view. You don't have to agree.
