Althouse: "A startling number of teen girls have admitted to having a schoolgirl crush on bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev..."

May 12, 2013

"A startling number of teen girls have admitted to having a schoolgirl crush on bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev..."

"... proclaiming their love for the Boston Marathon bombing suspect on social media."

The media is to blame for this, as I accused the other day on Bloggingheads (where Bob Wright didn't seem to get why I what I was saying or why):

Really? I hadn't seen that, and a search of both google and bing turn up nothing.

Are we sure it's only teen girls, btw? After all, Titus went on and on about all the things he wanted to do to the older brother, and I think he mentioned how pretty Dzhokar was.; 5/12/13, 2:07 PM
Anonymous said...: To blame the media for girls and women being attracted to cute sociopaths is very odd. Yes, if it weren't for the media, they might not have heard of this particular handsome killer. But a decent fraction the few who did get a look at him would still find him strangely, almost magically compelling, and a few of those would find him so irresistibly compelling that they'd admit to having a schoolgirl crush on him.

This is a quirk women generally have. Men have their own weird quirks, also embarrassing in their own way.

The media amplify and exaggerate the expression of all our quirks in bizarre ways, but the quirks were there first.

We're animals. May as well get used to it.; 5/12/13, 2:11 PM

coketown said...: What's the solution? Photoshop Tsarnaev's pictures so he looks appropriately erratic and unstable before airing them? Maybe some googley-eyes and drool?

The media used the pictures available. It's not their fault the guy didn't regularly pose for selfies looking as batshit crazy as Loughner or as socially awkward as Lanza. Maybe that's what distinguishes the mentally unbalanced from mere fanatics. Or maybe if Instagram offered a mass-murdering psychotic loner filter this wouldn't be an issue. Buuuuuut they don't.

If we're going to blame the media for anything, it should be for sensationalizing the online ramblings of teenage girls. Reporting what a "startling number" of teenage girls posted on Twitter is like reporting on the contents of their diaries. Not that you were snooping or anything. You found it in the cafeteria and the lock just popped right open! And it's not like those locks are meant to keep anyone out anyway.

bagoh20 said...: Richard Ramirez was convicted of:
13 counts of murder
5 counts of attempted murder
11 counts of sexual assault
14 counts of burglary

The details of those crimes were really disgusting, even as serial killers go, but:

"By the time of the trial, Ramirez had fans who were writing him letters and paying him visits. Beginning in 1985, freelance magazine editor Doreen Lioy wrote him nearly 75 letters during his incarceration. In 1988 he proposed to her, and on October 3, 1996, they were married in California's San Quentin State Prison. Lioy has stated that she will commit suicide when Ramirez is executed."

But once the novelty wore off I called him Dzmitry again and I remember it being easy to pronounce the name like a real Belorussian.

Little Girls Lost - Love Letters to Murderers

I recently heard about the many letters that convicted killer Scott Peterson has received from different women. Many who offered to marry him. Charlie Manson has had proposals in the past as well. The famous Night-stalker (Richard Ramirez), who killed 13 people and raped 30 women, had lines of women outside his jail. Finally after courting many from behind bars, he married a freelance magazine editor by the name of Doreen Lioy in 1996.; 5/12/13, 3:19 PM

Robert Cook said...: This syndrome of women writing fan letters to and developing romantic obsessions with prisoners is so common there must be a fairly basic and even normal psychological impulse at work.

My own sheer guess is that women whose mothering instinct is tied up somehow with their erotic impulse see the incarcerated object of their obsession as, innately, a "misunderstood" or otherwise disadvantage "little boy lost." I think they imagine their own nurturing (and sexual) love for the bad boy to be so powerful they will tame his antisocial impulses and make him into a compliant, grateful lover and "good boy," but one whose past bad acts add a frisson of "danger" to the relationship these women imagine (and sometimes achieve) with these men.

Rosalyn C. said...: I agree with the analysis about the media glamorizing the Tsarnaev brothers. They kept publishing all those pictures of one guy in his boxing trunks and fashionable outfits and his brother with the big hair but very few pictures of Jeffrey Bauman Jr. with his leg bones sticking out and the blood soaked sidewalks.

But that goes along with the media narrative which rarely, if at all, covers the scores of terrorist attacks in the US which have been foiled thanks to the undercover work of the FBI. There have been over 20K acts of jihad around the world since 9-11. They aim to kill and maim as many people as possible. So I'd prefer the US not becoming another Iraq or Pakistan where bombings are a daily occurrence.

The main difference the terrorists and t shirt wearing leftists is that the terrorists have a religious doctrine which motivates their fanaticism. We don't talk about the religious devotion of the jihadi and how it is straight out the Koran. The leftists are mostly into fashion statements and style, not trying to please Allah and get into heaven.

The purpose of the photos was to show how Different they look. Perhaps that escaped your attention, and so you jumped to the typical knee jerk non sequitor leftist talking point?

In any event, the observation that blacks look similar to whites is a well known phenomenon, that has caused blacks to be incarcerated for rapes they never committed.

They'll never show up at your house where you'd have to actually deal with the reality of them. In most instances you'll never even have to fuck them. They add some desired drama to your dull life (coz, of course, they're all innocent, framed!).

The women tend to be either losers in the relationship department, or petrified of intimacy. They can safely project their romantic fantasies onto these guys, with whom they spend minimal amounts of time. I think R. Cook is right, about the nurturing fixation, but as important is the fact that the women are never going to have to test it and risk failing.; 5/12/13, 7:12 PM

Pftuie. Fine. The world would be better if I don't vote.

What the hell. Let's repeal the "wimmins-vote" amendment. So freeing, that would be.; 5/12/13, 11:31 PM

rcommal said...: For years and years here, there have been commenters who have lamented women getting the vote. It's been going on for so long, for the better part of a decade, that I now believe it's their true expression of point of view, stance and core value.; 5/13/13, 12:27 AM

Do you actually think that the things most destructive to your business have to do with women voting?; 5/13/13, 1:05 AM
bagoh20 said...: My business is just a vehicle, and doesn't suffer like those who depend on it. It is one of the least of many things damaged by the poor choices of most of the voters, and they have done very substantial damage. A majority of those voters were women. A majority were also young, and Democrats and Blacks, and minorities, etc, anyway you want to divide it up.

I'm not seriously suggesting that any legally franchised group should not have the right to vote, but I will shine a light on the foolishness and the foolish motivations, many of which included group identification. Pretending I'm some kind of bigot or sexist for that is your right, but it's innacurate.; 5/13/13, 1:18 AM
bagoh20 said...: And the the answer to you question is clearly "yes". Of course, I don't really think women should not vote just because they did poorly as a group, but I do want them to know they did that. I bet most still do not.; 5/13/13, 1:22 AM
bagoh20 said...: I believe a lot of things are worse in our country because women vote. That's true of other groups too. I think we would be better off if leftists didn't vote either, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have a right to vote. The effect of certain groups voting can be negative. It's just a fact. Believing otherwise is a silly proposition that all votes are equally well-informed, wise and positive.; 5/13/13, 1:34 AM
Anonymous said...: Well, of course other people voting their interests will not be synonymous with a result that advances your interests. Your way of voting would also affect other people's lives negatively were it to be the majority, so they then have the right to blame "your kind" for doing poorly as a group with their voting rights in the name of fearless pursuit truth.

It's very circular reasoning.; 5/13/13, 2:06 AM
bagoh20 said...: Not everything is subjective. All votes are not equally good, nor are the net votes of all groups. I'm not talking about my self interests , but the best interest of the nation.

Lets not be guilty of soft sexism here. Let the women defend themselves - unless they aren't man enough.

So ladies, what have men voted for as a group that's bad for the nation? I got a list in the other direction, so let's hear yours. And don't say "women's suffrage" because that actually would be circular, but accurate.; 5/13/13, 2:27 AM

Caroline said...: So ladies, what have men voted for as a group that's bad for the nation?

I couldn't answer your question because I don't think in those terms: men vs women; us vs them. I don't "keep score" for the team; (you really have a list?) And I don't want to play this game. I'm not looking for reasons to dislike men; I'm quite fond of men.

I also don't look for opportunities to blame individual men for the horrible actions of a few. Guilt by association is not my thing. I wish I wouldn't be called upon to defend myself or my gender for the actions of silly women. It's tiresome. I have no control over other women.

And finally, would I need to defend myself to you when I never voted for Obama, while my brother and my brother-in-law-- both over 40 -- who voted for Obama twice, would get a pass because they have testicles and therefore are on the "good" team?; 5/13/13, 5:04 AM

Besides, since we know married women went for Romney, we could just as easily blame all this on the current male anti-marriage movement. Step up and do your duty, guys. It's for your country!; 5/13/13, 8:58 AM

Virgil,

As long as the new amendment reads:

1. The 19th Amendment is hereby repealed;

2. Bob Wright doesn't get to vote, either.

I'd say at this point Bob Wright falls under the 19th Amendment.; 5/13/13, 12:15 PM
