Can you help me make the connection in my head to how this is female privilege? The best I can come up with is them using it as a shield for their awful gossipy BS, but I can't imagine them ever getting called for that at school anyway. Never heard of any such examples at least.
I know someone personally who was expelled one year for making fun of a guy on Twitter a handful of years ago. It was kinda a turd move but 13 year olds are stupid. I was a bit surprised because back in my day school was separate from outside school
Fair enough. Not sure I agree since I tend to favor reducing restrictions over more in generally all cases. Schools make it even more so. I've worked at schools and of course went to them and the administration of a school is about the most power hungry group second to politicians.
I will have to figure out how to find the Supreme Court cases, as if Thomas rejected it I'd like to read his dissent.
To me, it seems like the ruling only takes away powers from teachers/administration and has no effect on legal system. Meaning that if it had been sadistic tactics towards young boys, the law can't do anything beyond what already exists (e.g. harassment, stalking, libel) no matter how the case would have gone.
I'm all for taking powers away from school administrations. Teachers and admins are group ripe with hate, favoritism, self-importance, and a sense they have to do a fake justice to everything. If a young boy had been the victim of sadistic girls, I'd expect the school to turn it around on the boy myself. I'd prefer the law be there that the school can't do shit to any parties for outside of school things. It may not stop the boys from harassment, but it will stop the school from being a party to it, at least legally.
I read Thomas' dissent as well, it's mostly having to do with precedent. It's not a horrible argument he puts together, if you believe in the precedent that schools are the kids parents when they are there. "In loco parentis" is the term he uses.

Good thing happen to girl
Girl privilege
Uh...no? It's harder to make a libel claim as a public figure, private persons have a much easier time suing someone for libel.
This is a more intelligent take than your earlier "plaintiff should have lost because she is female".
