A 19-year-old 100-level student was caught attempting to poison her male friend, sparking debates online. One comment read, “Don’t date broke girls, sometimes it doesn’t end well,” blaming financial struggles for her actions.
This comment shifts focus from personal responsibility to a generalization about women’s financial status. Poverty doesn’t automatically lead to criminal behavior, and wealth doesn’t guarantee morality. Instead of stereotyping, discussions should address deeper issues like personal values, mental health, and the influences that drive people to commit such acts.
