I don't know if that's "misogyny" or celebrity worship.

The male director of "Leaving Neverland", a documentary about Michael Jackson, received death threats, even though Jackson's alleged victims were male.

From the article:

"The Post’s decisions about Sonmez seem to have been motivated largely by
social media pressures and the fear of bad press".

As I said, I don't know if we can conclude "misogyny" here.

However, I do agree that being a victim of sexual assault doesn't *necessarily* mean biased reporting. Unless there's objective reason to conclude bias, such as faulty reporting, I don't think the Post should've barred her.
