You show me an identical situation where the gender roles are flipped, and I’ll have an opinion on it.
For the record, I think Jenny was extremely gross for what she did (I’m uniquely qualified to comment on this) but the entire point of the story is that it’s nuanced and complex. And far more nuanced and complex than "every time someone says a girl is a sympathetic character, I have to change the entire discussion to but men!"
Because if you flip the gender roles she’d be considered a rapist and everyone would be up in arms about it
But because sad traumatized girl it’s okay.
I tell ya what.
