Why is the person's gender relevant?
Because it's in the title of the post
and why is it there? I still don't get the relevance
Because the information is known, so it's mentioned. It's the same as if it was a man who did it.
In this case, it's because it was from a specific TikTok creator.
then why is it being called out as if there was a difference? that's what I don't understand.
It's not. The gender is known, so it's mentioned.
Same reason headlines say "Florida Man" and not "Florida Human"
Hey, are you okay? Having a bad day?
I'm wonderful! Thanks for asking.
Why does it matter?
Are you illiterate?
I don’t think it is but the headline clearly mimics a standard newspaper headline. I don’t think it’s trying to say something about genders, just saying something about how media communicates.
