Man stabbed by girlfriend, name published by the media. His female attacker? Safely anonymous.

This is ridiculous. I do not know New York State law, but it is normal that the victim's name in the case of domestic violence is kept anonymous while the attacker's name is published.

Write directly to the reporter, ask for an edit and followup. That's how things change, right?

What could possibly be the reason for not naming her? Did they just not know? That's implausible since getting arrested is a public action. Weird.

The Rochester media had published both names pretty immediately as when the cops put them out. It's not that the WSJ's granted anonymity to the attacker, just that either they put the story on their site within the normal timeframe between an incident and when police release names, or that because it was picked up for being an "unusual" story the names were not as important as the incident itself. (former reporter on the court/cops beat)

Well, even women who commit crimes that aren't lying about rape now get protected from being named. Isn't our two-tiered social system where men are second class citizens at best great?

became enraged and stabbed her boyfriend after learning that he had "friended" another woman on Facebook.

Yet another reason not to use Facebook.
