The New York Times is under fire for an Instagram post suggesting viral video of women reporting being randomly punched on the streets might be “stoking anxiety” about crime in the Big Apple – a take dozens of commenters viewed as sexist.

The post shared on the @nytstyle Instagram Thursday afternoon linked to an article about the recent spate of videos from young female TikTokkers sharing similar stories of men punching them in the face on the sidewalk.

“You need to rewrite this whole caption. ‘Men are violently attacking women in NYC,’” one commenter wrote underneath the post, which ran with the headline “Is TikTok Stoking Anxiety About Street Crime in NYC?”

The lengthy caption stated that “high-profile episodes that get a lot of online coverage often have the potential to fuel a misleading impression of how pervasive crime is.”

“The New York Times is under fire”

Yeah, somehow I think the nyt will weather the storm.

In a week nobody will remember this

I just saw this. I don't think it qualifies as sexist. NYT just wants to downplay crime. I'm sure they'd lash out even more if men were complaining.

If the attackers were white men, NYT would be taking a completely different approach.

Why not tell the whole truth NYT? Black men are punching white women in the city with sucker punches. Then they can call you racist as well. You can do it NYT.

It’s the women’s fault for not wearing football helmets.

If he women carried guns as is their SCOTUS determined right, the Black men would back off

One or two dead Black assholes might just end the practice

No doubt that is coming as the remedy. We know it won’t be law & order or anything related.

"black males attacking random White women in racist tidal wave of violence."

The urban black culture teaches from birth that the white person is not your friend, to hate. It is ingrained their hearts and minds.

This crap does not happen where people have the ability to defend themselves.
