I never understood why the man’s age is important? Are we expected to be more forgiving of older pedos than younger ones? If he’s 18, 25, 35, non of those make it right. 14y is 14y end of story.
ETA: not sure where the downvotes are coming from, it looks like people think the age gap is more important than the fact that the girl is a minor. Or people think that I’m condoning this behaviour? Either way, I’m saying Pedo is pedo, doesn’t matter if the man is 18 or 88. And I’m saying man not boy. Different jurisdictions have different rules on how minors can interact with each other, this is not about that.
Also, I think is it’s telling for our patriarchy that the male age is seen as a factor. I would have hoped that by now we would see it more (or at least also) from the victim’s perspective.
One of my first truly disappointing days on Lemmy. I’ll just stay here to get the orange out, and then I’m out too.
I mean, would be different if he was like 15. Can't go wrong with highlighting the huge gulf in age.
I said man, not boy. And since when does what I said warrant downvoting? The new reddit is starting to look a lot like the old reddit
Lemvotes.org will show you who downvoted you. Usually it’s just a single troll in the thread but sometimes if you say something dumb people will disagree.
