Teeeeeebow!

Are they to be whipped for their "crime"?

I was expecting the "is that play legal?" clip. Well played.

Crazy Aunt is an example

This is also why Jez has a stereotype for misandry and trying to force every event into its institutional narrative that everything is evidence and because of the persecution complex.

Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are the worst of the worst. They're selfish assholes who don't give a fuck that actual children might die because their little snowflake is "too special" for regular vaccines. I honestly think that children who aren't vaccinated (by choice) legally shouldn't allowed out…

*sigh* I guess I'll just have to be resigned to the fact that this generic shooter is going to get the most coverage out of any next-gen game.

I have read several times stories about boys about that age (13, 14, 15) being called rapists, so yes, I would call that girl a rapist. Seriously, can you imagine having a 14 year old having sex with an 8 year old? That's a huge development difference! It's a disgusting and creepy thought, no matter if the girl is 14…

I've represented low-income criminal defendants, including in a couple of child abuse cases. Most of the abusers have themselves been victims of childhood abuse, and I really do feel for them, like you do. But that doesn't make what they did okay. It doesn't make them any less culpable.

Are you for real right now?!?!? Now he's lying?!?!

Does anyone really think *anyone,* male or female, just "pops" out of the womb a rapist? Would you be asking this question if the genders had been reversed? How is it relevant?

No, I do not think that she popped out of the womb as a rapist. I think that reducing her to a victim without knowing anything about her other than that she raped someone allows her to escape culpability for her actions. Maybe she was abused. Statistically, it's very likely. But you don't get to assume. You don't get…

I lost my virginity under the age of consent to someone of the same age*

And I hope your kids fail their AP Physics test because they were expecting lots of questions over Creationism.

I've replied to NinjaKate downthread with that answer, but am replying to you here so that you'll know I've responded.

You too left out something. Check out the rest of the thread.

Why does it matter that she was a girl? Rape is rape. Women and girls can commit rape too, and although rape is generally a crime male people commit, it is still abuse if a female person commits it. When a 14-year-old and an 8-year-old have sex, the 8-year-old definitely can't consent, but we should expect the…

Yes, I am. Way to try to wield an inclusive movement against a victim. Having sex with an 8 year old is wrong and abusive. How are you even asking this question?

You said it all, right there.

Statutory rape is rape. Acting like it's a lesser thing is problematic.
