@MissContrarian: "And while this case of incest seems particularly icky and fraught with issues of consent (so I understand the resistance to try and view all things as equal), that doesn't necessarily hold true for other types."

@FlowbeeBryant: Really, every single article on this talks about how the daughter is crazy?

@MissContrarian: Yeah, I understood that. There are two points: Taboo, and consent. Except actually they are both just about consent.

@FlowbeeBryant: Sure, she can just be crazy. We all agree that wanting to fuck your dad is crazy, yeah? But you don't think that wanting to fuck your daughter is crazy? Why do you keep asking about her mental stability but not his?

@brick frog: I don't know why having emotional and substance abuse problems at all, let alone post-abortion, would qualify you as a bad feminist.

@AristotlesCrab: But how would one separate the situation "Epstein's daughter thinks the sex was consensual" from "her "consent" was problematic in any way (she was brainwashed, coerced, etc.)"?

@Doddibot: But you still can't consent to working for lower than minimum wage; you can't consent to working in highly dangerous conditions at a factory that everyone knows would never pass OSHA inspection; you can't consent to selling your kidney; you can't consent to someone without a medical degree giving you heart…

@bunnygloves: "why, if we're changing the definition of marriage to mean any two individuals, this shouldn't be expanded to include incestuous relationships."

Here's the thing: how would this have been reported to the police if she didn't report it? Is it likely that she told someone "Oh I had a consensual relationship with my dad. The sex was great but he always left the toilet seat up so I hand to end it." And then that someone reported it to the police, despite the…

@FlowbeeBryant: Really? Hyper-liberal, "nothing is ever anyone's fault" type of thought? The belief that incest between parent and child should be illegal, and the belief that the parent should be held responsible—you categorize that as "nothing is ever anyone's fault" type of thought?

@AristotlesCrab: @AristotlesCrab: "The "art" part allows critics (and performers and directors and choreographers ...) to make aesthetic judgments about the bodies of dancers that are completely ungrounded, having nothing to do with a dancer's skills, abilities, or technical execution. It's why Macauley couldn't find…

@thesluttypumpkin: Try not to use human logic when it comes to anti-choice people.

@LolaLane: Yeah, it's definitely that we hear about it more. You can definitely read cases where old men were raping 9 year-old kids in the 16th century Europe, but once a girl turned ten it was basically open season on her, since it was basically impossible for people to understand that just because a man put his…

@illegal3alien:

@talys: Ah you are amazing for not only checking these names for us but also for explaining this clearly and concisely. Thank you so much!

@laurasaurus: yer smart.

@vamvaki_poulaki: I am paranoid about accidentally consuming pieces of broken glass, or ground up glass that someone baked into cookies to assassinate someone but I accidentally ate one instead.

@talys: Cimorene, please! Thank you for offering to do this; the internets confuse me and I do not understand these things. I have no idea how concerned I should be about my online banking, and all that good stuff.
