Yep. My husband is 14 years older than me, which only works because we are both grown adults. But when I was an inexperienced, unsure teenager, dating someone even one grade older than me had the potential for a weird power imbalance.

Yeah, I was an isolated teen too (I lived in a neighborhood full of retirees, and my school was an hour away (plus I had a parent who expected me home immediately after school, and STAY at home at all times)). I also liked older men then because, come on, most boys mature slower than girls. In 8th grade, all the girls…

Here you go:

Makeup is FUN. It’s creative, and if you are good at doing it (and there are youtube tutorials for even near hopeless cases like me), it is actually rewarding and enjoyable. Wearing makeup doesn’t signify low self esteem, or shallowness, or a desire to be older, or any of this hand wringy shit. OK? You can personally…

G-L-O-R-I-A Gloooooria!
My girl G is bringing it hard on the Tyga. She is a little cray at times, but calling out Tyga and OK! like that is awesome. Keep it up, chica!

So many issues:

I disagree, he’s going after yoing white girls and r. Kelky went after black girls. The race of the victims defenilty will have an impact on this and tyga isnt that big of a star and has no money. So i could see him getting in trouble for this.

When I was 18 I dated a 23 year old who was better able to abuse me because I was straight off the farm innocent. Big power imbalance.

It’s a sailboat! ;-)

I felt really bad for her. I didn’t know her all that well. I used to see my friends flirt outrageously with older guys and the men would gently shut that shit down and act like mature adults. It makes me so angry gross perverts pretend like its all the girls fault cause “They look like grown women!”

Wait, was he cheating or just peeing and playing with his butt? Those are very different.

EXACTLY. Meeting at 28/35- wouldn’t bat an eye. You most likely are two adults who have been in at least a few relationships or have dated awhile. You have a much better idea of who you are as a person as well. Meeting at 17/24 is totally different. Teenagers (and some early 20 year olds TBH) about relationships and…

Yeah, she has a history of representing women in high-profile sexual harassment cases, and that makes her very unpopular.

Uh, okay, sure, the guy attempting to groom her in order to molest her and the woman saying that that’s wrong are totally on the same page. Yeah, that makes sense.

Big boob sisters unite!

I’ve come to a point where I actually appreciate the role she plays for women who need a voice.. I’m not sure she’s someone I’d enjoy a girls night out with (but then again, who knows)? But of late she seems to be in the mode of, “I don’t give a shit if you like me or not. This is still something that you should…

I was actually thinking that they are both very beautiful.

I am usually somewhat leery of Allred, but I completely agree with her on this. A 25 year old sexually grooming a 14 year old girl is not a “sex scandal”, it’s a potential crime. She’s a potential victim if anything happened, not a mistress in a cheating scandal.

So their parents basically decided for the Olsens when they were infants that they were going to be on this sitcom. They did extremely lame shows and straight-to-DVDs for a good 20 years of their lives. Sure, it made them billionaires, but now they’ve moved on.

I used to skateboard as a kid, I haven’t skateboarded since 18, so for 20 years now. Does that mean I’m still a skateboarder even if I can’t ride a board without breaking both my ankles?
