It varies from state to state, but it's usually 16-18. Most states have a "window" of about 2-4 years age difference with minors. For example, it could be legal in a state for a 16 year old and a 19 year old to have sex... but a 16 year old and a 21 year old having sex would be illegal.

When (major airline) accidentally overbooks an international flight by 40 passengers (Yes. 40!), tells a large family flying coach who purchased tickets nearly a year in advance, "um, we can split you guys up on three different planes, sorry your minor children might have to do an 14 hour flight solo and wait another…

Go away, troll.

Do it— and not just to protect her from creeps. I chose to be a "SAHM" to my preemie daughter. She has some minor developmental delays. We plan to homeschool. Our doctors said she may never walk, talk, etc. Guess what? She is doing all that and more. Her doctors are amazed, and all the OT, PT, and ST people said we…

An adult having sex with a child is rape, regardless of what either adult or child says.

Mass shootings, raping children with special needs, stories about homes for unwed mothers... Fuck the world, man. I want off this planet!

I know a woman (friend's mom) who was forced into one of these places as a teen around 1960ish because her parents refused to sign the permission slip for their 15 year old to obtain an abortion. She was forced to have a baby and forced to put her daughter for adoption. The baby was adopted by a family in her home…

Thanks for clarifying. Usually when I explain vagina size variation to people, they look at me like WOAHMINDBLOWN.

Usually, I read the original op-ed piece being discussed after I read something like this on Jez, so I can form my own opinion. But the title alone and the snippets included here... I can't even.

Generally, "not an abusive dipshit" is high on the list of qualities someone looks for in a potential spouse. I got the eff out of my last co-habitating non-married relationship because of abuse.

I think they are implying blended families& step kids. Wow, now I get the phrase "beat you like a red headed step child." Thanks, WaPo!

Hey, Washington Post! I figured out how to end rape and teen pregnancy altogether- CHASTITY BELTS!!!

Some men have small penises. Some men have large penises. Most are somewhere in between.

No difference really. Just that my boobs hurt like hell if they don't get "relief" at least once every three or four days.

As someone who once lived in a town where one of the most deadly mass shootings happened, I can't open a newspaper without risking a panic attack. Did I seriously just type "one of the most deadly mass shootings"? What a sad world we live in.
