I feel like people constantly feel sooo inconvenienced that I can’t hear them.

Good for your daughter! I still have my hearing mostly, but it’s...not great. People make me feel like I’m inconveniencing them so much asking them to repeat themselves or for needing CC on. I’m scared about my hearing getting even worse.

Thank you.

This.

Thanks :)

I edited my response to explain to you exactly why you’re speaking out of your ass.

S/he probably thinks a 10 year old can consent to sex too. Sigh.

The issue is whether or not age impacts an individual’s ability to give consent. Children don’t have the mental capacity to consent to sex with an adult. I bet you think a 12 year old “agreeing” to sex with a 45 year old is just a-okay too, huh?

Where exactly are you getting this information that sex workers “usually” do pretend to be older? Another Hollywood movie you’d like to recommend to us?

There are people who certainly view it that way, but that’s not everyone here or even most people here. I’m certainly not trying to stop the free flow of ideas. There is room here for everyone to have an opinion. I don’t think anyone is trying to shut the conversation down by expressing the opinion that paying a 15…

Kinja isn’t allowing me to see what this is a response to. Without any context I don’t know what point you’re trying to get across.

You’re fake news. Sad!

Donald doesn’t seem to be very interested in anyone or anything who isn’t Donald or Ivanka. He seems to like trotting Melania out to be all “look at this pretty thing I have”, but they interact like a couple who haven’t seen each other naked in years and prefer it that way. Donald consistently shows far more warmth…

Are you sure Marc Jacobs isn’t behind all this?

Who died and made you King Sandwich!?

I agree that this was absolutely statutory rape (if the allegations are true).

Yes. Exactly.

I obviously cannot know if people in general would take this less seriously if the victim was female. I think Jezebel commenters usually have a pretty healthy amount of empathy for young female victims and understand the severity of sexual assault charges. People in the world in general seem to regard people of both…

I’m a sex worker. I don’t mind anyone raising questions or asking about context.

A little off topic but what confused me so much about the public reaction to the Polanski case is the way people acted like he had some sort of had “consensual” encounter with her that was only illegal due to her age.
