Child abuse laws are for courts and judges, who have access to all the relevant information. I don't play judge in my pajamas at home with my computer, labeling strangers (strangers whom I know nothing about!) as rapists. Doing so will not help anyone. I knew nothing much of the girl and the boy in my example, and I…

My main issue is: what if, what if you found out later on that the girl was intoxicated and gang raped by Chris Brown's boy gang? Do you know what happened? How would you feel, if you were the girl, and you went on the internet and you found out Chris Brown told everyone this story, and people were now calling you a…

Okay, to prove that I am not a total horrible sexist, I want to parallel this with another incident I heard about years ago. In Singapore, an 8 year old was impregnated by a 12 year old classmate. I never called the 12 year old boy a rapist. I saw them as both the losers, even though the girl would probably have…

It is screwed up to automatically assume that a male will have power over a female purely based on his sex alone. But it is also screwed up to automatically assume that a child has power over another purely based on her age alone.

It isn't. But calling an underage child a "rapist" creates a problematic situation- it is implied that she abused an 8 year old. You don't know this. All we know is that two children had sex, and the only account is from Chris Brown many years later. For all we know Chris Brown forced her into it. I am not saying he di…

Your comments might not be popular but I am so thankful that you survived what you did. And they are the most insightful things I have read all day.

Please stop harassing other people. Telling other people to die (I have seen your comments in another thread) and to stop posting is just horrible, horrible of you. The fact that you have opinions doesn't render everyone else's invalid. Please respect this community and be nice! Arguing is fine but what you're doing…

What kind of sick person defends a rapist?

Yes, yes everything about your comments. I really don't agree with Doug with all his "haha look black man boasting about having sex at age 8, such a PiMp" but saying a 14 year old female RAPED Chris Brown? That's just wrong. We have to acknowledge that both parties were victims, instead of pinning the blame on an…

These are two children who "consented" to having sex, BOTH of them would be considered as doing something illegal, but neither would be the rapist. You, labeling an underage girl as a RAPIST seems to imply that she is not only able to consent to sex, but to force it upon someone else. Unless your definition of rape =…

Two children under the age of consent had sex. This is clear and simple. There is no statutory rapist in this situation because there was NO STATUTORY RAPE because the girl is not of a HIGHER STATUS. labeled is not siding with a rapist- she is pointing out that she is not a criminal.

How is that not an adult choice? Practically everyone famous or trying to be famous is posing with Terry Richardson. I think this is the time when she is finally getting the chance to make her own decisions, rather than being confined by expectations to be a sweet, lovable, country Disney character. Her choices though…

Aww thanks! For some reason I didn't get a notification when you replied,it was probably due to the fact that you were pushed into the grays ):

Your comments on this thread is the stupidest thing I have read today.

holy shit that's some sweet ass necklace

Please please don't give up on her. That would be a selfish thing to do and she seems like an awfully lovely person who's sad and needs help. How is the relationship unhealthy? You can hang out with her, eat with her, bring her out into the sunshine. These things are usually important for depressed people.

Yeahhhhhh there were definitely parts of Sinead's letter that made me cringe but overall I think she was basing it on her own experience. Maybe she was seeing Miley as a younger version of herself and thinking that Miley was complying to the standard that was forced upon her. I do think Miley looks like she's having…

I think Sinead isn't just warning Miley alone, but other aspiring artists and the consumers of pop music. She puts in a lot of effort into these rambling letters (I lost count too, honestly they're not super interesting) and I think the intention was to expose Hollywood culture and raise awareness of how females are…
