I just want to say I think we should take her word for it. I had consensual relations with two twenty-some year olds when I was 14/15, and was raped by two teenaged peers when 16/17. I was totally able to distinguish between the two and even now decades later I know exactly which experiences I would choose to repeat,…

Based on what she said about family life and the crowd she was hanging with at school (“I was the last virgin”), I don’t think she saw anything wrong or in the least untoward about what was going on. As messed up as it all was, that life was her normal. One can accept it as her truth without saying that it’s OK across…

Well, to be fair to Maddox and Bowie she was certainly not young enough to be his daughter. There is no evidence he was fucking 15 year olds when he was in his 30s and 40s.

Except what Jimmy Savile did is absolutely nothing like what David Bowie did. Savile raped hundreds of young women, with no consent whatsoever.

I cringed when I saw the headline. I was prepared for this to be a “Your Fave is Problematic”-style takedown of Bowie, and I honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to read it. I clicked anyhow and was pleasantly surprised.
