Not really the place and time for this meme maybe?

No, you freak. Jesus, what is wrong with you?

My first boyfriend, the guy I “lost” my virginity to, was 22 when we started dating. I was 15. I lied and had told him I was 16, not that that really makes any difference whatsoever. At the time, I thought it was super exciting and cool (even though he turned out to be complete trash and a psychopath). Looking back on…

Someone doing mental math to justify being with a 14 year-old is a predatory piece of shit.

I’m not sure if this covers what you are trying to say, but I always think of it like this: it’s ok for teenagers to feel desire for adults, but it’s the adults’ responsibility to make sure they don’t respond.

Totes convincing. Tell us more about the 13 year old “women” that older men should be allowed to fuck.

Consign. Further, no 14 year old girl considers herself on par with a 17 year old guy, even if they are the same “matirity” (broad brush there, which makes me uncomfortable). There is a power dynamic here that people are failing to realize.

Sorry that happened with you and totally agree on the side eye towards people who date way outside their stage in life.

No it is not true. It’s something you’re very committed to espousing to justify men preying on children for sex. You chanting “girls are three years more mature than boys” doesn’t make it a fact. It makes you transparent.

This is so ridiculous because it suggests all women mature at the same rate, as well as all men. It’s insane. It has no bearing. Go away.

14 year old girls aren’t women, they’re children. So it doesn’t matter how much faster women mature than men.

Desire and abuse aren’t mutually exclusive and I think it’s a really tricky concept to navigate around, especially when girls have been trained to look at men as dominant since forever.

I mean, 100 years ago, women couldn’t vote. 200 years ago, it was totally normal to own slaves. 300 years ago, duels were still a thing.

Seriously, this is creepy as shit to be like, “Imma just regard 14 year old girls like 17 year olds instead. Cause I feel like I can justify that.” A 14 year old WOMAN? Just fucking stop.

I was 17. He was 27. I’m now 35, and only recently admitted to myself he was a sexual predator.

What 26-year-old man other than a sexual abuser and/or rapist would be even remotely interested in a 14-year-old child? That’s something I will never understand.

Um, no.

“I was almost obsessed with having a man feel like he wants me. It made me feel great and I didn’t care what he did or how old he was”

I agree with Rita Ora.
