That doesn't really answer my question.

"they all have no compassion at all, they're all unintelligent, etc."

"What is privacy again?"

Look, the commenter I responded to was a dick to the author, sure. But I guess that gets a pass from me because I think Pinkham is a raging fucking asshole and a bully whose writing style he stole from Maddox circa 1999. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised then that his "I'm so edgy; see how I…

I wasn't talking to you. Dismissed.

How would a gun have made this situation any better?

I'm a meat-eater, but it makes me really sad that you're receiving so much abuse for a perfectly reasonable, polite, clearly heartfelt, and articulate comment.

Does this really need to be posted on every single article about women who sexually abuse kids? Every fucking time?

I sincerely don't understand your point about "it either needs to be this way or that way, period." Why? What's wrong with nuance and judging things on a case-by-case basis? The world isn't black and white.

Ditto.

Fantasies don't have to be logical. In fact they rarely are.

I think the idea is to lure students in with sexy-sounding classes, and then use those classes as a venue for educating about consent.
