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

This isn’t something I really talk about, but I became sexually active at twelve. I was coerced into having sex with my 15-year-old boyfriend by this skeezy older guy (I think he was in his early twenties.) who watched the whole thing to make sure we really did it.

I'm just going to come right out and say it —- no fourteen year old should date a seventeen year old. And we should discontinue the assertion that girls are more mature than boys. It justifies nothing.

I was that girl. I was deeply insecure and socially isolated in a very unstable, emotionally abusive home whose reality was masked by money. But I had the eating disorder, the cutting, panic attacks, all kinds of red flags that all was not well at home. I was around this age when MySpace was big and I ended up sending…

This is why statutory rape laws are good. You can’t consent legally at 14 which takes out the emotion/conflict you feel.

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.

She may have “wanted it” but that’s why these laws exist, because the ADULT needs to know better.

What’s so insidious about predatory grooming like this is that it makes you feel in your gut like a “victim of delusion” even when you know in your head you were a victim of deception.

This was unequivocally abuse, but many people will try to defend it by saying, “But this was sorta okay hundreds of years ago!”

I’m glad it’s out there, but the idea of putting anything inside me that can make my considerable cramps and bleeding any bit worse is not an option I’ll ever choose.

Don’t give a shit. I LOVE the idea of paranormal exterminators. It’s such a great concept. I LOVE Feig’s work (SPY, Bridesmaids), as well as Wiig’s and McCarthy’s.

Fuck all y’all haters.

Are you serious? It's the same damn concept except Battle Royale doesn't hold back for the pg13 rating.

can we also please stop calling it a female reboot and call it just a reboot???

I don’t remember this level of outcry for the new Batman reboot, darker and with an Englishman cast as Batman.

Except that The Hunger Games already exists with a male lead, under the title of Every Other Action Movie Ever Made: Parts XXI-DCLXVI.

Not sure “controversy” is the right word to describe what surrounds the Ghostbusters remake. “Controversy” implies some legitimate material dispute of facts, interpretations, or values. This is just a mass man-child temper tantrum.

Or is it just not a bunch of angry men claiming women cannot play such roles such as Ghostbusters?
