    Okay, so if or when Megan’s daughter Yardly hits puberty (she’s 14), she’s fair game for men? That’s not pedophilia? That isn’t statutory rape? Really??? And with more and more girls having their first period as early as 9, that wouldn’t be pedophilia to pursue and have sex with them? What a piece of shit for a woman and mother.

    These people would literally in every sense of the word, drag our entire civilization back to a dark age of brutality and horror and despair and abuse of innocence just to preserve their own twisted self-delusion of being the “good guys.”

    Remember people: this is the REAL face of evil, it’s when normal humans make excuses for harm to others. It’s when someone like you or me makes the choice to tell themselves a story for why they aren’t bad. This is how every atrocity has ever been facilitated.

    If we allow these narratives to stand, we are going to experience an age of modern atrocity.

      I think because this person has a reach themselves. I haven’t followed lately, but she was even hired on “liberal” TV news networks for a while, after coming from Fox News. Makes no sense to me, but apparently people will listen to anyone shoved in front of their faces. They probably think they’re being fair, when in reality they’re super ignorant and don’t ask questions.

    If, at any point in your life, any part of your stance involves the language “technically not a pedophile,” for any fucking reason, you’re entirely on the wrong side of the situation.

    "This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls,

    That’s not ‘barely legal’…

        The point about puberty meaning a girl is “mature enough for sex”.

        Menstruation isn’t a sign of sexual maturity.

        Being pregnant as a teen is a serious health complication.

        I feel like the argument they were making was that if the girl has went through puberty (started menstration) she’s old enough and it doesn’t count as a child anymore.

        I was pointing out that this process occurs at age 11-12 for most girls.

        Girls.

        Menstruation or puberty is an irrelevant factor.

        Honestly I think age of consent should be set to 20. With exceptions made for a 2 year age difference.

        We don’t let people buy alcohol until 21. Don’t you think making a baby is a bigger responsibility than having a drink ?

    If we’re being technical, it may not be pedophilia, but it’s still morally wrong and these people still should be arrested

    It should be also pointed out that he’s totally innocent of elder abuse, due to the age of the victims. Why are people refusing to see the bright side of this? There are scores of crimes he’s innocent of!
