If you were 18 would you let a 30 year old b**** manipulate you for her own causes?

18 is still young but youre still old enough to understand s*** like that cmon

Unless you had s***ty parents

No I’m assuming that every 30 year old that thinks it’s okay to try and seduce an 18 year old is a weirdo f***ing sociopath

correct. i don't think that's what this part of the piece centers around tho and many people have pointed out this discussion being had/threads being locked already. that's all i meant.

but i can see why it being attached to the britney piece would spark the conversation, along with the age gap.

Nah man what the f***

not every person sees age as a dealbreaker if they’re adults let’s not be crass about this

it’s not about “seduction” and s***and power this and that every single time

I guess

Uhhhh well they should lmao

that is a subjective view

an 18 year old is barely an adult lmao

i read it all it's a lengthy but engaging article. i have to watch that britney doc too. i never knew about the david lachapelle shoot and her remarks about it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

but they ARE an adult

there are 18 year olds who have every ounce of maturity that a 30 year old would have, or even more

you can’t create blanket rules

“Sociopath”

"The terms that so many stories of sexual assault are forced into, and the demands placed on victims and abusers to look and act in a recognizable way, make the thought of naming my abuser in public seem like something that would only cause me more pain. So does the possibility of any self-appointed vigilantes attempting to do so on my behalf. The notion of monitoring a mob I didn’t ask for sounds exhausting, whether this mob is coming for his head or mine. The awareness that my experience would be transmuted into a fascination with his moral character makes me want to get offline forever. It is easy to imagine a world where audiences’ infatuation with fame takes priority over a survivor’s needs."

yeah idk how well this is gonna work out for her now tho social media gon do its thing

The open and accepted sexualization of Brittney Spears when she was a teen is so f***ing weird in a post Cuties world.

grown men fantasizing about hooking up with a 18-year olds belong in cages. that s*** is not cool

the power dynamic and dichotomy of a mono-amorous relationship is far more complicated and nuanced than simply looking at the age of two people

The person I am now vs 18 are two completely different people. Like f***, I was still physically growing at 18.

If there's one thing I know I do better now is set boundaries that keep me out of situations that let someone take advantage of me and I know I'm not in the minority there

American media has always sexualized underaged women, it's f***ing disgusting. Brittney, Olsen twins, etc.

But why can't a 18yo girl make decisions for herself though... If she wants to have casual s***with her classmates or a person she met on tinder, whatever age they may be (legal) : isn't that her prerogative?

The reason why I created the daughter scenario is cuz I really feel like this whole "she's still a child, protect her!" only goes for women....

I'm pretty sure the same ones would let their 17yo sons f*** anyone older than them...

That's why I asked

Is this confirm him... like all signs point to him?

this is the big issue

simply having s***with an adult who is 18 is not an issue regardless of age, it’s when repeated and (quasi-)predatory behavior begins to show itself
