#MeAt14: Women tweet photos of when they were age Pedo Moore's accuser was


Women are reacting to the allegations that Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore had attempted sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32 by posting images of themselves to Twitter of them when they were that age.

On Thursday night, shortly after the Washington Post reported the claims against Moore, Catherine Lawson, a North Carolina lawyer, posted to Twitter a photo of herself at 14.

“Can’t consent at 14. Not in Alabama. Not anywhere,” Lawson wrote, adding the hashtag “#MeAt14.”

I’ve said it before here, but it deeply saddens me that this is even a discussion, let alone a debate. It saddens me more that kids have to deal with this.

Effy! Frederikke Dahl Hansen is positively mesmerizing and spoiler alert:
she'll break your heart.


Awkward, but this movie makes it work.

I was 14 and the only photo of me is my school photo. I didn't own a camera and film was expensive. I think my dad had one but he was the only one that knew how to use it.

. . . of my daughter at age 14 (she's . . . well, she's now a certain age). I wouldn't let nice, polite 16-year-old boys near her, let alone a 32-yr-old asshole.

Roy Moore and the biblebeaters who support him are sick, sick, sick.

I was living with an aunt and uncle who were alcoholics; I slept on their couch and looked after my cousins (an infant and a toddler). My dad was hospitalized out of state and my mum could not take care of me at that time. There are no pictures of me at age 14. And no way would I have been a suitable date for a 32-yr old man; the very idea is sickening.
