there is no such thing as "underaged" women. if the female is underage, she is NOT a woman,

she is LEGALLY a MINOR CHILD (regardless of the age of consent in AL). if she is a woman, she is over the age of 18.

I absolutely despise this twisting of the language to make it seem like moore, for example, was actually involved with adults, not minors.

Adam Lanza and Dylann Roof were "20 year old kid" and "21 year old kid"s respectively.

I had forgotten her name but can't forget what happened to her or how the liberal media failed so hard when reporting how our brave honorable warfighters raped that little girl and murdered her family. They had plenty of excuses for the inexcusable.

graduated from high school or have not reached the age of 18 to be girls. After that, they're women. That differentiation has worked pretty well over the years.

I point out that sloppy language is sloppy thought.

My complaint is that Dem politicians wrap too many weasel-words and qualifiers around basic concepts.

"A possible alleged misstatement may possibly have unintentionally been spoken by President Trump."

vs

"Trump brazenly lied."

Both are technically correct (though passive voice is poor style). The first one tiptoes. The second one communicates.

Joseph was supposely 90-year-old widower, with six children, when given control of Mary, who was just 12!

The apocryphal History of Joseph the Carpenter, written in the 5th century and framed as a biography of Joseph dictated by Jesus, describes how Joseph, aged 90 (the Protoevangelium had not given Joseph a specific age), a widower with four sons and two daughters, is given charge of the twelve-year-old Mary, who then lives in his household raising his youngest son James the Less (the supposed author of the Protoevangelium) until she is ready to be married at age 14½. Joseph's death at the age of 111, attended by angels and asserting the perpetual virginity of Mary, takes up approximately half the story.[41]
