(13,616 posts)Look, let's wave some magic wand and say with 100 percent certainty that this girl wanted to have sex. Of course, it is ludicrous, as most 14 years olds cannot decide what to have on their pizza, much less consent to sex, but let's say the power of magical thinking of behalf of 40 year old men has ensured that yes, this 14 year old actually wants to have sex.
Guess what, it does not matter what a minor wants, it is still A CRIME!
A CRIME
A CRIME
If you still do not get that, repeat this mantra until you do. I would suggest banging your head into a wall, but frankly, if you are stupid enough to believe a crime did not occur, I do not want some hospital wasting time trying to put your brains back into your skull!
Teenagers can want things really bad, does that mean we let them get it, no! Anyone who says this girl has any blame should hand over their wallets, credit cards included to any 14 year old teenager they see at the mall!
Or better yet, let them drive your car, you know, that nice new car that you bought to hide your small (censored)
Or let them be in your house when you are out. Keys to the liquor cabinet, access to all your pills and cigarettes, the whole 9.
Of course, the tragedy is, some men would do this if they thought they would get laid.
And for the men;s right's advocates out there, I was in Tampa bay when the whole "sexy teacher" BS with Debra Lafave went loose. I cannot speak for all feminists, but I am sure there were many mothers/aunts/sisters/grandmothers etc. who wanted to string miss "hot teacher" up from the flagpole, because yes, it was RAPE!, one of the few ways a male can actually be raped. Said kid in the Lafave case got made fun of so much by the media, he hides now...because people thought he was a (censored word for homosexual) for telling his mom what happened, instead of getting more...Yes, we have our first male slut shaming!
So, no, havign sex with teenagers is not cool, and no, you do not get to blame the 14 year old. The next person that blames the girl needs to hand over the wallet, keys, and anything else to some 14 year old, after all, you just cannot resists giving them what they want, right?
