20 year old woman and 14 year old boy? no, it's wrong. Scout Mar 2012 #19

Yeah, it is wrong. But that's not the case in question. This was a 20 yr old woman & 14 yr. old girl Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #20

or... it could be the last paragraph from the OP having the question shift to seabeyond Apr 2012 #21

nah, couldn't be that seabeyond, Scout Apr 2012 #22

And THAT was very evident on another thread on DU MadrasT Apr 2012 #24

thing is, i have teenage boys and nephews and a lot of their friends around seabeyond Apr 2012 #25

This is how sexuality is skewed. redqueen Apr 2012 #26

this is what has bothered me for a decade, more. adults are playing in the kids sexual journey seabeyond Apr 2012 #27

And worse, its the adult world that caters first and foremost redqueen Apr 2012 #28

yup. nt seabeyond Apr 2012 #29

Thing is, when I hear about a sex crime, most of my outrage is reserved for the perpetrator. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #31

has anyone said differently? nt seabeyond Apr 2012 #32

In this thread, I see outrage directed at porn, jokes, "hijacked sexuality" and DU in general. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #34

It's not that difficult to follow. redqueen Apr 2012 #35

Hmmm. Interesting. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #37

Jesus Christ. redqueen Apr 2012 #40

Oh, okay. So the thread is outrage about DU and the people who post here, and not a sex crime. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #41

Yep exactly. redqueen Apr 2012 #51

Well, I sure hope they get what they deserve for their multitudinous and heinous crimes. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #52

duh redqueen Apr 2012 #53

lol seabeyond Apr 2012 #54

No point wasting big words redqueen Apr 2012 #55

you mean big words like, "heteronormative gender bias confrontational context consciousness raising" Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #56

you made the point about 4, 5 times. i think you are trying to make something out of it. seabeyond Apr 2012 #36

I'm just asking a question. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #38

it has been answered for you a number of times. one more time. seabeyond Apr 2012 #39

Funny, that you would write it in a thread that seems to entirely blow off the actual crime in favor Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #42

really slow now.... because the OP was NOT about the actual crime. seabeyond Apr 2012 #43

No, I get it. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #44

if you want to start a thread about the crime. do. and you will get a consistent answer seabeyond Apr 2012 #47

I'm challenging biases in a confrontational consciousness raising context Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #49

It isn't "imagined" MadrasT Apr 2012 #46

I see what you're talking about, although it is a different story. All I can add is my own opinion. Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #48

20 year old woman and 14 year old girl is also wrong Scout Apr 2012 #23

I'm wondering why everyone assumed it was an 14 yr old boy, when it says right Warren DeMontague Apr 2012 #30

Well, most people are straight MadrasT Apr 2012 #33
