I’ve read FReeper comments calling the teen girls whores as well.
Kids don’t have the capacity to morally decide to prostitution themselves. That’s why we call them ...minors.
As for adult women? Yes, Trollops.
To call a sexually exploited minor a whore is beyond disgusting and it is happening in the most conservative of circles.
I’ve missed those or I would have thrown up.
You’re right.
I understand the discomfort. But, post pubescent 14-17 year old females are “illegal” only because, as the term indicates, some lawmakers decided to make them illegal at that age. If these women are voluntarily accepting money for sex, then they are what they are.
“Kids don’t have the capacity to morally decide to prostitution themselves.”
I don’t think that’s true at all. Teens are able to make moral distinctions.
And a magic minute between 17 and 365 days and the next day that brings on moral clarity from ignorance doesn’t exist.
Nonetheless, it is all illegal and does not exonerate or temper crimes of this nature by Epstein or anyone.
Even if the teen were ready willing and able and 100% on board, it is still illegal and not relevant.
You’re right but there are also a couple of side facts to this whole mess
Some of the girls have consistently lauded Epstein and refused to go against him well into their 30s now
Some have switched sides from bashing Epstein to recanting
Some have per other participants been less than completely truthful
I have no doubt Epstein was guilty legally of underaged girls and he and Miss Maxwell recruited them and I am starting to believe if Epstein and the triple play with 12 year olds is true was a bona fide legally and clinically defined pedophile
I’d like to see where this leads and to whom but just like the soft coup we won’t
So called wise minds will determine exposure is too hard for western governments to bear politically ...sadly
But on girls....I’m ambivalent honestly on some of the 17-18 year olds and for sure the older ones
I grew up early 70s when things really went crazy with Dazed and Confused culture
I saw plenty high school girls who adored being available to older men
They reveled in it.....and taunted those boys their own age with it
Men with means in their 40s with a 17 year old which was legal then...I think it still is...16 is age of consent my home state
It’s like #metoo.....I promise you nearly all those women signing on now for pubilicity and victimhood had no truck back then with shagging someone for a plum role
I know Freepers hate nuance but please read my entire post before firing off about Epstein so I don’t have to be redundant
For the record I don’t call any woman WHORE....it’s cruel
Not even if they are paid directly for sex and I always treated temporary company same as I woulda my prom date whose parents went to church with mine
Women know when you’re kind and respectful in dim lights
to day at the age of 53 I look at anyone 25 or younger as kids
and I look at those under 18 as being at a sever disadvantage against some one like Epstein. most were individuals that could easily be controlled by episteme because of there social economic back ground. also word is that it was only the older one who could pretend to be over 18 that were seen. word is some of the victims were a great deal younger.
I actually think that modern society has artificially delayed the maturation of an adolescent into an adult.
Having said that, I agree completely: That is why we have laws to protect sexually immature persons.
Leftist now are fighting to sexualize young children, insisting that they are sexual beings.
How is that for irony? Conservatives have long said: Boys are boys, and girls are girls (and neither is a neuter).
It is precisely because they are sexual beings - BUT IMMATURE ONES - that they are vulnerable to exploitation.
