[Dr. Franklin]

You missed a bit of Newt’s history. He divorced her as she was extremely ill and he was already having an affair.

You proved my point. No one criticized her for grooming him, abusing her power over him, stealing his innocence, etc. From the modern point of view, it was extremely normal for him to eventually reject her because she was a cougar. Yet, no one did that. Almost universally, people accepted that he was an adult and knowingly entered into that relationship which became a marriage. Times have certainly changed.

Today’s comments were addressing the guilt/non-guilt of this teacher not an issue of Cougars.

And Newt’s friends did make meow-like comments of her being his teacher and this older than he was and that it was only expected he would be able to seek out a companion with whom he could expect to live his life. Those cougar comments WERE indeed made.

Back to today: The issue seemly being opined is Guilt or Innocent.... They are both guilty of adultry, no matter what the men and women think.

He, no matter his age, stole what wasn’t his...a man’s wife’s through his actions.

She, no matter her age, stole the virginity of the young man which was designed to be given to his wife.

It’s really basic.
