Romeo and Juliet both died because of their young, foolish, impulsive decisions. i dunno why people think that story is an example of a perfect romance.

I genuinely do not know why he would ever dredge this story up. It is not a happy ending.

Republicans suck, but this really seems like a non issue.

Like, happened in my HS with seniors dating freshmen (well, dating, not the impregnation). Not sure it's all that abnormal!

Juliet was almost 14 with Romeo being "around" 16 to 21, as don't think Shakespeare actually ever gives his age, while Juliet is said to be shy of her fourteenth birthday.

These laws were put in place as knowledge grew and people began to understand the traumatic and lifelong psychology effects these type of sexual interactions can have on minors. Its not only psychological but physiological too.

We are no longer savages and barbarians. We should not have elected officials who are that.

I can recognize that its gross no matter which 18 year old is taking advantage of someone who has barely began puberty.

I think it's weird to assume this is quite cut and dry like that. Particularly given variance in development. I think this is kind of infantilizing, particularly in way that is a often misogynistic. If anything, if you want to think about the average, women's developmental trajectories are shifted such that they are typically more mature in their early teen years then their corresponding male cohorts.

I just think this has far more to do with the fact that the dude is a republican and anything remotely bordering hinky sexually, particularly with age gaps, is used as a weapon now-a-days.

Stop fucking supporting groomers.

I don't. Grooming is gross. But it's an actual behavior. Do you know what grooming is?

Its true that not every instance of high schoolers dating where one is 18 is grooming, ffs people, but at the same time the law gotta draw the line somewhere to protect the most people it can. Was it grooming with this guy? Definitely a possibility considering the girl later killed herself and grooming can often lead to mental health issues.

It was a bitter divorce, I was 22 and she was 17-18.

Totally normal and no way contributed to her mental state, Im sure.

FWIW COVxy defends this every single time it comes up. Hes clearly in full support of these things so good luck trying to reason with him.
