tangent

I know a mother who isn't allowed to be alone with her own kids because she's a "sex offender" -- because, like 10 years ago, she was dating a guy who was slightly below legal age, and she was slightly above legal age, and when she broke up with him, he got depressed and his parents retaliated by pressing charges against her.

It sounds pretty stupid when you say an older girl "raped" an underage guy. And it makes me object to the term "rape" based on age guidelines. Call it something else, but "rape" isn't what it is.

A 19yo can't "rape" a 17yo while having consentual sex. That's stupid.
