@Eimi_LTY @DrJessTaylor So what's the end game here? Try to outlaw plaid skirts? Ban pencils? Pig tails as a hairstyle will be punished?

Or maybe you dream of a super successful shaming that will cause every man in the USA to shun any image like that 😀😀😀

@Eimi_LTY @DrJessTaylor There is a vendor who sells kinky outfits through Amazon and Ebay. They pay to advertise there.

and somehow we are supposed to believe that the plaid skirts, notebooks, pencils and pig tails in these photos are extremely harmful to young women???

Amy never answered this question. I wonder why. https://t.co/bedENNQxsM

Me: 16 year olds are adults

Moron: They can't be adults. They're still in high school.

Me: So when 9 year old Sheldon Cooper went to college he was an adult? When John dropped out of school at 16 he reached adulthood the same day?

Moron: Shut up.

Using bullshit terminology like "minor-attracted person" negates any positive outcome of any discussion. We can never agree on the right thing to do if we keep using words that don't mean anything.

4)

in fact the term is so vague as to be totally useless in normal conversation.

As citizens of a democracy *we* are responsible for making laws. *We* have a duty to seriously debate the issues and come to logical conclusions about what is the best policy.

3)

Under the age of consent in California can mean 17 years old. In Germany it means 13 years old. These two age groups have nothing in common. These are two wildly different sets of people. So the term minor-attracted person (MAP) has no precise meaning. (stick with me here...)

2)

Please consider this statement which is part of an academic paper on the subject:

"Minor-attracted person is a self-referential term, used to describe an individual who is sexually attracted to individuals under the age of consent, which varies by legal system."

@Fact It's depressing AF to be in an adult body with adult capabilities and desires, but still to be constantly treated like a child by your parents, teachers, etc.

...while in France where such relationships are perfectly legal they seem to have no problem at all?

7)

Yet Californians are sure there is a HUGE problem.

None of this makes any sense. How can there be an epidemic of grooming type sex abuse in the very place where everyone is determined to stamp it out AND the laws harshly punish any offenders,...

6)

California, on the other hand has very strict age of consent laws. There are severe punishments for anyone having sex with anyone under 18 years of age. Just looking at the laws it would seem California has the grooming problem totally sorted.

5)

...there's no mass movement to outlaw google search results like the ones in this pic...

4)

So France should be groomers paradise, and there should be a massive epidemic of sexual abuse there, right? No laws to stop them. The perverts must be running wild, right?

Somehow the people who live there haven't noticed any such thing. They don't write about it...

3)

The French are not scared of that, they're not talking about it, if you bring it up with them you'll find they are really not worried.

The age of consent in France is 15. So if a 30 or 40 year old wanted to groom a young adult it would be perfectly legal.

2)

France and California have a lot in common. Advanced service economies, agriculture, wine, tourism, seaports.

California, however, has *a lot* of people totally freaked out about what they call "the prevalence of grooming of young girls"

@yamatokira54 In this case mega retailers ebay and amazon both have a product to serve this niche (kinda kinky) market.

I don't know the details of how Google labels its search results. Does the fact that these two pics are labeled "product" mean that someone paid to have these pics come up first in the results?
