    “Fan-fiction” as in this exact exchange probably didn’t happen.

    Because I don’t believe Donald Trump would commit to memory anyone else’s exact words; that would imply he was ever really listening to other people instead calculating the next time he could diarrhea from his mouth in foul mockery of conversation.

    I can almost almost see what you mean but I don’t see how litigating specific wordings for sexually-explorative children helps anything. How does pushing for “teen” help in any regard beyond “feeling better”? As I understand it, all you’re saying is “don’t call them children because it sounds weird when I think about ‘children’ and ‘having sex’,” which…yeah, good! That’s a normal reaction and it’d be weirder if you didn’t.

    Leave the kids to explore their own sexuality, safely and with their age-mates, without trying to convert them into “teens”: some nebulous border-age where it’s comfortable and “normal” for adults to think about them as sexual beings and, more often than not, sexualize them.

    I’d guess it’s “always an older guy with a younger girl” because men historically had the social leeway to go around soliciting children. It ain’t often about “maturity” (because they’re assaulting children); it has to be about power. And women didn’t have the same kinds of blatant/open power men do.
