Everyone should be familiar with the expression "15 will get you 20." That expression contains a number of truths: 1. That it's seriously illegal. 2. That 15-year-olds can be very womanly. 3. That men are hard-wired by evolutionary biology to respond to evidence of female fertility. 4. Etc |
It's amazing how men routinely prioritize their boner over what's right and what's moral. No concern for the 15 year old their sexualizing. Because they have a stiffy. |
Okay, facts matter. But all facts matter. 1. Most fifteen year olds have some form of breasts (cleavage). 2. Adults (both male and female) can and do notice cleavage without being pedophiles. 3 It is socially awkward for everyone (male and female) to realize that your eyes have lingered too long on another person's cleavage. 4. Men are sometimes aroused by breasts when the breasts belong to a teenager, and that doesn't make the man who is aroused a pedophile. The man does not want to sleep with children, he wants to sleep with a woman WITH BREASTS. And the man is usually embarrassed to realize that he has been inconveniently aroused by a teenager. 5. Labeling stray glances at cleavage "pedophilia" is not helpful -- it doesn't help the community deal with actual pedophilia or protect our children from dangerous pedophiles. 6. This episode of Seinfeld depicts vulgar cleavage gazing. It does not depict pedophilia. As usual with Seinfeld, it pushes the envelope in order to find the comedy in social awkwardness and social mores. If that's not your cup of tea, ok. 7. Please learn to distinguish between what is vulgar and something that is truly pedophilia. An untoward glance at your 15 year old daughter's cleavage is not sexual predation. |
Just because someone has breasts, does not make it okay for you to look at them and sexualize them. Some 12 year olds have large breast- would it be okay to sexualizing them? Sexualizing an underage child is in fact pedophilia. And it's not acceptable. Hence the outrage. |
+1 But but [more self-righteous pearl clutching] |
+1 But men dont want to acknowledge this. Some men, I should say. The pedos. |
Yeah, even the worst people can't make a joke of that. That's how bad and evil it is. |
They must be very stupid to watch a series and miss its entire point. |
Or people are generally not repulsed by toxic masculinity and in fact respect it a lot of the time. Which is why I'm not buying the "we were condemning it!" excuse. |
Yeah, cause what passes for intelligent comedy today is crap. |
What's your point? |
Excessive ogling is one of the signs of the apocolypse. |
My grandmother was 35 or 36 years old when she started seeing the man who became her second husband. He was only seven years older than my uncle at the time, and eleven years older than my mother. He was only 18 or 19 years old when they started. Is there something wrong with that age difference? Is there a difference when the difference is between a much older woman and a younger man? FYI, they were married for 51 years, so it worked out. |
Mbd...both adults. Not relevant. |
So you think that Seinfeld's episode and interest in teen girls helped normalize it? |
