LOL WUTWhen people are so desperate to call a celebrity a paedo that they inadvertently call for adult women to be treated like children.

Kinda my point.

In the rush to label men as predators people are robbing above-the-age-of-consent women of their agency.

They’ve been doing it to Leonardo Dicaprio for ages, making out that his dating of <25-year olds is some kind of indication that he’s a predator. (He might be, but not just because he dates young women).

Like it's weird he keeps going for them but let's be real anyone involved there knows the trade off they're getting is his fame. They know what they're getting into so it's weird to put more on that than it being an agreement that makes both parties happy. They're legal and haven't known him beforehand so I'm confident there's no funny business there.

Now if we're talking about someone that's been talking to someone since they were thirteen and now they're in a relationship right when the person is of age? Suspicious and gross. Not illegal but not exactly something anyone would see favourably. But there are a lot of obvious differences between the two and I do think acting like they're the same could potentially muddy the waters for actual predators.

Exactly. It's classical sexism. Women being objects without agency.
