re: #367 A hollow voice says, Covfefe.

I’m not thrilled about 14 either (although I know at least three women who weren’t harmed…) but my point is about the expectations she grew up with.

Experience is SUPPOSED to warp us, for better or worse. I’m seriously sick of the apparent belief that we’re supposed to get through life untouched. In this case: really? A 17-year-old marred for life by sex with a 32-year old? Again, maybe it’s just my generation, but that’s hard for me to swallow.

She was 37 and he was 17. That isn’t nearly as messed up as the fact that they had first worked together when he was 7. Having sex with someone you watched grow up is creepy as fuck and could totally mess a kid up.
