Hi.

I’m only here briefly. Y’all are in luck because my typing is handicapped due to me slicing my right index finger open deeply. I was sharpening my scythe to trim weeds at the edge of my yard and sliced the back of my finger on the blade.

What a day. Alex Dershowitz invoking the libertarian argument the age of legal sexual consent should be drastically lowered, followed by a twenty year-old article by him arguing the same, followed by Matt Gaetz using Dersh as a character reference for Chuck C. Johnson as not a holocaust denier (because Dersh claims he knows him)? Then a ton of libertarians piling in on Dersh’s “constitutional” argument to claim the same, that age of consent laws and statutory rape should not be a thing because some twelve year-old girls are “more mature” than thirty year-olds.

He also argues that men should never be busted for soliciting prostitutes but women should always be prosecuted for providing that (how does that work, exactly).

Man if that’s the sort of education Harvard passes out, I’m glad I didn’t go to college.

And the Libertarian Party wonders why it only has about 5% of its membership as women.

To be clear, their platform (I checked today) has nothing about repealing age-of-consent laws. There sure are an awful lot of Libertarians who think that children are just fine though. You’d think their party was a church.
