Jerry Seinfeld’s Teen Girlfriend Saga Resurfaces After Duke Walkout - Lemmy.World

Good. It’s what he deserves. I was 9 or 10 when that happened and I remember thinking it was so gross and being confused why people were just like…cool with it? I’m glad people are calling him out now - better late than never, I guess.
Boomers have a much higher tolerance of SA and grooming. Look at how it’s just accepted that Rock Stars could have underaged… pursuits.

I know this won’t be popular, but it’s for a few reasons:

  • It wasn’t and isn’t illegal.
  • Most people would look at her and see a hot woman and understand it.
  • This whole puritanical BS that if you are over 18 and find someone under 18 attractive, that makes you a pedophile, is a modern a theme. Back then people were free to admit that they found young women attractive without being labelled by so many to have a mental disorder.
  • I speak strongly about this because I think we are doing great damage to mental health to repeatedly claim it’s a mental disorder to have a completely normal and common biological attraction.

    But don’t get me wrong, I 100% support protecting minors from predators. I agree these laws should exist, I just wish people would stop pretending that there is something wrong with the attraction itself.

    Yep. Picking the bear.
    Imagine responding to an actual thought out, reasoned argument with some braindead thought terminating snark. Saves the effort of trying to actual engage in conversation or uncomfortable thought I guess but that’s about it.
    Still picking the bear. Your reply, and all the other salty misogynist replies are exactly why.
    Ok, have fun I guess? Congratulations? Not sure what response you expect.
    I didn’t ask

    I am engaging, which is why I am picking the bear.
