Current meta-analysis shows it may actually be, "2/3rds of all teen pregnancy are by adult men," so not limited to this age group.
mike805@jeffowski Whatever happened to JAILBAIT? An old idea which needs to come back...
@mike805 --
Because JAILBAIT is applied against the GIRL instead of calling the MAN a PEDOPHILE.
@jeffowski They need to resume prosecuting men who do this.
@mike805 @jeffowski Even the 20 year olds that father children with their 19yo wives, those dirty bastards!
@CryogenicIce9 @jeffowski Aw come on, most states have both an age gap and a marriage exception. But there are adults that absolutely rob the cradle and apparently that does not get you prosecuted any more?
@mike805 @jeffowski The point is that the statement/statistic is misleading and includes an awful lot of perfectly legal and agency-driven relationships; as all statistics regarding 'teen pregnancies' often are, there are better words/phrases than 'teen pregnancy' to refer to troublesome reproduction events.
