    I don’t get the downvotes, I agree with you. It’s not okay, and yes, it’s legally rape, but it doesn’t have to be traumatizing the victims in the same way as the examples you also mentioned. And that’s not an excuse, but a reasonable answer to the question you responded to.

        The critical thinking required is to admit that someone under the age of consent cannot consent. The attractive rock star is just as evil as the hideous Epstein client.

            Steven Tyler forced his rape victim to have an abortion after he impregnated her because he was also her legal guardian.

            But no, you’re right. It’s much more acceptable.
