On Epstein files:
1. Why is the press referring to girls as women?
2. Why is the press inventing a term, 'underage women', there is no such thing.
3. There is no such thing as 'sex with a child', it is called child rape or child sexual abuse.
Stop minimising the criminality.

John Oxley points out the clear yet often overlooked point that young men 18-24 are the second most liberal, left-leaning group in society (after young women) - being more so than young-ish thirtysomething women, and older women, as well as than men in older cohorts
