    How condescending. I assume you think a 17 year old is a child? And then the second they turn 18 they’re not?

    You can be against gaetz being creep and a groomer without thinking that 17 year olds shouldn’t be called women

      In the context of sex crimes, sexual interference, and similar, journalists and others for that matter should avoid using language that “ages up” victims.
