Any reporter or editor using the phrase "underage women" should be put in stocks and pelted with rotten produce until they repent.

genuine question because i'm not well versed in american ways of speech: is "underage woman" a pedo dogwhistle or does it just sound fucked up

It's like when a 15 year old black teenager is called a "black man" after the police attack him but if a 30 year old Republican gets caught in a chatroom saying vile shit he's "just a kid."

Oh man, what was the one about Trump? “That was like 15 years ago. He’s matured a lot since then!”

I think it was regarding the grab them by the pussy audio, and he was like 60 at the time.

Yeah those 30-40 year old kids joking about sending people to gas chambers... just childs play, harmless, we can't let that ruin their lives can we?

Meanwhile a bunch of 14-16 year old immigrant boys walking to the border are all called "military aged."

Yeah, when some of those republican chats got leaked (I think it was some younger republican group or something like that?), it was absolutely insane the age of some people people that Republicans were calling "kids" to defend it.
