Isn’t like 3/4 of all “news” put out by right wing outlets?

    I hate vague nebulous accusations like this. If there are news orgs you’re disgusted with name and shame them

    AP is one for sure. Sorry about the next few links being MSN aggregated. I can't find the originals.

    We don't know if the next 2 are women

    Uhm, I agree with the sentiment but allow me to be a bit anal for a second. (Trust me, this is strictly about language, not morals.)

    Don't people in English speaking countries say "young woman" to, say, girls in their teens? I.e. 13 and up, or like, shortly after puberty hits?

    If you're a "young woman", yet still underage, are you not then, by reduction, an underage woman?

    What am I missing? 😅

    What am I missing?

    Context.

    In a formal social context — i.e. 13 year old performs at a piano recital — we'd say "young woman/lady" to elevate and show respect for their effort.

    In a familiar social context, I might call that same kid "twerp" because she stole my clicky pen to stim with.

    In a criminal context, we're talking about agency.

    Young women (18+) can be independent, have a job, make decisions about their lives. They have enough agency to say yes to having sex with an older man.

    Children (<18) can't give informed consent like that, which makes sex with an older man automatically sexual abuse.

    The press is being accused of implying that the victims (children who did not have the agency to give consent) belong to a category that can consent to sex with old men (young women) in a context (criminal) where agency matters.

    Children (<18) can't give informed consent like that

    Do note that this is according to American law (and some other countries). It is younger in many other countries. Of course not so young as the little kids who were victims of this travesty.

    But yeah, I get your reasoning. 👍 Wording and phrasing definitely matters in the light of context!

    The news also stopped talking about Ukraine/Russia, Palestine/Isreal, Venezuela, Cambodia, Africa, Iran et al and started talking about the fucking Olympics. I know people are going to call me a downer and a "traitor to the spirit of Olympics" but fuck all that. I would rather we skip the Olympics for one fucking year, release all the epstein files, get Trump locked up in some Siberian prison along with his goons and move on with our lives. This is BS
