Interesting that they always seem to do this when it's about trump's child rape victims

They're afraid of being sued by him

You must not be paying much attention to this - it's unfortunately FAR from the first time the media has done this in relation to the Epstein files. I figure they're trying to avoid Trump's wrath - at least I hope that's the reason.

i’ve seen “underage women” but and references to young women as women…
but 14 can’t even be stretched to “young woman” (it’s an idiom, don’t hit me)…
that’s just plainly a child.
i have been paying attention but now i understand your username.
it’s incredibly obvious that this is FAR from the first time…. this is just the biggest exaggeration ive seen so far… especially it being in one short sentence like that.

I'm not condoning in any sense Donald j Trump and his love of fucking children. But 14 year old girls are often called young women, it's not even a stretch. Just to go off your comment. That doesn't change the fact that the current president of the United States of America, Donald j Trump, best friends with Jeffrey r Epstein, raped and killed children.

You're not wrong. Young adult literature is typically written for ages 12-18
