thank you!
jesus christ i’ve never seen “14 year old woman” in writing before this insane headline…

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

Right? Or at least teen or girl, not "14 year old woman." 🤮

And people argue that these rich pedophiles don't own the media.

[–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Tbf I doubt rich people own or control the esteemed WTFinvestigations.blog website

You'd be surprised how many small publications are owned, controlled, or at least heavily influenced by the wealthy.

If it were a boy, nobody on earth would call him a 14 year old man. This headline is bananas the more I think of it.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago

Only if he was palestinian

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Middle schooler.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It's a weird blog that gets posted waaaay too often to be authentic all the time

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 days ago

Fix the fucking title. A 14yo is not a woman.

Unless your name is Trump, ofc.

The proofs that Cheeto is a raging pedophile are circling so close to him, it's amazing that he hadn't been impeached yet. A tenth of a hundredth of the outrageous pies this guy has had a finger in would have been career-ending for any other POTUS. He really is made of teflon...

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He has been impeached, twice. And yet he's still President.

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

Because republican senators did not have the balls to convict him

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

repubs probably waiting until 2 years and a day into this term to impeach trump so that Vance could have a shot at 10 years in office.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 8 points 5 days ago

Nah, they’re waiting for him to die so they can start talking about how much they never really liked him

[–] GooseGang@beehaw.org 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

“woman” in the title, but “girl” in the description… ???

[–] riverSpirit@thelemmy.club 11 points 5 days ago

I didn’t write the title.
