Let's keep people as children for as long as possible. They can't be trusted to make their own decisions. https://t.co/W0G4ZFa6uf

Good god, Vanessa’s take is deeply, deeply stupid.
People think I am exagerrating when I say liberal feminists want to remove all agency from women. But no, they really do.
the power argument is also simplistic. Younger, more attractive people have access to more partners than older people. Youth and attractiveness are a form of power.
Power has multiple dimensions, it isn't all "older is more powerful."

Exactly.
I cannot believe the paternalistic idiocy of claiming grown ass adults are children. I would have been sick if anyone claimed this about me when I was twenty.

Same. It’s just 100% bonkers.
