… when the artist John Rafman messaged her on Facebook and asked her a series of non-sexual questions. They never messaged again and he was on the other side of the world, but what could have happened?
Let’s make this predatory behavior illegal.
… when she agreed to meet the comedian Chris D’Elia at a bar. He asked her to come to his hotel room instead, but she decided against it.
Is that a decision a 21 year old should be allowed to make for herself?
… when she had a relationship with a married man 12 years her senior. Later on, his wife joined in with the grooming by not being OK with the situation and getting mad at Alex!
Since Alex had not published a book, she was unable to give informed consent to sex.
To mature, your brain needs practice making decisions.
Under patriarchy, women have less agency, so their brains develop slower.
Research shows that the average 20 year old woman is mentally equivalent to a typical 12 year old cis male.
In the olden days, men had sex with women who were the same age as them.
Nowadays, aging celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio glamorize relationships with 20-something women.
Let's send a clear message by sending him to jail for statutory rape.
Many women are groomed after contacting successful artists they admire.
With vulnerable under-25s off the table, maybe artists like Leo will have to settle down with an age-appropriate woman.
Far too many women are tricked into voting against our interests: supporting right-wing candidates who will deny women vital healthcare, or radical extreme leftists who want to give everyone healthcare.
Younger women are particularly vulnerable to political grooming, which is why we need to raise the voting age for women to 25.
Alex Morse, a 31-year-old mayor, had gay sex with college students in his town.
Did he teach any of the students? Well, no. But are young boys aged 18 to 21 really capable of consenting to anal sex with such a powerful figure as the mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts?
Although our main focus is protecting women, we are expanding our campaign to demand that the age of consent for gay male sex be raised to 25. After all, every young gay is some mother's son.
Who has the time for the soap opera drama of a 27-year-old other than people in that same tumult? When I look at the endless emails detailing my dramas (My crush’s housemate’s girlfriend read his email! I hope my boyfriend proposes!) it exhausts me, and I am the person most inclined to indulge my dramas. There is nothing inherently interesting about it to a 36-year-old man."
