This seeps into all sorts of things: when I was 16-24 I had several relationships with men ~10 years older I thought were fine at the time, then later viewed the creepy power differentials at play. And that leads to claiming underage girls have meaningful relationships w/ adults.
Symptomatic of a BBC news that has lost its moral compass and is rapidly losing its audience.
@BBCNews even though you’ve changed this, what do you have to say about this? Who wrote it? Which editor allowed it?
God yes, that phrase turns me incandescent with rage.
Totally agree. Same as ‘child porn’ - child abuse, rape, exploitation.
Even worse, it looks like the 'secret lover' quote is from the prosecutor in court.
And inexcusable. What on earth was that first headline? Very revealing. In a terrible way.
