      One detail people haven't discussed: not only does Dershowitz suggest 15 is good age of consent, but he wants "staircasing" system so there is lighter offenses for adults raping 14 year olds, 13 year olds, on down.https://twitter.com/guy1749/status/1155865834784526338 …

      What jumps out to me most in this essay is conflating two very different issues. One is the prevalence of underage people having sex. But I don't think most people think sex between minors shld be illegal. There's also a legit issue where there are horror stories where you ...

      Can i inveigh for a pivot to the WHY? WHY is Dersh tweeting about this- now? I posit: that's the story.

      Did he actually tweet it or was he reacting to someone else bringing it up? Agree the whole thing is totally bizarre.

      Dershowitz is reacting to the New Yorker profile by defending a piece he wrote in late 1990s.

          I stand by the constitutional (not moral) argument I offered in my controversial oped: if a 16 year old has the constitutional right to have an abortion without state or parental interference, how could she not have the constitutional right to engage in consensual sex? 1/ https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/1155939457440219137 …

          Assume the NYer piece referenced the OpEd? But even so, eesh.

          Dershowitz has had it out for victims of rape for a long long long time.https://twitter.com/Avi_Bueno/status/1155989175532867592 …

          Avi Bueno added,

          Avi Bueno @Avi_Bueno
          In addition to attacking specific rape victims & defending rapists, Dershowitz has a history of arguing *all* rape victims should be named publicly, criticizing the protection of women who have been abused as "feminists" trying to "have it both ways". https://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/21/weekinreview/nation-should-media-name-accuser-when-crime-being-charged-rape.html … pic.twitter.com/NlmeCtCeY5

          From the late 90s ? That is normally way too old for Dershowitz to be interested.
