At just over 16 years old, my daughter's prom date's father (a guy in his late 40s) started contacting her with provocative and suggestive texts along with requesting inappropriate pictures. When I contacted law enforcement, I was asked if I had talked to the guy about it. I explained to them that I did not want to go to jail, which is why I contacted THEM. I'm a man who is not only disgusted with other men behaving in that manner but appalled at the original disinterest from law enforcement on this issue. In my opinion if you wait for it to go beyond the 'stalking' phase, you're complicit. Thankfully, it only took one visit from a detective for it to stop. This was years ago but still enrages me.

It's because society (and this video) infantilize women. Liberal puritans and conservative puritans both treat women like children. These attitudes that infantilize women assume women cannot have accountability or take responsibility for their actions. If people have a problem with legal adults making adult decisions, they're mentally ill. Imagine how insufferable someone is like bad bhabie and then complaining about making millions consistently for doing basically nothing. Rather than use the money for good, like donate to animal rights organizations or anything, just complaining. It's pathetic. There will never be a time when some trash talk from a shock jock is comparable to politicians and ruling class politicians preying on children. This video is just gossip and a missed chance on talking about real dangers and stuff about Jeffery Epstein. In the 90s no one cared about Blank Check. No one cared about Big. No one cared about Milk Money. Anthropological documentaries had naked people in the jungle on daytime TV and no one cared. This video is about salacious sound bytes in the media that specifically makes money from statements like that and isn't constructive because all its doing is pushing forth that young adults are children. It brings up disgusting statements of others to imply that the answer is to infantilize young adults.

[@davidmontroy3408]

My daughter had a friend, that was about 2 years younger than her. Regardless of that minor age difference, she literally still looked like a 12 year old at 18. Speaking of 18, it was at that threshold that she decided the grocery cashier or fast food worker world was not for her. Neither was the idea of college. So at 18, she decided to start working as an "exotic dancer" at a couple different strip clubs. Initially she was fine with the "job" because it paid stacks of cash. Since I raised my daughter to understand how inappropriate that life choice was, instead of just dropping her as a friend, she asked me to talk with her, since her dad obviously wasn't going to. I sat down with her, and explained that, while what she does with her life is a result of choices she makes, there was a nuance she clearly overlooked. Looking 12, but dancing nude for tips, was generating revenue, BECAUSE she looked 12! She was already seeing for herself, with the other dancers, that girls in that profession age like milk left out in the sun. Even the girls that looked 18, but were in their early 20s, were getting fewer and fewer tips by the day. Fortunately she got out of that industry, when she started to see that things I warned her about were happening in real time. Girls were being propositioned for "other activities" for extra tips, drugs started being introduced, to her by other girls already doing them. All things I warned her would develop. Not claiming that paternal influence is a magic bullet, but lack of it certainly leads to the most repulsive behaviors and situations.

In the 1970s, feminist artist Judy Chicago was given a stack of cash to construct a work devoted to women's identity. Judy built a construct of three tables in the shape of a triangle (vagina symbol), with a bunch of place settings made of sculptures of various lady parts (vulva, uterus, etc.), each with the name of a prominent woman in the arts, history, culture, politics, etc. In the 70s, the feminist cliché was "respect my mind, not just my body."

Larry Flint, despite all of his faults, was strongly against child sex exploitation, and a champion of free speech. He was also strongly pro police. Provocative? Yes. I don't agree with much of what was in those magazines. However, they really did present interviews with diverse people from Lenny Bruce, to Muhammad Ali, John Wayne, and Olivia Hollander, and others.

Blue Lagoon, looking back now, was, even though it was a “coming of age” movie, was inappropriate.

[@DawidKov]

I'd like to clarify that "Lolita" was not some form of fetish book to romanticize that sort of relationship. It was deliberately unsettling. It was specifically written to depict the kind of messed up individual that would do these things. It was not endorsement, but an indictment. The same way "Crime and Punishment" wasn't an endorsement of killing old ladies with an axe, but a psychological depiction of the criminal mind. Also, 12:40 - "women with a low social responsibility", as one man put it many years ago.

[@grizzlygrizzle]

I think that a small part of the push to interpret "Lolita" as an endorsement came from critics who didn't like Nabokov. Nabokov strikes me and others as somewhat disdainful toward the reader. I had to read it for an English Literature course (I was an English major), and something in his tone offended me. But you're right. It was unsettling, but any such novel gets stuck in the problem that to write about such an unsettling topic with enough subtlety not to be caricaturish will necessarily serve to normalize that topic for readers with similar inclinations. And when the book came out, many did interpret it as erotic. For me, it seems that some taboos serve useful social functions, as long as they don't become too extreme and rigid. This taboo seems clearly to have become too loose and "flexible."

I was a victim, and am now a survivor, of childhood sexual abuse. I was 9. My college professor assigned Lolita, and he took the opportunity to extoll "pederasty" in a historical context, which was extremely unsettling. To him, Humbert was more hero than villain. When I spoke up about being uncomfortable, his response was "But what did you think of the book?" The book made me want to vomit, tbh. No matter you spin things, mankind should do better at honoring and protecting each other, especially the vulnerable. But I am not the queen of the world. I'm not a god. I make no rules. I just sit back and cry as I watch the horror of what we do to each other unfold.

[@rawcuriosity8731]

Kubrick did Nabokov a disservice. The book is actually about showing us how “normal” and eloquent these perverts can seem from the outside. And at some moment while reading the book you realise that Humbert almost fooled you. Nabokov had gone through molestation himself and wanted to express his pain.

That doesn't change that we all have a biological urge during our teens to NOT be treated like kids and to act more adult.

She even tried dming my boyfriend at one point and he was 18. He immediately sent me what was said and after telling her not to play these games with me I stopped talking to her. Hell I myself was exposed to sexual content at a VERY young age and due to being in therapeutic private schools where the classrooms were more by skill level than grade was with the older kids.

[@myco_enthusiast]

As a pre pubescent girl, I was abused. Which then led to my complete dysfunction and inability to understand myself as having value aside from inappropriate attention and desire from men and boys. This led to a desire to engage in entirely inappropriate relationships when I was a teenager, and one of my teachers took full advantage of that. It's sickening that introducing s*xual concepts to a child early on can completely alter their ability to move in the world. I only really was able to unwind all that trauma when I was in my early 20's.

[@grizzlygrizzle]

I have a daughter, and I had to try to help her navigate the inappropriate attention from others because she was attractive, and even without any abuse, it was difficult. Later I worked in mental health, and saw what you experienced as a pattern among abused girls as they got older. Honestly, I still don't know how to address it in a way that might stop it, other than to reinforce the taboo against taking advantage of vulnerable kids.

I did the alternative route. I read porn as a pre pubescent boy. Which led me to wishing I could run into teachers or other adults to have sex with. Which never happened because they are pretty rare despite all stories about them. The only thing I learned was that children can be exposed to sexual concepts and do just fine, it is all about what attitude you take to it. And my life pretty much continued in that route that no woman took interest in me and I have lived single and alone for my entire life. Sometimes I wonder how many would be happy with reverse roles in society. Like if most women were ignored and sexless, and if most men were pushed into sex all the time.

[@hondomurray7927]

I am sorry to hear that happened to you. My mother told me that she had been abused by a member of her family and I've also heard similar stories from several female friends over the years and many of them also had trouble in relationships because they either used s_x to get attention in an effort to find love or thought it was normal to be in an abusive relationship(s). My own sister was also abused and she desired attention so much that she would lie to create drama. Sometimes it has the opposite affect and causes women to have serious hangups about being intimate with men and can cause problems in marriages. Back in 2002 the odds of children being molested was 1 in 4... Sadly, you are far from being alone. As hard as it is to talk about, keeping it a secret (because of embarrassment or undeserved self-shame) only makes it worse. Another statistic says that children who have been abused are more likely to abuse their own children, thus continuing the cycle. Sweeping it under the rug is like trying to keep a beach ball under water... It will eventually pop up to the surface. Seeking counceling / therapy is the crucial. It can help to work through the issues and prevent the abused person from becoming abusive and of course, lead to having healthy relationships. I commend you for sharing what happened to you with others, I know it's not easy and takes a lot of courage but by facing it, you have chosen to overcome it, rather than allowing it to overcome you... It makes you stronger and you are no longer a victim. You should be proud of yourself. :)

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

@@braydeno4189 Is it though? I ask this in all seriousness. I inferred from your statement "all paedophiles are inherently rapists and would immediately rape children if they knew they would not get caught". I completely, honestly think that people who make statements like this are a _huge_ part of the reason why child sexual assault occurs. By profiling all people sexually attracted to children as monsters, instead of people with an abnormal and potentially dangerous sexual attraction, or even a mental illness (the jury is still out on this one) then it forces paedophiles to hide. It forces them to not seek help for fear of being exposed and potentially tortured or killed. It forces them to not confront their issue but either suffer the trauma of keeping it secret, or just give in to it. It's also _very likely_ one of the biggest reasons why so many children are killed after being sexually assaulted; this has actually been stated by child rapists as a major factor for not simply letting their victim go. So no, I think you're wrong. I think one of the biggest things "holding them back" from committing a horrendous crime against a child is because they understand the damage it can do to a child and choose not to do it and seek other outlets like pornography. I am not condoning this behaviour, but society's current approach is clearly not working.

But as someone who likes watching the Olympics, especially the gymnastics and track and field sports, at some point it hit me: what are we doing?? What am I watching??

It's more complicated than that, another reason could be lack of a masculine role model or father figure at all, or that younger men aren't as masculine as they used to be is another major reason. I'm sorry but it's mostly the fault of feminists and modern women that families have become so broken and more and more men don't even want to marry and have families anymore and there's so many single moms. So many women think they get it but they really don't, you'd think if women could raise boys better sons raised by single moms wouldn't be 15x more likely to commit r*pe because apparently men are actually better at teaching boys to respect women and also to get respect back.

You're talking about over 80 years ago now, and it was a different world. In most ways your grandmother and great aunt had more in common with people living in the 12th Century than they do with people living in the 21st. For all of human history puberty was the dividing line between child and adult, and post-pubescent meant sexually mature and marriageable, which is exactly where I'm sure your grandmother and great aunt fell. Setting an arbitrary age for adulthood divorced from puberty was never going to work very well in a number of aspects, but my post goes into a bunch of ideas about why young people have been getting less mature at an accelerating rate throughout the latter half of the 20th Century and continuing into the 21st, while at the same time generally hitting puberty younger than our ancestors, and also being bombarded with sexuality like none before.

What I'm disappointed with Sydney about is how she made this one-sided! I recall Justin Bieber receiving inappropriate comments from adult women on award & talk shows. Male R&B singers like Usher, Lloyd & Mario were publicly referred to as being "sexy" by grown women, even though they were under legal age. I myself had experienced this in my mid to late teens and recall having women 15 yrs+ my senior expressing such sentiment, either subtlety or down right raunchy. Hell, Jennifer Lopez had a movie about being attracted to a 19 yr old in "The Boy Next Door." And let's not forget the long-running scenario of the older woman wanting the pool/cabana boy. But even with this evidence, the video seems focused on the male aspect and not both genders who share fault.

So when I was a child I was unfortunately prayed upon by a family member, violated and touched and I didn’t understand what was wrong because I was a child, not preteen or teen, an actual child. I watched a puppet show at school that talked about this stuff and had a huge revelation, so I came up with a plan to expose the man who was doing these awful things to me. Long story short he rots in jail where he belongs to this day and while I was traumatized by the experience for a long time I eventually welI wouldn’t say got over it but I used it to better others like me. As I grew up into 13-16 I got more and more old gross men offering me drinks, offering me rides, offering me money, and offering me to come see some neat thing in their house alone and not just me but my best friend got the same treatment. I knew it was disgusting then and never let myself be touched like that ever again, however I did have a friend in middle school who was walking with me down the street and bragging about sleeping with the 35+ year old man that lived a couple blocks away from her. It went straight to my stomach and I turned cold. She was in middle school and she thought it was such an amazing thing, she even recognized he was a perverted pedo freak and still she felt proud. What you say is true, as a child you want to grow up so damn fast that when someone treats you like an adult even if it’s in a sexual way, you take it and love the attention, you are told you are mature for your age etc etc. It’s scary to think she let herself be taken advantage of like that and scarier that so many girls do and don’t realize until it’s too late. My childhood was robbed from me, I was forced to become actually mature for my age, forced to know what no seven year old should know. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone, so I thank you for this video even if some are arguing against it. In my mind it is okay to dabble in fantasy, lord knows half the shows we watch today have some sort of depravity in them, but that’s where it ends at least that’s where it should end. I wish more young girls would learn because there is no teaching these men to be better, no fixing their issues, because no one has tried to analyze why they are the way they are and help them, because no one wants to give them the pity or sympathy they think therapy would bring. I like to tell the story of Red Riding Hood to young girls because the original intent the original moral was listen to mother, don’t talk to strangers, and above all don’t trust sly wolves or they will eat you.

I think one of the reasons Danielle Bregoli was sexualized so quickly, is because of her utterly repulsive attitude that she displayed on her most recent Dr. Phil interview. When people kind of hate you, and are disgusted by you, it makes it REALLY hard for them to sympathize and empathize with you. They kind of root for you to be humbled, and are less concerned when you suffer hardship and exploitation. They WANT you to fall and fail.

Still, despite knowing so very little, I can safely assume that the parents of this child (now a legal adult) have grossly failed in what they needed to do. It's not like having an Onlyfans and making a lot of money with it is 100% wrong. I'm certainly pro-choice on this matter as it barely bothers anyone, I just wonder about her mental health and wellbeing. And if in 5-10 years, it turns out she regrets making this decision, all her explicit pictures and videos are still out there and then its already way too late to reconsider. She will have to live with that for the rest of her life, which I blame on her parents for sure. 18 might be an age that we expect some form of adult decisionmaking and responsibility, but there is still some amount of 'learning leeway' that you can grant someone of that age and even slightly older.

I like that you took a more analytical and open minded approach to this and recognize that it is a morally ambiguous area. If we look at the problem from a biological standpoint we recognize that girls are on average fully sexually mature by the age of 16-18. This from an evolutionary standpoint would be the optimal time to begin having children and thus we can say that men could find them sexually attractive at this age. The question then becomes SHOULD they find them attractive? With modern medicine extending our lives and a deeper understanding of mental maturity we arrived at the 18 year threshold giving us a median point between the start of puberty and when we might consider someone to be fully mentally mature in their mid 20s. If we take a look at a legal standpoint, the 18 year threshold is actually relatively new considering that for most of human history being married and having children in your mid teens was pretty common. Infant mortality was much higher and thus an earlier start was needed to have a sufficient number of children to ensure at least one made it to adulthood. With this in mind the moral ambiguity around the 18 year threshold is something of a modern luxury. There is also the point that people are all different and people's bodies may mature at different rates. Some 16 year olds may resemble a 20-something due to faster development or earlier puberty onset. Similarly some women may resemble a teenager well into their 20s. If you have no base of reference, is it automatically morally wrong to feel sexual attraction to a younger girl if all the physical signs of sexual maturity are there? Obviously there is a problem with some of these people accelerating sexuality when it comes to pre-pubecent and mid-pubecent girls whose age is known and understood and this should be called out. But we can also ask, is it inherently wrong to recognize the inevitability of sexual maturity, especially when the men are willing to wait for that maturity in both a biological and legal sense? This is certainly a much larger grey area and should be debated more.

I'd almost say men think about purity and low body count now more than ever (again, the older they get- the dozens more rides they've taken and the further away from sexually pure they are). What's your age/body count? When did you start racking up #'s? How many before 18 and how many since?... I'm a relationship guy, and can count all on one hand at 35 years old. 1 before 18.

I was thinking about this awhile ago. When I was still in high school. There were so many girls dating older guys. Guys who weren't in school anymore. Remember this one girl won't come to school. Every time her boyfriend had a day off. As she will spend it with him. Teachers and parents knew about these things. Yet no one ever had a problem with it. It was very normal

[@jreese7436]

Had something similar where I grew up. We were maybe a 45 minute drive from a major college and the parents had no trouble with their daughters dating guys there. Reason was better a guy with a college education and a future than a guy their own age from our podunk little town.

Great video, but I do wish this sort of thing didn't need to be pointed out. The fact the internet has given everyone the ability to create their own like minded groups has either increased weird behaviour or just increased the ability to feel ok about weird behaviour. The world is in a strange time. All the best

[@canolathra6865]

While I certainly understand why people would have a problem with this, I very much view it as little more than "the existence of a line creates a psychological urge to go right up to said line" in what is essentially a variation of the Streisand Effect. Without the line, the numbers would just be numbers with no special meaning. Is the line necessary? Absolutely, without a doubt. The fascination and subsequent fetishization of the line is an unfortunate byproduct of its necessity, and there isn't much that can be done about it.

[@Dadupey]

An intellectual approach

[@MalchikGuy]

it's basically the same as women's obsession with new shoes

[@Stiksta]

The line should go away. People should just use common sense. Our bodies don't even grow up or develop the same. What is "18 years old" for one person might have been what someone else looked like at 14. While someone else could look 20 and be 15. Especially with the zoomers who seem to have been fucked up on the genetic level by the pollution in our water/air plus whatever combination of garbage is in our food. Looking way younger than anyone I grew up with at similar ages. Just like how the older generations looked older than they should have because literally everyone smoked and drank like crazy while roasting in the sun endlessly. But at the end of the day if it looks sus, its probably sus no matter what the law says.

[@recramorcenlemniscate7945]

The line is a cultural designation surrounding the conclusion of puberty, so yes, it has to be there. But where our current laws are flawed is that while physical puberty completes around 16 with some minor variations happening between 16-18, the mental changes don't conclude until 25 & along that process different aptitudes develop at different rates. Adulthood is fine at beginning at 16, so long as strict probationary adult laws up to 16-25 to protect them from mistakes they're likely to make.

[@scotthoover1568]

I kept thinking the same thing as I watched this video. Yes, the fetishization of those slightly below, at, or slightly above the line is kind of gross, but the only alternative is to have some other standard which isn't a hard age line. And some other standard is going to be abused far more heavily than a simple age line will be imo.

[@KellyStarks]

I kept remembering a quote from a psychiatrist about the term pedophilia, and that it’s being misused. The medical meaning is being attracted to below age of puberty (say single digit) old. Being attracted to teen girls is psychologically normal, since for most of the history of our species life expectancy was about 19. Teenagers routinely married and had families before they reach current legal age. Hence why Romeo and Juliette were 13 and 14 year olds. Similarly, army like Roman legions conscripted at age 13, Sargent’s and non coms would be in their late teens, and generals late teens to lower 20’s (Cleopatra and Marc Anthony were a mid 20’s cougar and young frat boy.) Further, with health being the huge point of selection of a female mate, young was critical. Guys needed to be established providers. I.e. the issue could be a reflection of our vastly greater average life expectancy and current reality, and instincts, being in conflict. Molesting “pudding people” gets you put firmly in a evolutionary “to be culled” list. Teenagers get classed as primary dating pool, for a pool of guys … who likely will never make 30, and know being a upper 20’s female.. makes you likely to old to have children with. So there’s likely always going to be a point of conflict folks have to work out. Having given the devil enough advocacy. The second point as to why the insane degree of attention, count downs, etc now! Media powers, are very tolerant. From Roman Polanski forced to admit he was druging and raping 13 year old girls, but Hollywood to this day (including Natalie Portman) supporting the idea that the US should suspend charges so he can get hailed a the Cains fill festival for his greatness. After decades of harassing the victim, she finally agreed to drop charges so she could get past this. Hollywood was ecstatic anticipating his return from exile , until multiple other women came out of the shadows to add their charges of the same crimes against him. In general young men and women who bring up being raped in the busness far below legal age, were chastised (even by major hosts of shows) for threatening the industry. The tact respect actual pedo movement gets in some corners now seems to be a shocking example of what is promoted as acceptable, or at least to be politely debated. Since teens being sexual is now considered the norm, and cultural icons in media, news, etc seem to consider even major (non statutory ) rape of minors as quite tolerable, if not respectable …. And the push of young girls to dress sexy … the countdown attitude seems inevitable.

[@horrortackleharry]

Well yes you're quite right- without what we today define as underage relationships the human race would have died out millennia ago. Modern historical dramas sometimes tread a fine line in depicting this- Game of Thrones (fantasy, but historically recognisable) was quite open about child marriage, others like Romeo & Juliet or Oliver we tend to just cast with adult actors and look the other way.

[@boobah5643]

Major, _major, *MAJOR* point of fact: Those dinky ancient life expectancies count in infant death rates. If you made it to adulthood, you were good for the proverbial three score and ten. Mind, this doesn't change the fact that 'adulthood' keeps being defined later and later, but it isn't because adults drop dead at thirty. It's that people love their kids, we're wealthier, and that means we can (and, more importantly, do) shelter our kids from the world longer than the ancients could. Hell, the 'teenager,' that is, someone who can reproduce, but isn't an adult, is an invention of the twentieth century. These days college students are apt to be treated as wards of their school, because you're not _really_ an adult until you're out in the 'real world.'

[@KellyStarks]

@@boobah5643 3score and ten was still very rare. Aside from infant mortality (granted even fairly recent history half of kids never made it to 6), you had a lot of other diseases, famine, and injury related deaths, the fraction of folks that ever made it to 70 (3 score and ten) was very small.

[@iwannabewherethenakersaren6884]

But then we run into another problem, all the hormones and chemicals in our food and water is causing girls to hit puberty earlier (8-10) and precocious puberty is on the rise. I know girls who were fully developed at 9-10 years old, putting them in the hebephile category and creeps use this as a way to justify their perversions.

As somebody who looked like a teen still well into my 20s, yes this portion of the population is large. I was mostly approached by strangers (almost always considerably older men) when I looked underage. Although they got more physically daring when I started looking more adult.

[@carnied.4016]

I mean women are guilty of this too. When I was in high school older women would make comments to me and when they would find out I was underage at the time they said and I quote " call me in 3 years " I'd really love to see a video that explores the whole truth not just one side of it. Don't get me wrong, this was a good video but upon finishing it I still feel like we just ain't allowed to talk about how women can be just as creepy in this way. Which is disappointing because it's something I personally have experienced in my life and it's something nobody wants to talk about. Sidney I'd love to see a video on this as well.

[@IceQueen975]

Historically, MEN also creep on underaged boys if they are attractive. Ironically, young, pretty boys are preyed on more then girls yet no one talks about this historical trend.

My husband had a similar experience with his teacher when he was 15. That was back in the early 90’s. She groomed him. There truly is a double standard. Even now that’s he’s in his 40’s he still gets harassed by female co-workers and also out in public.

Sydney literally mentioned this in the video, my guy. It's much more common for men to be creepy to young girls than the other way around, but there ARE creepy women too and some boys do experience it. She didn't not address it at all, she very much acknowledged that it's a thing, too.

[@Simpleton_X]

There is no moral framework anymore. New religions. And people might point to the Catholic Church sex scandals but the unspoken rule is that those were almost entirely gay men abusing boys. It has no bearing on the natural dynamic of the beauty and desirability of youth, innocence, and fertility that has always existed. But if we want to better contain people's worst behavior we need to get back to a moral foundation and a common religion that is the glue of a healthy society.

According to criminal statistics, girls with "dangerous" fathers are less likely to be targeted by predators cuz that's one of the first things they check for.
