There's a difference between "desiring to **** an 18 year-old" and serially dating 14-18 year-olds.
Proactiveness?

I really cannot pretend to understand the faux outrage over a 30 year old desiring to **** an 18 year old.
Let's face it, the weirdest notion here is that he sought family permission.

That's one.
There's a lot of physical and psychological maturation between 14 and 18.
Egh, sure, I guess.
But technically, most females have gone through puberty by the age of 14. And psychologically? That's so very relative that I'm hesitant to even touch it.
AoC is 16 in Canada (and Alabama/most of the South). It's lower elsewhere around the world. Teen is one of the most searched porn queries year after year. Christians glorify virginity. Mick Jagger is screwing some fawn 50 years his junior. There's some tacit standard of cultural embraciveness at play here.
Putting aside for a moment my dispute with the characterization of Moore as having 'serially dated' 14-18 year olds, I do personally find any predilection towards Lolita-types to be odd, bordering on disturbing. But I do think there's plenty of room to squabble over what truly crosses that threshold, and age, alone, is a horrible gauge to employ as a part of that argument.
I don't disagree with you. But I also don't have to pretend to understand the moral outrage of folks who have internalized these arbitrary designations as firm moral boundaries.
The instance I outlined (with two years of breathing room, in Alabama) shouldn't naturally go astray of any arbitrarily defined moral boundaries.
There's only one reported instance of Moore supposedly committing an actual (sexual) crime, which he has steadfastly denied.
Beyond that allegation I'm just not seeing a true case for moral outrage. Am seeing a lot of moral hypocrisy though.
For me, if he indeed had relationships with consenting teens above the age of consent, it's about the least outrageous aspect of an otherwise vile human-being.
ButHollywood Loves Roman Polanski.
Do they?
ButHollywood Loves Roman Polanski. You know the 44 year old who drugged and raped a 12 year older. Crimes far worse than Moore has committed.
i'll give ya a dollar if you can show how this has anything to do with the topic at hand of a talking about a person that is running to be a senator
since you know, he nor hollywood is running to be a US Senator
