The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

What’s wrong with the word ”rapist”?

It was in Arkansas. 17 is legal there.

16 is the legal limit! But she was 17.

“Minor”?

[–] LowtierComputer 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm no lawyer, but if I understand it correctly, a minor is someone who is not an adult, but the legal age for intercourse can fall before this age.

Like if you're 16 and that's the legal age, you're still a minor. Can't vote, can't buy a pistol or drink, but you can have sex.
