16 is the age of consent here, and 15 year olds would be in secondary school, whereas a 17yo a would typically be rounding up their college/6th form years. In adolescence 2 years makes a huge difference in development. While 2 years isn’t a huge number, the younger you are, the more significant it is. And the more likely you are to be at different life-stages.

Misogyny leans on other power dynamics, including age, race and access to resources. Age gap is definitely relevant when a 17yo boy k*lls a 15yo girl.

We live in a grotesquely unequal society that concentrates wealth, status & power in the hands of a few.

Real patriotism is about building a society that cares for each other and cares for all.

"I am a black woman that has been playing rugby for five years, and saying it has changed my life is an understatement. I wish I had the self-belief, body confidence, and camaraderie that rugby has given me all my life."

Introverts are not quiet, they avoid conflict. They know you're wrong. How you're wrong. Why you're wrong. And the history & psychology of all your wrongs. They may stay quiet. You may think they gave up & you won. But trust me they planned the end even before you began thinking.
