Said this about Russell Brand earlier this year, and feel even more strongly about it now about the David Walliams allegations: there should be a staggered age of consent.
Someone in their thirties has no business having sex with a teenager, even if they're 'legal'!
Piers Morgan clashes with James Barr and Ernest over ovarian cancer, transgender identity and whether gender is defined by biology or self-identification
Piers Morgan: “Men can't get ovarian cancer because men don't have ovaries. What is a leading cancer charity doing asking this stupid question?”
James Barr: “What are you doing attacking a charity? They're trying to help someone and raise awareness about people who could suffer from ovarian cancer.”
Piers Morgan: “A woman with terminal ovarian cancer messaged me and said the idea of sharing a tiny ward with someone who identifies as a woman but has a penis fills her with utter horror.”
James Barr: “You aren't a woman, Piers, neither am I. You know so much about women, your wife took a two-week break from you. Why are we listening to you talking about women constantly?”
Piers Morgan: “No men have ovaries. No women have penises.”
Ernest: “You all believe there is only one type of woman, which is cisgender women. Anyone who doesn't fit that definition is excluded. In my opinion, that is transphobic
Esther Krakue: “Are there different types of black people, or is black just black? Just like there's no such thing as cisgender and transgender, there are just women.”
Ernest: “Why are you conflating race with gender?”
Piers Morgan: “If I now identify as a black man, am I a black man? Am I a black man if I say I'm a black man?”
Ernest: “No, because you're a white man. You can identify as a black man, Piers, but I know you lean on white privilege more than anything else.”
Piers Morgan: “So you wouldn't respect my rights to identify as a black man? Would you respect me and refer to me as black? Yes or no?”
Ernest: “No.”
Piers Morgan: “Thank you, Ernest.”
Being English is not defined by skin colour.
But the census says the only English ethnicity is "White English". Josh Babarinde has proposed a law to change that.
The colour of someone's skin should never determine whether they belong here or how far they can go.
March 2018. A 27-year-old married 6th grade teacher in Arizona is arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old student.
His parents found out from an app they had just put on his phone to monitor him.
She asked an 11-year-old boy from her class to stand guard at the classroom door.
In the video below, the moment police arrest her.
Her name is Brittany Zamora. She taught 6th grade at Las Brisas Academy in Goodyear, Arizona.
It started on Classcraft, an app the school used for lessons. Then came the texts. One of them: "OMG, I love you."
The 11-year-old she put at the door was the boy's friend. He told police he saw everything and was told to keep it a secret. Another boy's mother told investigators Zamora had promised to send her son explicit photos too.
When the boy's parents confronted her, she told them: "I ask myself the same question." In a recorded call she said she had ruined her life and her marriage.
In June 2019 she pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation and public sexual indecency. One charge alone carried up to 27 years.
At sentencing she told the judge she's "a good and genuine person who made a mistake." The boy's mother, in a statement read in court, said she hated her.
The judge gave her 20 years, the minimum. The boy's parents sued her, her husband and the school district for $2.5 million.
@McWrightFace@ArchieHicoxGB It sounds like you’re looking at pretty specific age rules here, that change every year you get older. Quite the minefield.
