We can't be at any protests. We have a toddler, and must think of her first. That being said, if we could be, we would be. The corruption and inequality of our system has gone on for too long. We stand with you in solidarity and spirit. #BlackLivesMatter
I love public explanations.
So.
I empathized with a party who had the same age mirroring my own relationship. I regret that age difference and was running from abuse. A 16 year old could be too.
So I empathize with why.
That does not mean I approve.
I do not.

@palemimis 1. Apologizing for looking like I emapthized with a pedo because the age difference is the same.
2. Dated him at 19, married at 20, divorced at 23. There's your full timeline.
3. Public apology so trolls like you could do what you want.

Just found out our ex-husband could basically be considered a pedo, (we were 19, he was 31) and my parents are absolute garbage for giving me away to him. Fun. I guess I'm terrible for empathizing with someone who mirrored it. I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

@yangiregf @palemimis I saw it from the perspective of the younger seeing the older as comfort. I never thought of how the older sees the younger, because i didn't think of how the ex husband maybe saw me. Makes the whole ex marriage worse now.
My apologies.

@yangiregf @palemimis So simply put, no, I disapprove. I just know it happened to me, so I understand how it happens.
But I disapprove. And wouldn't do it myself again given the option.
But guess what? The past is permanent. And I can empathize with why. Doesn't mean I approve.

@yangiregf @palemimis If you're 16 sleeping with a 27 year old, your parents should be concerned. Frankly. We used the relationship to run like fuck from abuse. But a good parent would be like, nah man. I would ground our daughter for the next two years.
But it isn't illegal.

National conference of state legislatures
Discussing state laws related to learning consent and sexual concepts earlier to prevent teen pregnancy.

@palemimis Doctors put 14 year old girls on birth control. We don't have sex ed starting in 6th (some places 4th) grade for no reason. Parents make the choice to allow teaching. The school system allows for the concepts of sex and consent to be learned early. Consent. Is. Key.

@palemimis Girl, bye. π We married a 31 year old when we were 20. The age difference was the same. We may have divorced that man for being a racist fuck that couldn't drive, but that age difference is legal. If both are age of consent in their area there's nothing else to say.π€·π»ββοΈ

I apologize to any systems trying to avoid any triggering/anxiety inducing content. I won't offended if you mute or unfollow this account for a while. We cannot stay silent. If they can go after one marginalized group, they can come for ANY of us. History proves it.

@Cadet_Skittlez It's triggering a lot of body memory for us. It's also impossible to get away from right now too. Try to remember self-care! All our empathy and love. π§‘

How many "homeless sheltering in place" are you going to deem as loitering? How many "traveling to and from work?" will you deem liars?
A curfew for adults (underage has them in some states already) shows a policed state. Who decides who is exempt? A cop? HA.
