Disgraceful -- yes. Perversion -- no.
With a large age discrepancy between sexual partners who are both physical adults, it is obviously an unconscionably self-centered act by the older partner, and almost certainly a sign of mental or psychological impairment, but it is not a perversion.
Perversion would be if the younger partner was post-pubescent or younger, or of the same sex as the older partner.
That being said, a Republican would never, ever get away with this.
I beg to differ. The repeated statutory rape by an adult , who is also an employer,perpetrated in the work place,is a perversion of our social contract and social values.
If it was your daughter involved, I have no doubt you would say that he is a pervert of the first water.
But love can bloom in strange places. And that is what makes people have forgiving hearts.
