To: Tired of Taxes

When I was about 8, some girls who were about 9, 13, and 15 played doctor with me. Yes it was wrong, but do they belong in prison for their sin? No, I was not harmed and I actually enjoyed it. They made my day. Now I know that it is different for boys, but kids will be kids. If every kid who played doctor was sent to prison, the jails would be over filled.

To: Do the math

I’m not sure what’s meant exactly by “playing doctor” - that might have different definitions for different people - but what those girls did to you was wrong. But — I realize men do see this issue a little bit differently when they’re the victims and females the perpetrators.

A big Amen to that. I think there are a few million who would respond the same.

A few have tried to mischaracterize what happened as “playing doctor”, but the comparison is false.

Playing doctor is something young children do out of curiosity, and the participants are willing.

The police report states Josh Duggar engaged in FORCIBLE fondling, which was initially discovered when one of the girls went to her father in tears. Josh was old enough to be in high school, and the youngest sister he molested was five...when he got caught with his hand up her skirt, under the guise of reading her a book, he dropped the book and ran from the room, according to the report.

Your comparison doesn’t hold water.
