William Saletan on Roman Polanski’s drugging and raping thirteen year olds:
Human Nature : The Polanski Affair: The average age of menarche... has fallen two to four months per decade, depending on the country.... It’s quite plausible that the 13-year-old girl Polanski had sex with in the late 1970s was, to some degree, sexually mature. Having sex at 13 is a bad idea. But if you’re pubescent, it might be, in part, your bad idea.... A guy who goes after a womanly body that happens to be 13 years old is failing to regulate a natural attraction. That doesn’t excuse him. But it does justify treating him differently.... There’s a difference between pedophilia and taking advantage of somebody who’s old enough to be interested in sex but too young to judge the physical and emotional risks of messing around. If the legal officers and moral critics of the 1970s saw that distinction more clearly than we do, the shame is ours.
The faggot defended drug rape and forced sodomy.
The girl was not a willing partner.
She still is adamant that Mr. Polanski violated her against he wishes. The only “softening” in her position is that she does not see the point in jailing him now or prosecuting him now for the flight out of the trial.
But then the sex positive agenda seeks to end ALL moral judgments.
