“I highlighted his comment because you Posted your initial response as if he didn’t say it.”

I posted it first! Clearly that would mean that my other comments were in relation to it but not negated by it. All you did was post back to me the same quote I had already posted and you said that you guessed I missed it. No, I was commenting on how his comment made no sense because of what ELSE HE SAID.

“He made a point to differentiate between a Teenage Girl and a Teenage Boy.”

Correct - and yet his own point was undermined by his own logic. That’s what I pointed out and that’s what you completely ignored.

“You may disagree with his viewpoint, but your example is exactly what he did not approve of.”

NO. Are you forgetting the word “pursued”? That’s the point. If he’s going to say an adult woman cannot be charged with raping a minor because the minor is a boy who (the teacher claims) pursued her than you cannot ignore the importance of “pursuing” if the sexes were reversed. That shoots a huge hole in his other contention that the situation is different if it’s a male teacher and a female student. Tucker is apparently too much of a dumbass to realize that statutory rape is dependent upon age and not dependent upon the sex of the victim. It also is not dependent upon who is pursuing whom although he seems to think it is!

“I’m not arguing whether he is hypocritical or not.”

But I am! So if you’re going to comment on my post you should take that into account shouldn’t you?

“I just made the point that he offered a caveat, right or wrong.”

And his caveat makes no sense. Statutory rape charges have nothing to do with the adult being a woman. They have everything to do with the respective ages of the people involved. If statutory rapes isn’t statutory rape because the teacher is a woman pursued by a teenage boy (and that is what Tucker is saying), then how can he say it is somehow different if the sexes were reversed? So I not only reversed the sexes, I threw in his point about the minor pursuing the adult because he seems to think that makes a difference. He probably believes it shows the boy wanted it so statutory rape does not apply. Well, then, if the teenage girl pursues the adult teacher how can Tucker still say that that is wrong?

Tucker’s point of view makes no sense according to his own words. That’s the point.
