UK: Alleged Ex-Girlfriend of Russell Brand Calls for Maxing Out the “Age of Consent”


Oh, yeah, great idea – let’s make everything much worse by giving women even more power!

The Guardian:

There are growing calls for the laws and social norms around the age of consent to be reassessed after allegations that Russell Brand sexually assaulted a 16-year-old when he was in his 30s.

The alleged victim, who told the Sunday Times that Brand had a three-month relationship with her which started in 2006, has called for a debate around staggered ages of consent.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week, the woman known by the alias Alice said it was time to “start to think about changing” the law and “staggered ages of consent”.

There’s a reasonable argument [that] individuals between the ages of 16 and 18 can have relations with people within that same age bracket,” she said, adding that there should be a way to prevent older adults from exploiting 16- and 17-year-olds. “You’re allowed to make mistakes as a teenager, they should be with other people your own age.”

Alice alleged that on one occasion during the relationship, Brand, then 31, “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke, and he only stopped when she punched him in the stomach.

The current law is problematic because it is creating a space where people don’t think relationships between young, potentially vulnerable people and someone much older is unacceptable,” said Jayne Butler, CEO of Rape Crisis England and Wales. She said one potential area that could be explored was extending the current provision under the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, which makes it illegal to take part in sexual activity with someone under 18 if you are someone in a position of trust such as a teacher.

Assuming that every relationship a woman is involved in is a “mistake” – as that argument necessarily assumes – why does it matter how old the man is?

Their answer is of course some communist gibberish about “power dynamics.” They won’t explain what it means, they just start mumbling and trail off – “muh power dynamics, muthafuka…”

Assuming that it is possible to “exploit” a woman – I don’t accept that this is possible, but assuming you are the kind of faggot that believes this bullshit – why would an older man have more ability than a younger man to do this “exploiting”? Also, what happens to a woman between the ages of 16 and 18 that makes her become “unexploitable”?

It’s stupid.

The age of consent is a hoax, designed to prevent girls from pair-bonding effectively as virgins. If they cared about “exploitation,” they would be saying “no sex before marriage.” Instead, they’re saying sex before marriage is fine, you just have to do it with teenage boys who have no ability to materially provide for you.

Russell Brand is totally doomed.

They are going to keep saying “forced his penis down the throat of a child.”

He is pinned against a wall and he is running out of time to flee the country.
