I don't know the origin of this but it's true.

Girls are not 'underage women'.
'Sex with a child' is abuse.

@paulk Years ago it became the vogue to call girls of a certain age young women. Any female under 18 is a girl. We need to stop calling them young woman and young ladies. They are girls.

The same verbiage was used to refer to the sexual abuse by priests of boys, referring to them as young men, some underage.

@paulk True, but there were also young women over the age of 18 trafficked by Epstein and we shouldn't leave them out of the conversation. Just because they were adults, it doesn't mean they were not abused. Especially the 19 year old woman from Oklahoma who said she was going to report Trump and Epstein for rape before she was found dead.
