Victim Shaming children? Paedophile Supporters



As The Root posts video of Dershowitz Calling Victimised Child a Prostitute - she "made her own decisions" do we really need to remind a cabal of dirty old men and their enablers that they are not women and they could not give consent, implied or otherwise. They were children. They are victims.

Think about that when you see the media, particularly the right-wing media, victim shaming these children. They are literally supporting paedophiles who raped children over and over....

Declaring when the age of majority is another form of privilege I guess.
