My morning did not begin in the best way possible. I wake up and watch the sun rise over the city and write in my journal, while my roommate brews coffee and watches the Today Show. Today, I finished writing and thought I'd come out for a bit before getting cleaned up and dressed for the day, just watch a little tv and say hi.
What did I get to see on the tv? A little news story on catching men hoping to have sex with a 14 yr old girl. NBC or whatever set up a profile on a chat site with a 14 year old girl, then set up cameras at her house (I missed if the girl was real or just made up) and had their reporter there to meet them. Something like 20 odd men arrived in 2 days. They didn't look like couldn't get dates their own age. One guy was married with two children. Every man said it was their first time doing something like this. Of course.
I was sickened. I got that feeling in my stomach that makes me want to leave society far far away, crawl into a dark cave, go back to being a lesbian, never have children, or something, where this kind of fucked up shit doesn't have to be real. Men, grown men, wanting to have sex with a 14 year old. Maybe, maybe under different circumstances I might not think this is so heinous. In many parts of the world 14 is on the low end of marriagable (not that I agree with that, but millions of others do). Some 14 year olds are more sexually mature than others. And there is something beautiful about the girl-becoming-woman stage of life. However, having worked in a high school and having been a 14 year old girl once, a very horny 14 year old too I might add, I can speak with some authority when I say that MEN SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SEX WITH TEENAGE GIRLS. I don't care if they are smooth and perky or some sick fantasy exists of the untouched blossom nonesense.
And that is all for this morning. I'm going for a walk.
