I get it. Don’t objectify women. Respect. Dignity. All that stuff. But really, I think holding 13-year-old kids to the same standard is fine until you start talking 10 years juvenile detention for horseplay.
Two 13-year-old Oregon boys are facing serious sex charges for allegedly slapping female classmates’ bottoms as a form of horseplay.

“These cases are devastating to children,” he [the DA prosecuting the case] said. “They are life-altering cases.”
So, um, today’s winner of the Blahg’s very first “Shut-the-hell-up-and-stop-being-stupid” award. Sadly, I suspect I’ll have to award it repeatedly now that it exists.
And some people might disagree with me that the punishment is too harsh, doesn’t fit the act, and all that stuff. It’s OK. I’m fine with others being wrong.
