Stacey McCain is rightly alarmed by a great swath of the reaction to the Florida case of Kaitlin Ashley Hunt.
She's an 18-year-old high school student whose lesbian affair with a 14-year-old freshman began with a toilet-stall seduction and progressed to the younger girl taking refuge at Hunt's house when she ran away from home.
Hunt faces statutory-rape charges and could be incarcerated for a decade and put on the sex-offender registry.
As she should be.
There is a "Free Kate" movement now that is predicated on such memes as the younger girl's parents being bigots for being distressed about all this, and "Romeo and Juliet" loopholes in the relevant laws.
Get you brain around how far the societal rot has progressed, as evidenced by the particulars here:
1.) Toilet-stall sexual overtures of any type, much less of a lesbian nature, are now regarded as legitimate beginnings to romantic relationships. The rot has progressed so far that "dating-and-courthship-are-dying-and-being-replaced-by-hookups" observations have a banality to them now.
2.) The dismantling of the age-old notion of family gets a major boost from this case.
3.) Adolescent feelings now prevail over all other considerations, including the basic authority required for maintaining basic public order.
4.) A populace that trivializes genital gratification is sufficiently dehumanized to trade basic human nobility for the all-encompassing guardianship of the state. Yes, I'm drawing a line from hook-ups to property rights and the rights of free expression and assembly.
5.) Any injection of God into the national conversation about this will instantly marginalize the person so injecting.
6.) Sex becomes an ever more joyless aspect of human existence.
