You believe some of the girls are underage because of what you have read in Twitter. You don’t know the details and the stories linked above don’t reveal them. They are filled with a few thousand people presenting their opinions as fact. Do you know for a fact the person didn’t claim to be 18 or 21 in earlier conversation. Do you know for fact that images were unsolicited? Because someone thought it would be a good idea to post these on twitter, anyone with google has access to them. If you did the research then we’ll done. The post and links above haven’t demonstrated that.

Let me try this again because it appears you keep missing it. This isn't people on twitter just presenting opinions. I've mentioned several times how several women have posted screen shots of the interactions. If you bothered to actually go see any of those feeds (and reddit and elsewhere), what you'll clearly see is many women saying, "OMG, that happened to me too! He did the same thing!" And then many others actually post screen shots. I know some of those women were underage because I find that more plausible than them lying about their online age all these years
just in case some guy sent them pics, so they could bust him later...
This isn't a "he said, she said" thing. This is many people coming forward, and many of those providing evidence.
I said your post is part of the problem because it is. It's why things like the #metoo movement even came about, because you're entire argument relies on the fact that these women are probably lying, or mistaken, or otherwise untrustworthy. Even setting aside all of the physical evidence of what happened, that's a pretty crappy thing to do, to assume
all of these women are lying. It doesn't matter if there was no crime committed (well, it does, but even putting that aside for a moment), the mere fact that he was constantly harassing people in a repugnant way is enough. That was the whole point behind #metoo. "It happened to me too." Behavior like his happens way too often, and it will keep happening as long as there are people (ironically almost always men) who say "Well,
I didn't see anything personally/people are just prudes these days, so let's not talk about it at all and never hold the harasser responsible."
Do not commit adultery, or do not sleep with someone you are not married to, is an old rule many believe to be prudish and outdated. Since the sixties, we have worked very hard to make this rule out to have no place in modern times, that people should be allowed to sleep with whoever they want as long as it’s consensual. But imagine, if you will, what would happen if every person took this one rule to heart.
There would be no STDs. No fatherless children or single mothers, except by death of the father. No heartbreak from infidelity. No broken homes due to infidelity. No sexual harassment cases. No need for a MeToo movement. No men of power taking advantage of those under their power for sexual favors. No sex scandals. No rape. More equality for women. 80% fewer abortions, as only 20% of abortions are from married women. No porn industry, which promotes the objectification and enslavement of women for the pleasure of others.

This is...wholly factually incorrect. You seem to think that things like harassment are only sexual intercourse. STDs can be transmitted in other ways outside of sex. Leering at women, or putting your hand on their shoulder while leaning over them, or inappropriate (not always sexual) comments are all examples of harassment, and none of those would go away even in your ideal world where no one had sex unless they were married. Your comment also implies that once married, you are married forever and can never divorce. Additionally, infidelity isn't always sexual in nature. Emotional cheating is a thing, and happens a lot and has the same impacts as sexual cheating. I don't think you're doing it on purpose, but you post illustrates part of the problem as well. Your idea infers that all these bad things like harassment is only applicable for the really big stuff, like sexual intercourse, when clearly that's not the actual case. It's the "well, why are they (victims) complaining, that's no big deal. It's not like they were raped or cheated on?"
The point a lot of people (again, seems like mostly men) can't seem to grasp is that it doesn't matter if you meant nothing wrong by it, or that you don't see the harm in a brief touch, or comment, or staredown as she walks by. If it's unwanted and not asked for, don't do it. It's harassment.
