Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.

Many enough to make someone feel it’s most, apparently. Which is an experience that shouldn’t be so readily dismissed.
Yes, of course your feelings are the most valid kind of data that exists. Good point.
How would you measure this? Set up an Gynoid that looks like a teenage girl and records all interaction with men?
If you have no data, and cannot measure it, what else is there but the lived experience of many people.
And even if you had data to prove it’s a small minority of men being creeps towards teenage girls, isn’t it still relevant how that is perceived by said teenagers as they grow up?
So we’ve gone from “most” to “many” to “it doesn’t actually matter how many”.
Still need me to explain why your vibes reporting on this isn’t very compelling?
I don’t have the time or resources to make a survey with a representative sample size of how many women have been inappropriately approached by adult men.
I can tell you that all women I know closely enough to talk about things like that have had issues with being sexually propositioned against their will by older men from their early teens on. That is, of course, anecdotal.
This is also something regularly discussed in culture. If you’re saying that we need more data, I am with you. If you’re saying you don’t want to consider the topic because we don’t have enough data yet, that feels disingenuous.
Do I need to explain to you why dismissing people being victimised out of hand because they can’t give you exact enough numbers for your taste isn’t very compelling?
