@ imnobody, MerelyMortalMale, Palindromedary

Spinsters jealous of May-December relationships, eh? That’s where you go when you are outwitted by the posters here, I guess. Did jealous spinsters fabricate the story about Mr. Freeman being the step grandfather of Ms. Hines, who also helped raise her? That’s what the brouhaha is all about. If she were just some 27 year old he was screwing around with even without his wife’s consent, I couldn’t care less. And I’m sure most of the other posters here wouldn’t care either. Having a nearly decade long affair with your step-granddaughter who you helped raise is just sick.

Maybe you’re just frustrated because you feel we’re about to infringe upon your designs to con naïve 19 year olds into having sex with you, thereby further reducing your playing field and your chances at getting laid. Intelligent, educated women your own age probably see you for the one-dimensional, knee-jerk morons you are from a mile away.

I know that the disagreement is easier to bear when you can imagine those that disagree with your weird, dick-centric fantasies as “spinster”, “Victorian”, “kneedle clacking” (as in knitting), “prude”, “morally outraged”, “ninny”, “harridan”, or “harping hags”. The reality is much more complicated, unfortunately for you. Many of us are probably conventionally attractive, obviously intelligent and in satisfying sexual relationships. We are not however, warm, doe-eyed, agreeable vixens who marvel at your stupid, sexist missives and insults.
