I think it's really funny that people freaked out about the cancer joke, since I just showed this to my friend, who has cancer (coincidentally, I'm in the process of trying to convince him to date me), and we both laughed so hard we cried.

I found this at a great time, just before marrying my older fiance. We started dating when he was 23 and I was 17, just on the cusp of 18. Unlike most creeps, this creep was college educated, had a good career, and was overall very stable. All in all, it worked out great for us. But this doesn't make me an advocate for such relationships. I feel that the majority of them are a big mistake. I <3 this episode! I found this at a great time, just before marrying my older fiance.

It's more relaxed than most shows of this nature. Not everything is on target for me but overall great job! I just wish it was a little longer :) I like the show.

And then they bring up the magic number of 16. But here's the thing. Most girls aren't hitting puberty at 16 any more. They are hitting puberty at 12. Some are hitting puberty at 9 and 10. So, is it okay to date a 12 year old because she's post-pubescent and that's all that matters? It isn't just about whether someone has gotten their period. It is about all sorts of power differentials: life experience, income, independence, etc. And these numbers are relative...based on the power differential. 6 years doesn't seem like a big age difference when one person is 36 and the other is 30...but it does when one is 20 and one is 14...even if the 14year old is post pubescent.
