lol yes.
Canadian law calls 16 year olds adults wrt most privileges like working, driving and owning or renting property.
My son can't vote or enlist yet. And that is all.
He could get married if he wanted to.
The whole attempt to paint Xena as a creepy child molester smells of desperation and is of extreme bad taste, imo.
"I don't like those who prey on children either, but I don't see the boogeyman around every corner. Seems like something happened somewhere in your past..."
She's from a different generation, she's lived through some tough times and in different environments/neighborhoods than most of you here, so ofc she has her own way of coping with life. Based on that she took the decisions she saw as best for her kids. I see nothing to contradict this, and her version of the events is plausible and makes sense to me without raising any creepy pedo suspicions. A lot of you jumping on Xena project your own ideas about how to raise kids, despite that you have no fucking experience with raising kids yourself (Sugar, wooster, etc).
Her daughter is 23 now, so Xena gave birth to her at 23, so the whole incident with the diaper dude happened when Xena was about your age, Sugar. It's easy for people without kids like us to blab our mouth about how someone should raise their kids differently, how they should have done this instead of that, but at the end of the day, it's a big responsibility and a huge task that is bound to not be perfect. Judging by some of your reactions here and by how out of touch with reality you can sometimes be, you may be way worse at parenting than Xena was at your age, Sugar.
I lost count of how many times you've accused Xena of being a pedomother, of talking sexually to her kids, of abandoning her kids to fuck, of molesting her boy/fondling him, and Xena keeps denying those claims or clearing them up, then you just move on to the next thing. It's just lowly at this point, to do this shit to some single mother online, and it shows either massive immaturity or massive issues on the part of those who do it. It's just fucked up at this point.
Ironically, that was a thread I had in mind when I asked Xena what she thought the origins of being ganged-up on were. Her conception of all of this is that it ties back to her siding with Luna during the banning incident involving KF. But Xena going under scope (here) actually stretches back to when she was playing whack-a-mole with various ex-PF puppets, accusing them all of being Maggie (most were wooster). wooster never doctored her writing style—the idiosyncrasy was obvious. wooster simply enjoyed cycling accounts transparently and seeing Xena confused.
Between whatever issue sugar had with wooster and the fixation of some rather outspoken male members, many of Xena's behaviors were overlooked. The bandwagoning was as bad then as it is now. Everything being dissected about Xena now was already laid out to all who were present on this site in 2014.
In an over-vigilant self-defensiveness that clouds or confounds both deduction and induction, Xena's need to maintain image is fostered. Clearly some are well-aware of this, hence all the talk about her parenting (sensitive subject, that).
The need to appear justified and justifiable has extended into a two-month case study. Those who disagree with her on points are confused for others, as has always been rampant. My personal experience of this involves claims I am attacking her behind other accounts...most recently "ThenFuckit" to my knowledge, because we "have a similar arguing style." In all fairness, we may sound remotely alike. But anyone who has paid attention to my behavior knows better.
You had brought up the idea of Xena reverse-trolling. She does this in the same way as what I had brought up to everyone about how TK reverse-trolls. It involves an awareness that particular forms of self-expression can rile up others, and thus known triggers for others can be perceived and weaponized to elicit negative reactions and a sense of control. But these buttons are found in roots of actual self-expression, which as in the case of TK, can be found to be consistent over years of posts on PF.
I don't like to put people under the knife, but you have been rude to my friends and I, Xena. :(
