She was lucky too! Steven was FOYNE.

reply

No, he wasn’t the luckiest kid ever. He was sexually groomed by a mentally unstable woman.

If this movie was gender reversed, would you still be calling a 15 year old girl “lucky”?

reply

Wait, are you arguing for gender equality or against it? I'm confused.

Wait, wait, I think I've got it: you are FOR age discrimination, but AGAINST gender. Or something...

When I was in high school there were about five female teachers who were in their early/mid twenties and HOT AF. Three of them were rumored to have slept with male students ages fifteen thru eighteen and everyone kept it on the downlow except for the boys who got lucky, but even then they were secretly admired or envied by the rest of the student body. There was no such thing as a horny pubescent teen boy being traumatized from having sex with a hot woman. Why this is even a thing in today's world speaks to the differences in culture and the continued victimization mentality being promoted by the left, the right, and the religious zealots of every stripe.

Underaged kids get traumatised by their abusers, and it fucks them up for life. I don’t think those kids were “lucky”, they’ve had their childhoods taken away from them by the adults that were supposed to protect them.

This is a thing in todays world, unless you’re okay with an old woman or man going after your underaged siblings?

reply

I pity witless prudes like you.

reply

I wish a glamorous older woman had gone after me at that age! The problem is prudes and moralists who.kick up a fuss and instill guilt feelings.

reply

Except Stephen pursued HER. So how exactly was he a victim? He knew what he was doing. He even lied to her about his family situation.

reply

Wait, doesn't he die in this movie? You know what, don't tell me. I don't want any spoilers.

Google is your friend.

reply

Not true! Google is just one more cyberbully.

reply

Have your mommy hold your hand while you google the ending to Notes on a Scandal.

reply

What makes you think he died? She goes to jail for 10 years, which is a kind of death.
