    “Young woman” is what that greasy sack of shit child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz called his victim. It’s an attempt to age them in the listeners mind.

      It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.

      So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.

      I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.
