You feature sexy women and girls in your works. Are you a pervert?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I feel that a man who is attracted to women displaying sexiness, strength, competence, etc. - however interpreted - has a healthy libido (or “sex drive”) rather than is a pervert, whose sexual preferences prevent him from functioning.

Anyway, do you really believe that when Taylor Swift depicted her friends and herself laying waste to a whole city in the videoclip for "Bad Blood" (and Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger and similar likely showed it more than once) that they actually are indeed so violent in real life? While sometimes I felt like doing that when there was a lot of commotion outside when I was trying to sleep or concentrate, I didn't actually do that, and at most ranted about it online or called the police. I believe no great action hero will ever deliberately kick a friendly cat or dog.

Furthermore, just because I write about stuff like that, does not mean I do not have enough self-control, or that I have sex with, sexually assault, or sexually harass everything that moves.

Moreover, if you think my fiction is bad, you should try the Hebrew Bible or, to a lesser extent, some of the modern slash fiction and other incest fiction that exist, and which: 1. Many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and even trans people dislike; 2. Its authors are often otherwise sexually healthy functioning adults.


Now regarding their age: yes, I'm aware that some of them are underage. But it may seem farfetched, but I think that underage girls and boys can still be competent, both in their tangible endeavours, but also in their sexual/romantic orientation. Back at the time, Macaulay Culkin, who was the “alpha male” of a large part of the 1990s (despite his youth), raised a few eyebrows, when marrying at the age of 18 shortly after high school graduation. However, I recently heard of a Jewish couple of a husband and wife who were 15 then (with the girl pregnant), and as scary as it sounded, it didn’t seem too horrid of a thought. Some people learn faster than others.

Just another note about Culkin: some people also criticised him for possessing Marijuana and for its use, but many young and not-so-young people I talked with have had a history of Marijuana use, or even Marijuana addiction, so I do not hold it against him. See my “The Case for Drug Legalisation” for why Marijuana, and all other illegal narcotics, should be made legal globally.


Finally, note that E Nesbit, and JK Rowling both featured underage children in their books.

When PETA's twitter criticised the sexualisation of catgirls in Anime, it was criticised for not going against Sesame Street, or My Little Pony, or Disney and being bullies. (Note that PETA's Twitter may have become less so since.) So please pick on someone your size, or just admit you were wrong, and choose a more worthwhile battle.
