And general lack of basic respect for women as people, regardless of age.

When I was 26 or 27, I dropped out of a Bell Labs racquetball league because I couldn't stand listening to the locker room verbal mistreatment highly-educated men aimed at their female colleagues. Women with MS and PhD degrees, some of whom significantly outperformed** those same men in technical jobs, were spoken about as if they were subhuman.

** I had already been put into a mentor position, and had limited access to people's performance reviews.

Where all of this will fail across the US, is on "You let me cheat on my taxes by $10M every year, and you're going to draw a line at sex with 17-year-old?" That this will be largely successful is very depressing to me, even before we get to my granddaughters.
