Harris Wofford's incredible (love) story

[The Arizonan]

Harris Wofford's lover is not even half of his age and that's the only part that is disturbing.

Ugh what a half plus seven violating creep.

You do realise that 'rule' isn't actually the law?

Uh, who cares? It's legal for me to f[inks] 16-year olds in Minnesota but that doesn't make it OK.

What? You mean the age of consent in Minnesota is 16?

Oh my God.

[The Arizonan]

According to the half plus seven rule, the minimum age for a 90-year old's partner is 52.  Obviously that's a big difference versus 40, but there's still a 38 year gap between 52 and 90.  At that point the 'rule' clearly breaks down.

Of course, we're all assuming that a 90-year old is looking for any kind of sexual relationship from their partner.

What exactly do you mean when the "half plus seven" rule breaks down?

[The Arizonan]

If they were BOTH wrinkly old men or if the younger one is at least 52, then it wouldn't really be an issue.
