This is from an interview, with Tucker Carlson I believe.
"It is a horrible allegation and it is a lie," Gaetz said. "The New York Times is running a story that I have traveled with a 17-year-old woman and that is verifiably false. People can look at my travel records and see that that is not the case." If you read between the lines, it seems odd that he would call a 17 year old girl a "woman". Do 38 year old guys call a 17 year old a girl, or a woman?
That doesn't seem that odd to me.
Banging a 17 year old when you're in your mid thirties on the other hand....someone should drug test him, he has that frat boy coke head look
No, it isn't odd. It is fucking creepy.
He dances, bobs, weaves, dodges, and shimmies his way through that interview so much he convinced me he 100% did it.
I didn't watch the interview. Calling a 17 year old a woman or man isn't that odd to me. They're on the cusp of adulthood. It also wouldn't be odd to me to call an 18 year old a girl or a boy.
Initially I agree but if he made a comment, "the woman I was with" and then you found out the girl was 17, that would not only sound odd, that would be an odd way to make the statement. I've never heard anyone, until now, refer to a 17 year old as a woman. A young woman, yes, a woman, nope.
He's using that word deliberately as part of a misinformation campaign. Don't refer to her as a girl, or young woman, instead she's a "woman". It attempts to somewhat normalize the relationship, and his followers will buy it.
And no, a 17 year old is never referred to as a "woman" or "man" unless you are trying to indicate that they are an adult. (the only exception that I can think of is sometimes, heat sheets at swim meets will list age groups as "women" and "men", regardless of age, but that might just be a software thing and is specific to the context of a swim meet.)
