All major media is referring to the children that were raped by Trump and Epstein as underage Women I understand, I do not watch the news anymore because my cardiologist told me if I do Ill have a heart attack and die so I need confirmation of this.

and should be identified as such. Not all of the talking heads doing it, but some are, and it's really irritating because it subtly diminishes the heinousness of the crimes, that they were acts of pedophilia. The fact is that these were crimes against children, and someone who calls these kids "women" should be called out and set straight. Of course, some of the victims were adults, e.g. Maria Farmer, and the crimes against those women shouldn't be ignored either.
