I don't play identity politics - so I won't confirm whether I'm a man or a woman, my sexuality, my race, my age or the gender of the Significant Other Penguin. You can find out more about me on the pinned story on my account. People are always welcome to guess and many choose to do so but I don't confirm or deny anything.

I think I disagree because of your characterisation of young woman as 'vulnerable', why on earth would an empowered young woman be vulnerable? I can see there might be vulnerable people in the world, but I see no indication this need be related to age. I think it's disempowering young women, as you appear to be (based on your photo). I would imagine if an older man approached you for a relationship, you'd likely tell him to fuck off. If not, why not? Is that an inherent vulnerability or a cost/risk decision you're making as an adult in charge of your own life? Adult women are adult women and don't need cosseting... by all means give them all the relevant information required to make a good decision but don't retrospectively allow bad decisions to be struck off under the guise of benevolence.

I also watched the trial and I have come to a conclusion based on what I saw... so tell me, based on what you saw... what makes you think Amber Heard is being truthful about this? Why are you sure that you're prepared to throw a potential victim (as the court found him to be) under the bus in favour of a woman who most people (including 7 jury members) feel lied on the stand. What did you see that the rest of us didn't?
