Young women?

As people get better at talking about topics that they would perhaps prefer not to think about too much, I think that this conversation will be expanded upon more in the future.

"NPR described Jeffrey Epstein’s victims as “underage women..."

"How did this happen?"

I think it shouldn't make it seem more excusable for a man to abuse human beings who happen to be  teenagers if you call them "young women."

When I was growing up, teenagers were often referred to girls, and as young women, but not so often as children.
