We are now invited to despise the bullshitter for telling a 17-year-old woman at a party that he found her attractive.

We can hardly assume that the bullshitter's boasts were true. Even men who are usually honest on other topics have been known to lie about their sexual achievements. However, I wouldn't assume they were false, or that he did an injustice to anyone at these parties. In a group of 50 models, there could well be some that would eagerly go to bed with a rich man, either to boost their careers or for a lark.

If you condemn men for finding teenage female models attractive, you might as well condemn men for being heterosexual. The bully may be predatory, but it appears he didn't display this overtly at those parties.

There are indications that he arbitrarily chose the winners of the Miss USA beauty contest while he owned it. That would be a real wrong, since it would have made the contest dishonest.

I understand the desire to condemn the bullshitter on every aspect of his life, but it is no excuse for ageism. If you can understand that we shouldn't dictate people's gender preferences, you should understand that we shouldn't dictate their age preferences either.

There are plenty of tremendously important reasons to condemn the bully. He is attacking workers' rights, abortion rights, non-rich people's pensions and medical care, the environment, human rights, and democracy, even the idea of truth. Let's focus on those real reasons.
