you are a typing contradiction guy.While I agree with you that I'd prefer people behaved as you or I would in those mismatched age situations, (not have them) you need to explain why, If both parties were capable of consenting to something, where we would get the right to insist they behave as we would if their behavior is confined to only them. Does either one of us own another person ? No
Is Roy Moore a douche bag? Yes, I think so. Would I ostracize him ? Yes
Legislatively established ages of consent as an iron clad absolute, have the possibility of imposing restrictions on people who are capable of self determining. Further legislatively established ages of consent vary from place to place which makes them even more subjective and arbitrary.
You say you would not do it , but... GTFO.
A child cannot consent to sexual relations with an adult. We have to establish an age of consent to stop pedophiles from taking advantage of our youth. How can you be against this in anyway ? Has nothing to do with ownership and ever thing to do with age limits, maturity, making the right decision etc...
No fucking way a 12 year old can make the adult decision to have sex, have a child and take care of such child. Stop giving pedophiles an excuse
