Just by looking at her, it's not clear if a little romp in the hay with her makes a guy a sex offender or not.

Imagine your brother, 22 years old, is at a music festival. He gets a little drunk, and meets a hot chick like that, she's a little frisky...

She has to say she's 21 because they officially only let over 21s into the event.

So she and your brother enjoy great sex in addition to the great music and everybody's happy 'till her dad finds out and your brother gets arrested, and the headlines read LOCAL MAN RAPES CHILD

Tatiana was 17 when that photo was taken. She was not a child by any stretch of the imagination. But the Hysteria requires that we ignore reality, and make sure that the entire world thinks your brother is a pedophile sex predator.

A story:  Mr Beerbelly is French. He lives in Paris. He's almost 50. He's a bit overweight. So is his wife. He doesn't have a good sex life. He watches porn. It's mostly beautiful women aged 18-25.

The age of consent in France is 15. If it's so easy to manipulate beautiful women who are 15, 16 or 17 why on earth is Mr Beerbelly still with his wife? If the wisdom of his age gives him power over sexy young women (there are lots in Paris), his marriage must be over, right?

There are tens of millions of men like him all over Europe. They could all use their magic manipulation powers to get hot young tail anytime they want, right? And totally legally, as the age of consent is between 14 and 16. but when you talk to Europeans you find, nope.

People are sexual, just like all other animals.

Even people under 18 are sexual. Nature made us that way.

The entire concept of "sexualizing" a person is COMPLETELY INSANE.

but this guy is a terrified sex-phobic Puritan parent. So he's sure that even fictional under 18s should be portrayed as having no sexuality.

(and he doesn't know what pedophilia is)

This whole thing is Puritan Hysteria.

Seeing fictional characters who are sexual is not going to turn a generation of young people into dangerous perverts :-D

Pseudoscience about "bad brains" has been an integral part of bigotry for at least 200 years. Women, African-Americans, teenagers, whoever the bigots want to oppress, suddenly there is very fishy "science" proving their brains are bad.

teenagers are men and women

it's #BasicBiology

Puritan Hysteria is how we got teens on the sex offender registry for the heinous crime of photographing their own bodies. The only moral choice is to start respecting young adults aged 14-18 again. Prohibition solves nothing.

This article is long, but it contains an important debunking of the outrageous lies being told about hundred of thousands of young women kidnapped and forced into prostitution. The real numbers are about 1000 times lower.

Hysterical overprotective parents do not want their young adult sons and daughters having sex, and they will do just about anything to stop them from having sex with someone they disapprove of. Including telling ridiculous lies like "They're just children. They're babies!!!"

This is the kind of appalling shit bad age of consent laws do: "They dated since he was 17. He turned 18 and now faces 15 years behind bars." And when he gets out he will be on the Sex Offender Registry, too.

The definitive study of age-gap relationships was done by University of Massachusetts researchers Denise A. Hines and David Finkelhor It is a thorough and comprehensive meta study.

They found no causse for alarm.

The same people who oppose abortion also oppose contraceptives and sex education. Their real goal is to make sex dangerous. They want there to be severe consequences for the sin of indulging lust. 

I've talked with several of them and they admitted it. They want young women to be virgins or get married. They don't want young women to have other options, like, god forbid, casual sex.

Gen Z has been so drastically infantilized that they think they are children until they're 26. 

This is not an argument for raising the age of majority. 

It is a stark reminder that we desperately need to end helicopter parenting immediately.

Statistically being homosexual is way outside the norm. 

Also being red-headed or left-handed is outside the norm. 

Just because something is natural for a small percentage of people doesn't mean it's morally wrong, or must be severely punished. 

"power dynamics" is 100% bullshit and getting all neurotic about it has made the youngs miserable AF. They're having less sex than any previous generation, and killing themselves faster than ever before.

 The Tanner Scale is the gold standard for that. So, yeah, science knows when people reach Tanner 5, which is adulthood.

You cannot protect children by abusing teenagers, infantilizing them, and taking away all their rights.

Woman means post-pubescent human female (varies by individual but usually 14 ) Underage means below an arbitrarily set number of birthdays. Usually 18. All women spent 3, 4, sometimes 5 years as underage women.

We really need to rethink this whole thing.
