Your post was a joke about arbitrary aged of consent laws, right? Even so why sully an insightful and riveting yarn with irrelevant crap? In case it is not a joke I’ll respond as if you were serious. At this stage that is easier than discussing the shifting dynamics in homosexual relationships and the convenient amnesia that many gay men embrace; which appeared more to be what Sick Rose’s post was about. So to your; “On whether a 26 yo guy having romantic relations with a 13 yo girl should be illegal based on the potential for abuse, I say yes.” When a base belief is flawed there is not much point building wacky proposals upon it. Can you have a better go at explaining why it should be illegal for 13 year old girls to have romantic relations with 26 year old men? Your only reason so far is “the potential for abuse.” The “ potential for abuse” exists in every relationship regardless of age and gender. |
