This is not a good argument. Our entire system of laws is fraudulent.
What is a "woman" was only recently changed to be "18" (50 years or so?). In most of the world it still isn't 18. For most of human history (thousands and thousands of years) it was much younger. Right or wrong, it has not been "against the law" until relatively recently.
I am not supporting the actions of underage sex. I am not supporting preying on women. I am certainly not supporting anything that Maxwell or Epstein have done. I am saying using "against the law" as an argument given all we have learned about laws and our system of government is ludicrous.
The poster in question is conflating early sexual development and behavior of minors as a justification for Maxwell's crimes or trying to water down what she was participating in.
The law recognizes cognitive awareness is satisfactory at 18. In other words this is why minors can not give consent to an adult and why parents are the medical guardians of minors until they turn 18.
Without the law what we have is the wild west and everything unravels. The military is the way because they want it done by the book and through lawful and orderly means. Not vigilante justice.
The law we're talking about is statutory. It defines child, not in line with medical definitions
According to it many of our own ancestors even recently are sex offenders. Im just saying, it makes us seem like weird assholes to pretend that violating a statute is on par w podestas code parties. It's just not. That's indisputable.
The law doesn't support your argument.
So at this point here is your chance to clarify your position and view point on the trial which is about grooming minors and not adults.

The Maxwell trial is based on the current laws on the books. You have fallen for the bait set out by the poster.
They are conflating human sexual behavior and psychology with what is defined by the law.
Maxwell is on trial for violating the law by grooming minors and trafficking them.
What does this have to do with anything I said?
I addressed it explicitly.

Also it's a popular opinion here. 2 dozen upvotes
Maxwell faces 70 years in prison which is major and you keep dismissing it which tells me you don't care about the seriousness of the trial.
Also, those podesta parties are possible because of people like Maxwell.
Justice must come for all of them when they violate the law.
