Ok, see, I'm confused here. Remember a couple of months ago when everyone was upset over the UN report that supposedly was making pedophelia legal?
What you're saying here is more in line with what the UN report was saying. It was concerned with things like a just turned 18 year old would be branded a pedophile or sex criminal for having sex with his still 17 year old girlfriend.
So when I tried to point that out to people, I was told that any adult having sex with anyone under 18 is a pedophile.
Now I'm being told the opposite.
my understanding is, there are different rules in different states. in new york they lowered the age of consent from 18 to 17. in new jersey they lowered it to 13(?). in some states, while the age of consent is fixed at 18, exceptions might be made considering the age of the accused. for example, minor is 16 while adult is 19. since there is less than four year gap in age, no crime. while if the adult was 21, then it would be a crime as age difference is greater than four years.
I'm pleased to tell you this board is many people with many opinions.
Obviously none of us want children sexually exploited. "throwawayforyou" is just not thinking. Some of us see the difference between a 17 and 18 year old, vs a 8 and 48 year old.
I think the outrage with the UN is possibly that they are trying to normalize it and that whatever they were doing is just a start to a "slippery slope", or those in here that protested didnt know it was relatively common sense. Regardless, fuck every one of the organizations I don't trust them.
