The idea that a 18 year old can handle decisions like joining the army or starting a family,
but can't be allowed to do dangerous things like drink a beer or have sex with a MILF
is stupid beyond belief.

I live in a country that had a MASSIVE HYSTERICAL MELTDOWN over a 1/2 second glimpse of one of Janet Jackson's boobs.
Americans wig out over the slightest sexual "danger".
THAT is fucking weirdo behavior.

Let's say, just for fun, that I sexualized a shoe yesterday.
How would you know that I did it? How would I know that I did it? Would the shoe be different afterwards? Would I be different afterwards?
Is this "sexualize" thing really a useful concept?

A: 16 year olds can't consent, so it's rape.
B: I had sex when I was 16 and it wasn't rape.
A: Yeah, there are Romeo and Juliet laws.
B: So 16 year olds can consent.
A: Oh, fuck.

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

a 20-year-old can't be a stripper in Texas because she is "underage"
but if you wanna drive a car in Texas at 16 you're not underage
we ought to stop pretending the term "underage" actually means something

Our society utterly fails to prepare girls for becoming women. We are in deep denial. We don't talk about these things. Then everyone feels incredible shame about normal healthy development. It's pure dysfunction. How can we be so fucking bad at this?

Soledad O'Brien praised a company for firing a man for being creepy. OK.
So to be fair all people who seem creepy should be fired from all jobs, right?
What is the objective criteria for creepiness that shows the line between odd behavior and fire-able "creepiness"?

Brain study is a cute hobby, but it's about as useful as collecting stamps. We have written records of thousands of years of young adults aged 14-18 doing just fine anytime they were given the chance.

How much would you bet that there is no "trafficking" ring at all? What are the odds that there aren't even any children in this story? How likely is it that there were some cops on-line pretending to be teenagers, tricking some lonely men into typing "Yeah, I'd like to see your nude selfies."?

If it's lawnmowers, guns, or microwave ovens people who get them need to learn to use them safely.
It's no different with bodies that can get pregnant or catch STDs.

When I was 17 my boyfriend was 23.
So assholes like Phil Mitchell think they have the right to tell me I am a victim of child rape.
Well, Phil, fuck off.

It's disturbing that in our society that EVERYBODY is ALWAYS accusing all their enemies of pedophilia, but NOBODY has even bothered to take 5 minutes to learn what the word means.

So if someone asks, or you're about to ask "Are you okay with X or Y?"
figure out if the question means
"do you think X is gross?"
or "do you think X is harmful?"
is the question about the emotional or about the rational?

minor =/= child
puberty ends your childhood between 9 and 13 years of age.
laws decide when you stop being a minor.
There is no relationship between these two things.

When I was 17 my boyfriend was 23 and everything was fine.
It is shocking AF that today he could, in some states, get prison time for making love to me.
