But why? Simply saying this doesn't really make a point. I want to know why you think this and if you think this opinion is reflected in reality. When you were 16, if someone who was 18 had sex with you, do you think that person would be raping you?
Ok let me say this: By age 16, you're still in a development phase as a child. Often, you aren't always aware of all of your feelings, thoughts, emotions etc. A 16 year old girl is technically still a child.
So you can't tell me that these young teenagers can always make informed decisions about sex, both physically and emotionally.
And of course I wouldn't feel raped, especially if I agreed to have sex with an adult person. But that's not the point. The point is, as an adult person, you HAVE to know the risks. And if the law says that you're considered a rapist after a sexual interaction with a 16 year old, then of course you have to live with the consequences.
You expect guys to go out and card girls -- in a club?
See, that's your most controversial point right here. I understand that (almost) no guy will do this in a club, I really do. But let me ask you this: If, in a hypothetical case, you sleep with someone who looks like she's 18+ years old but later on, she tells you she's only 14 years old, would you still use the "You expect guys to go out and card girls --
in a club?" - excuse for your argumentation?
If you use this as justification for having sex with a 16 year old, then you could also use it for 14 year olds (or even younger)...
I mean, I know this is a difficult topic, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere!?
So that we're clear, it seems you are very much in agreement with the sentiment that having sex with a 17-year old is rape, is that right?
No, I never said that. I don't know the exact US law on this, I'm just saying that if the law says you're a rapist, you have to live with the consequences. Not really hard to understand.
And it's not about if the law is right or wrong. Again, you have to be aware that you could be in serious trouble if you sleep with said girl. And this should influence your reasoning and ultimately, your later actions.
Lol.. wow.
Okay, well.. let's start here.
In the hypothetical that you took exception to, you feel that the minor, the child, in this instance is not able to consent; in other words, they are unable to conceptualize sex and therefore unable to give permission to another to engage in sex. Is that right?
p.s.
How old are you?
Gour, why do you make it personal? Cause I don't see how this is relevant to the discussion.
But whatever, I'm 23.
