Look, I know your knee is jerking with this reaction. You're a woman, emotions get tied up. I get it. I understand. But just try to think logically about this one.
Are men and women equal? Do we have equal rights? Yes or no? Okay.
Okay well, can a woman choose what to do with her own body? Yes? Can she have an abortion if she wants one? Yes?
Well then why the hell can she not have sex?
Because of some socially determined age that is so taboo? That's all? Really? That's it?
Women have won the right the vote, did they not? They can serve in the military. They are EQUAL to men now.
So I believe our laws ought to reflect that.
If men and women are not equal, that's sexist. By definition it is.
At 13, I remember talking with my buddies and just bantering about pounding out my 2nd period teacher. We were 13 mind you. If I at 13 had of screwed my 2nd period teacher; I would have been held up by my friends as a hotshot. A big shot.
But if you change the genders, now we all cry monster. Why? Because man. That's why. Man. It's just anti-male bull****. It's a carry over from an era when women were seen as pure special little snowflakes who couldn't have sex with a Chinaman, a black man or a Native American or else she was "raped". You had to guard her honor etc.
Don't women mature faster than men?
Hmm.
I never said it was okay for someone over 18 to go out and **** a 5 year old, that's NOT what i'm saying.
If you want to see an 18 year old senior dating a 15 year old sophomore as a pedophile, then so be it. But you are indeed on the wrong side of history on this one.
You of all people should understand and know what love is. You're a woman! Love has no boundaries, it knows nothing. It just feels.
These laws are a carry over from a time when women didn't have many rights, they did NOT have control over their own bodies. So why do we have laws like this on the books today in a so called modern age?
They can have an abortion.. but they can't have sex even after they hit puberty?
Isn't this a little.. backwards.
All people want to protect their child, I get that. I'd beat someone w/ a wiffle ball bat if he touched my 5 or 8 year old. But 15 or 16? Well. Things are different. Times have changed, people mature, people hit puberty and they know and understand sex now.
Saying women cannot consent to sex is saying they aren't smart enough or mature enough; which is dis-empowering and archaic. Is it not?
To conclude, how do you retort?
