Americans can now effectively say "Teenagers are mentally retarded. So of course we have to treat them like toddlers."
They hide the notion behind language like "power imbalance" and "lack of mental development"

Lack of mental development? This clown thinks that young adults have a lack of mental development. That is demeaning and disgusting. There is zero evidence of that. But Americans today will use any excuse to infantilize their youth. Americans really hate teenagers. https://t.co/qeeFf83s0h

They need no special legal "protection". In fact laws governing their romantic ties almost always boomerang and harm the very people they purport to protect.

Science conclusively disproved "undeveloped brains" bullshit over a decade ago.
