@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg I spent many years in Europe, and I still speak regularly with many of my friends from there. It was and is a valuable research platform. I wrote a thread about it:

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg "Yeah age gaps are worse than polonium poisonings.

Our local high school slut fucked five of her classmates and everything was fine, but one day, she shagged a 25 year old and MY GOD!!, the trauma!!"

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Germany is no exception either, all across Europe, 500 million people trust their 16 year olds to be able to tell a creep to buzz off.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg In Germany the age of consent is 14 years old.

So that's 80 million Germans who have no problem with 16 year olds choosing their own partners.

If you have evidence that the German laws cause harm, then present it. We will go to Berlin and make them change their laws.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg but that could easily be true if her boyfriend was the same age as, or younger than her. Age gaps are not the only source of bad relationships. Teenagers can be just as shitty to each other as anyone else can.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Let's try to understand why it’s inappropriate.

Please present your evidence that a relationship with an age gap like that is inherently harmful.

I'll wait.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Come on. After our very long history of very dumb and often outright evil laws...

Legal does not equal moral. Nor does illegal equal immoral.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Why would you deny a 16 year old the right to choose their own partner?

@extraordizaki @rmartinez7082 @zachsilberberg LOL

That tweet is just too stupid to respond to.

You may think you are "protecting" them by infantilizing them and robbing them of agency, but in fact you are causing enormous harm.

It's extremely insulting to be told you were taken advantage of by someone who wasn't there, and knows nothing about the relationship.

But Americans are determined to demean and degrade their young adults as much as possible. https://t.co/Nk4j7LWClA

@extraordizaki @rmartinez7082 @zachsilberberg I never said anything of the sort.

Strawman much?

@thatwimpydeer @ManTweetie I'm a woman who is being gaslit by @thatwimpydeer

She denies me agency, pretends that I was the victim of a pedophile, despite the fact that I was fully grown and totally aware of what I was doing. (I was 17 btw, much too old for any pedophile)

but Maya ignores my concerns.

@thatwimpydeer If you are really worried about pedophiles, look the word up in a dictionary.

@thatwimpydeer You really believe that it is totally fine for 16 year olds to quit school, get married, work as garbagemen (a dangerous job), drive cars...

...but they are totally incapable of choosing their own romantic partners? 😀😀😀

You are such a ridiculous clown.

Replying to https://twitter.com/thatwimpydeer/status/1353417196785913857:

@thatwimpydeer So if you believe that I am a victim, you have to believe me, right?

Why are you denying me agency? I have a right to be heard. I have a right to be believed.

@thatwimpydeer Some of the teenage men I went to high school with had full beards. They were underage men. The idea that there cannot be underage women is absurd. Of course there are. We see them every day in fact. The cognitive dissonance required to...

there are no words.

@thatwimpydeer They join the army ffs.

the idea that they are children is ludicrous.

Do you hire a babysitter for your 17 year old sons and daughters? Maybe not you personally but all your friends and relatives do, right? 😀😀😀😀
