@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg I have addressed this many times. When there is evidence of harm, danger, damages, then absolutely, let's talk. Until then your just wallowing in neo-Puritan hysteria.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Real comprehensive sex ed informs them that they are biologically adults. Real comprehensive sex ed is by far the best way to reduce STDs and teen pregnancies.

Infantilizing young people and forbidding them to have sex always has negative impact.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Admitting to 14 year olds who can get pregnant (or get smby else pregnant) that they are young adults goes a long way toward helping them make good choices about when, where, how and with whom to have sex.

4)

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg The fact is that when you are honest with your children, adolescents, and young adults about sex, and what is happening with their bodies, they are much better informed and make much better decisions.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Funny how a very sexy almost promiscuous nation like Holland has some of the lowest STD and teen pregnancy numbers in the world. How on earth do they do that?

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg I am in favor of lowering the voting age.

Do you know why the State of Mississippi has one of the highest rates of STDs and teen pregnancy in the nation? While Vermont has one of the lowest?

@brazen_unicorn @Vampyr_Hunter @GibranStormcrow @IckyVickyEww @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Here's a question:

If no one was harmed, was it abuse?

When you label everything abuse there will be many examples of time when it is really not bad, because it was never abuse in the first place.

People really need to stop abusing the word abuse. https://t.co/oHu0oqev34

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Do you live in a state that lets 16 year olds quit school, drive cars, work full time jobs, get paid to babysit? a state that tries them as adults? or one of the many states that lets them get married?

Why do you fight to deny them agency ONLY when it comes to sex?

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Yes, in my state my right to buy dynamite has been legally restricted. There is good reason for that.

But a person's intimate life does not need to be regulated by laws. That is a basic human freedom. If we ever take that freedom away we need a damned good reason.

6)

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg In many countries you have to be 18 to buy fireworks. But in those same countries you can't buy dynamite at any age. Dynamite is only for those with a special license. Because danger.

5)

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Remember that alcohol and tobacco have been proven to be dangerous. 16 year olds having sex has historically been very normal and never considered dangerous. Until some sort of danger is shown it's kind of ridiculous to claim it should be forbidden by law.

4)

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg and basically, yes. I think that 16 year olds should be allowed to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and weed, and vote.

The fact that so many otherwise very sensible nations have set those ages at 18 however, makes me willing to consider arguments that 18 is better than 16.

3)

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg when considering at what age to set a legal limit for things, we should consider the danger involved.

Joining the army is WAY bigger and more dangerous than drinking beer. So the beer age should be lower than the enlistment age.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg because maturity varies by individual there will always be some who could handle much more personal responsibility but are not allowed the freedom to do that because many of their peers are behind them.

@brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Just in the last month dozens of people have literally written to me that anyone under 25 has an undeveloped brain and is not competent to decide who to have sex with on their own. This is not a straw man. These are real people spreading nonsense.

@GibranStormcrow neo-Puritanism will not be identical to Puritanism

just like the neolithic wasn't the same as the paleolithic
