@silas_trace @daphneblake @vennmorwendian Human make up all kinds of stupid laws. That has no bearing on what is and isn't abusive. Arbitrary age limits do more harm than good.

@darren98_99 @daphneblake @vennmorwendian What do you mean by "young girls"?

@darren98_99 @daphneblake @vennmorwendian Some countries have a reasonable age of consent and some don't.

As a society the United States really needs to face reality and reach a reality based consensus on how to treat her young adults.

@vennmorwendian @JiFiNii1 @Debbie68Fbpe @daphneblake If you try really hard you can make a case that 14 year olds are adolescents.

But 15 year olds are not children by any stretch of the imagination.

Young adults are not by nature vulnerable. We make them vulnerable by withholding information, keeping them ignorant, lying to them, and infantilizing them. 15 year olds are not children. We need to help them when they are 11-14 to get ready for life in an adult body.

If she had grown up in Europe she would have known she was a young woman at 15 and desirable as such and she would have been annoyed by the attention or maybe flattered by it, but she never would have thought it abnormal or sick. She certainly wouldn't have been "preyed upon"

Here's the problem in a nutshell. Debbie was raised to believe that at 15 years old she was a child. Therefore unable to make her own choices about sex. Her body was adult and men noticed her, but society had left her totally unprepared for that totally normal situation.

@LadyNakanoT @tickticktimer @daphneblake @vennmorwendian Surefire way to have a healthy discussion. Accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being a pedophile.

Congratulations

@mmamadman87 @daphneblake @vennmorwendian Can you show me evidence of harm?

15 year olds are not children.

15 year olds are perfectly capable of telling a creep to fuck off. If society is raising them to be helpless fools who need the police to protect them from life then society is failing. https://t.co/CgB5NU4Vlf

@vennmorwendian @JiFiNii1 @Debbie68Fbpe @daphneblake Nope.

and infantilizing them causes the very harm that you claim you're trying to prevent.

We need to respect our young people enough to tell them the truth about their bodies and their sexuality. Not doing so leaves them vulnerable to molesters. Idiots like Debbie Bruce who think the answer is to infantilize them, only exacerbate the problem.

You know what the best defense against being exploited is?

Information. Knowledge. Being honest with our young people about sex is BY FAR the best way to prevent abuse. Comprehensive sex education both formal and informal is absolutely necessary. https://t.co/bpeO0ueQjL

@daphneblake @vennmorwendian The NHS says that most people finish puberty around 14 years of age.

As to how fast people mature mentally and socially, it depends a lot on the place they grow up in. If your society constantly tells you you're a stupid immature irresponsible child, you'll probably be one.
