Serious question:

Is this extramarital affair actually documented history?

Isn't it just some goofy thing from a movie?

You think education should end long before brains begin to work properly? 😀 😅 😂 😃 🤣

Your valiant defense of non-existent creatures aside 😂 😀 😅 🤣 you have obviously not understood the English sentence setting up the context 😃 😂 😅 😀 🤣

You're not too good at handling that logic thing, huh? : - D

A Martian is interviewing an American: "If their brains don't function until they're 25, wouldn't that be the right time to *start* their education??"

The Conventional Wisdom Is Dead Wrong

Michelle Oberman of DePaul University "drawing a connection between enforcing these laws and lowering adolescent pregnancy rates flies in the face of everything we know about why girls get pregnant and why they choose to continue their pregnancies. The problem is much more complicated than simply older men preying on younger women."

The fact that people believe in teenhood or "adolescence" is pretty amazing. Some "experts" talk about adolescence ending at age 14, others say 25 or 30. Since the concept has zero scientific basis it's impossible to prove any of them wrong (or right). Social media is full of people screaming that 19-year-olds are children, especially if they suspect one of having sex with the "wrong" person. If that were true we'd have a massive child labor problem. Right now we have about 8 million 14 to 18-year-old young adults who have been forced into a kind of unnatural artificially extended childhood. They work, drive cars, join the military, some even start families, but society insists on infantilizing them, and criminalizing their sex lives. Not to mention the segregation. Barred from bars and night clubs, they're not allowed to socialize with anyone over 21. No society has ever done this before. It's a big experiment and so far the results are horrible. Youth suicide is at record highs. Doubling down on this tragic mistake is the dumbest thing we could do right now.

Everyone I know who believes in Bitcoin is stuck in a dismal endless loop of cheerleading for a thing that nobody normal gives two shits about. From my perspective it looks like a miserable form of bondage : - D

They're having a grand old time laughing at the bitcoin freaks : - D

Teenage women are perfectly capable of telling men they're not interested in to go away. It's been happening since the beginning of time. It works better when we empower our young adults. It's worse when we infantilize them. Let's do the former not the latter. #RespectYoungAdults

I am completely calm :-)

I just made a simple comment about people minding their own business.

(forgive me, I saw nothing witty about your question. seemed like you honestly wanted our opinions. so I gave mine.)

How is it any of our business who decides to have kids and who doesn't?

100 years ago racists wanted to prove that white men have better brains than everybody else. So they measured the skulls of women, Africans, and Jews and voilà! They had "scientific" proof that everyone they hate has bad brains.

Over the last 20 years we've done exactly the same thing with teens and under 25s. We use cherry-picked junk science to "prove" that they are mentally deficient then we treat them like shit.

🔸All relationships have power imbalances.

🔸The existence of power does not equal abuse.

Some people abuse their power. Roger Ailes for example.

But that doesn't mean that when one person in a couple is smarter or stronger or richer they can't have consensual sex.

I have lived in countries where the age of consent is 15. It's really not a problem. Only the Americans are having a hysterical freakout, because they are terrified of sex.

David Moshman expressed it well:

"Claims about the relative size and merit of the brains of various sorts of people have long provided a pseudoscientific basis for oppression of women, racial minorities and others with brains deemed inferior. The case against teen brains is no stronger."

If people under 25 are irrational, clearly they can't be competent parents, and obviously someone in the last 5 thousand years of world history would have noticed it and forbade them from having kids.

but that never happened.

A: "When are human brains fully developed?"

B: "Are you asking that because you think teenagers are mentally incompetent and you want to be reassured that your vile bigotry is justified?"

There were no victims. The cops posted ads for sexual services and 46 men who made arrangements to pay for a non-existent prostitute were arrested for solicitation. There was no trafficking. The cops are bullshitting like hell and "journalists" like Kyle Griffin are parroting their propaganda.

Let's say, just for fun, that I sexualized a shoe yesterday. How would you know that I did it? How would I know that I did it? Would the shoe be different afterwards? Would I be different afterwards? Is this "sexualize" thing really a useful concept?
