I'd rather wait for more evidence than some random picture on a ragebait sub with ages added by someone I don't know before I call someone a pervert. 🤷♀️
Or more scary: extremely religious. That would be my first bet. Religion is a hell of a drug.
Check out the quiverfull movement for an example of that. The wikipedia version is a somewhat sterile explination, it's more than just abstaining from birth control.
In the anglosphere, yes. But if they're in Latin America It's actually legal and socially acceptable, more or less. I don't see anything that says where they're from.
I don't know how to tell you this, but you live in a cushy bubble lol. The rest of the human race may not be for you.
I understand it may look strange with our 21st century (mostly) western eyes, but the human race didn't get to be where it is by having sex between 30s and 40s humans lol.
the reason many people take issue with 16 year olds having sex with 25 year olds but not other 16 year olds is the fact that an older person can more easily manipulate a young person, within certain age ranges. it creates a power imbalance in many cases and that's what people find gross about it. it can often be very abusive and that is often the reason people pursue these relationships in the first place.
i wouldn't call it raping kids, but it is still pretty sketchy to me.
Either you're projecting or you're not emotional mature enough to handle human behavior.
Post-puberty humans worked, fought, had children. It doesn't make much sense in present day of how complicated civilization has become, and we need longer time to "bake" into society into a fully functional adult; I wouldn't be surprised if the age of adult majority go from 18 to 27 in order to maintain the higher upkeep of keeping civilization function optimally.
The opposite is true; when civilization collapses, the age of being an adult decreases, to a point as even as young as 15 as survival depends on it, you "grow" quick enough the more staying alive becomes harsher and scarce, living in strife.
That's the neat part, it's not inaccurate. Humans are still animals at the end of day, just because we can extract energy from other resources other than breathing and eating, doesn't make us special enough that we're still vulnerable to hubris and oppressing our animal side for the sake of order(a certain path of order at that) and the illusion of what it is to be civilized.
The law in any state or country that these people are from doesn't care about what you say, bud. If it's legal, it's legal. If it's illegal, it's illegal.
You might not agree with it, but if it's legal in a state, it's legal. Most places it's not, but that's a subject for a whole other conversation I really don't feel like getting into with someone like you.
People are pretty much just telling you that age of consent is somewhat arbitrary and that society dictates the age based in social structure. If the person is post-pubescent, they are biologically not a child and so it’s literally not pedophilia. If you think it is, then you just don’t know what pedophilia is.
There is nothing magical about the age of 18. States have moved closer to 18 as the age of consent because that is the age people graduate high school. There was also a social purity movement in the 1980s where Christian feminist activists advocated for an increase to 16 with a hope to bring it up to 18 and possibly 21.
I think the 18 yo age of consent is good for the U.S., but if you think it’s backwards that some states have it as low as 16, just look at the rest of the world or literally all of human history everywhere.
I think they're only explaining that this is likely more common than people realize because it isn't illegal and because it isn't illegal you can't really "do" anything about it.
I live in PA, and age of consent is 16 here. Moreover, it gets a little worse in that 13-15yos can "consent" too as long as their partner isn't more than 4 years older than them, meaning someone who is nearly an adult can legally seduce someone who has only just entered adolescence. To add a dash of hypocrisy in, teens can consent to an act that might make them a parent but they usually have to be 18 before they can make their own decisions about abortion or marriage.
It's gross and I hate it. But if confronted with a relationship like this, no amount of reporting would accomplish anything unless there's a power imbalance involved, like a teacher abusing a student.
Lol it was a dig - the joke was that I didn't wait for any evidence - just straight out called some random on reddit a pervert. Oh noeZ hoPe you don't get your panties in a twist
Uhoh your virtue signalling into the nothingness of social media didn't work out. Maybe take a print out of your comment and put it up on your fridge so everyone who comes over knows how much of a great person you are - trust me you'll feel better.
Jeez if you're so upset with someone who would have zero reason or justification to do so, calling you a pervert - well...
...tbh. if the energy the pic exudes would describe the results of teenage pregnancy, noone would take issues with US's abstinency only sexual "education"
Did not say you were. I wrote self hate. Was not even implied. You choose to see as you desire the world to be.
...how does self hate apply, when i write about the shortfalls of US experience, hwne i am not american?
Why does pointing out shortfalls of educatin system that need to be improved qualify as:
with those that think themselve superior ... as yourself ... they also tear down self and others.
...did US education system attain personhood?
Will the feelings of the education system get hurt if i dare to criticize it without putting the critique in a compliment sandwich?
...
Sane people welcome criticism of broken institutions.
As its needed for positive change.
...i have no clue why US needs to conform to North Korean standards about criticizing institutions.
I forgive you sweetheart 😍
...are you aiming for the "Least insance opression olympics winner" award?
Forgive me for what?
For the major faux pas of pointing out fault with broken institutions so they could be improved upon?
For not being american and daring to exist?
For not being a good target for your ad hominem bullshit?
Yeah then -9 months for the baby to actually hum grow. So if she was 16 when she had the kid that means she was probably under age you have a 3 month window and I doubt she was in that window before hand.
Oh for sure, it’s still very weird. I’m going on 22 and even I wouldn’t date someone younger than the US drinking age. Totally different stages in life. I’m just saying it’s not always statutory rape lol
