As are most at that age, but how does that make it a norm everybody should follow?
Most boys like girls, but not everybody.
But really that wasn’t what I meant at all, what I was referring to was your ability to decide for yourself at the age of 16.
Which most countries find you can, and I think was pretty standard among my peers at that age too.
I find your sister and her husband’s relationship to have a disgusting origin
You are narrow minded and judgemental with a moral sense that isn’t based on reason. But instead on knee jerk reactions, and probably indoctrinated by religious prejudice. Which is why it surprises me you are not anti LGBT too?
Your response here confirms everything else I suspected from you, which is why I find it so disgusting you are upvoted.
It’s nothing but prejudice and pearl clutching. And I can tell you many countries have had experts evaluate and recommend on the age of consent, and 16 is a pretty average age to arrive at. But you apparently think you know better, based on a story where the problem is that a teacher abused her authority.
massive age gap relationships
10 years is not a massive age gap, it’s actually pretty normal. My wife is 5 years younger than me, and that’s SUPER normal.
You just cherry picked what I said so that you could continue mischaracterize what I am saying, by continuing to say I am or support thing I am not and do not, characterize a personal anecdote and direct answer to a direct question as a reasoning.
Like I explicitly gave you my reasoning and you just ignore it and say I have none.
Its especially insane that you say I was knee jerk reacting.
I took almost an hour to write that out, with intention.
It is also insane to say that my worldview is based on religious indoctrination.
To the contrary, it is largely based on a rejection of religious indoctrination.
Formalization of child marriage is one of the most horrible things that religions, or variants of them, of all kinds, all over the world, do.
But by the same logic, it can or could also be very exploitative of boys… its just that such societies that go for a child bride norm are almost always patriarchal, though i am sure many men also do not appreciate being forced into marriages.
It perpetuates a concept of women as property, not people, and normalizes and reinforces their subjugation and inherently inferior, 2nd class nature.
I struggle to comprehend the mental pretzels you must be brain bending in order to earnestly and genuinely believe all of the things you are saying, you are terrible at argumentative rhetoric and it is obvious you are being disingenuous.
You are so badly mischaracterizing what I said that I actually have to consider whether or not English is your first language, or perhaps your reading skills aren’t far beyond middle school.
Finally… yes, a larger age gap is generally much more acceptable… as the age of both partners increases.
You seem to not grasp the concept that a 25 yo and a 30 yo is pretty normal, a 40 yo and a 30 yo is… a bit weird but could work… a 35 yo and a 45 yo less weird, as they are both older…
OK that’s really enough said.

…but a 17 yo and a 27 yo is not ok.
