1	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. There is a difference between being attracted to children and being attracted to girls who physically look like women. In general, I think that basing legal standards on age is bound to create problems, but I also recognize that there is little other choice if such standards are to be enforced at all. Ideally, I would want puberty to be the deciding factor, the physical desire and capability, but how do you quantify such a thing? I still stand by the idea that sex with a 13 year old is not inher…	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 03:35 AM
1	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. Then most definitely. Children were often treated as mini-adults in older times, completely ignored as developing minds. They basically had to try to assume responsibility, or else get branded a moron. But, is that forced growing up healthy? I would argue that allowing children to make their own mistakes and choices teaches far more than anything else can.	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 03:28 AM
2	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. And yet, the concept of anyone actually having sex is still seen as a terrible thing, some kind of taboo, particularly in regards to teenagers. I'm not saying that there isn't conflicting signals, but the concept of sex as being something dirty is still quite prevalent amongst most mainstream America. And I never said it wasn't setting a precedence. I just don't think that it's necessarily a bad precedence. While I'm usually against lowering standards, in this case I'm not convinced that the hig…	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 03:27 AM
2	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. The concept of "growing up" is itself a modern concept. It's not necessarily applicable.	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 02:20 AM
2	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. It's not a common encouragement, but it does exist. In particular, there is a line of thought which states that high-population countries which are rising in power, IE China, will have greater control over global powers by sheer numbers soon, and that first world countries need to start populating themselves more to reach a level playing field. Not saying I agree, just that the viewpoint exists. As for society's impact... yes, any cultural group will influence the minds and actions of those with…	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 02:18 AM
1	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. I actually do sort of remember a story like that, but only a vague recollection of it. Hm, I'll see if I can find it. Maybe according to the law, but the law is not the be-all end-all. In fact, there's a natural duty of all Americans to specifically call out negative laws and abolish them. In this case, where the two were both consenting, mental health of the girl notwithstanding, I don't see a reason for jail time. If he goes out and keeps having sex with underaged girls? Maybe there's a proble…	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 02:10 AM
3	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. Not entirely. You say that pumping out babies was needed in older times, but even now it's encouraged in some places. Further, I don't really think sex is caused by over-sexualization. Pretty much everywhere in the world, first-world, third-world, what-have-you, people have sex. Kids hit puberty and BAM, sex is just a natural thought. There's ample evidence for this.	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 12:03 AM
1	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. I've never heard that the guardians must consent in the US, and I can't seem to find anything for that online. I know there is the issue of consent of guardians for marriage under 18, but that's different. The age of consent laws are normally enough.	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 12:00 AM
1	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. Yeah, but even still, if the difference between consent and no-consent is only a year, then it's not like anything would have been that different if she was just a tiny bit older. Doesn't seem too poignant a difference to me.	/r/MensRights	17/03/14 10:32 PM
3	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. Yeah, a pretty common occurrence.	/r/MensRights	17/03/14 10:31 PM
2	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. Lots of people, if they stray into other states. That's why they have those cards for your wallet that detail the different laws.	/r/MensRights	17/03/14 10:16 PM
2	Hold everything. Something sensible just happened. This must be stopped at once. That's technically a true fact, but a major misnomer. The average life expectancy is always pushed down by infant mortality, whereas those who survive past that often live until their 50s or older. So, again, your statement is technically true, but grossly misleading.	/r/MensRights	17/03/14 10:14 PM
