It is already accepted 16 year olds have sex and we are ok with that as a society. So why not 15, 14, etc.
Dude, my aunt and uncle got married at 14 and 17 respectively. They have been married for over 65 years.
There you go, help in making the argument for it.
Someone can simply poin to this right here. Why not 13, 12, 11, etc.
I've read where children are maturing sexually at ever younger ages now. If science proves the average 12, 13 or 14 year old is capable of consent why shouldn't pedophils enjoy the same rights to persue their sexual urges with consenting partners as heterosexuals and homosexuals do?
Sure, why not?
You are speaking in absurdities. Consent is not a natural law but highly subjective (even to what the word entails) and depends on what a person values. Additionally, what is true for one person is not necessarily true of another one. Thus, your hypothetical is absurd.
If one has the ability to consent, why would you limit their rights?
Who 40 years ago thought gay marriage would be legalized in their lifetime?
This has been discussed and ignored.
Lmfao! I love how you compare the two as if they are one. "Because two consenting adults of the same sex can now get married, then clearly grown men will be able to lawfully marry young boys next".
Is this just wishful thinking on your part, or are you truly incapable of seeing the difference here?
I'm not comparing the two. The consenting adults is what keeps getting brought up, and I agree all sex must be consenting.
What almost no one will answer is what will you support if the age of consent is lowered?
Why is that so hard for people who believe in individual freedom answer?
