Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it's possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been "it's illegal" when I've said time and time again I'm not referring to the law.
Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you're delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.
I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.
It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that's just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it's illegal.
Okay. Have a nice day.
