I had a 14 year old girlfriend when I was, you know, 14. It would be pretty weird now though.
You are talking about two minors, I'm talking about two consenting adults.
That wasn't what I said at all. The point was addressing your statement "If it’s something wrong, then it’s wrong for everyone, not just an age bracket. Otherwise it’s ageism." Dating a 14 year old girl was fine when I was 14, but as a 40 year old, it is very widely considered not. To expand on that, many people would cast a well-deserved side eye on a 44 year old dating an 18 year old,. regardless of legal status.
40/14 is illegal in most parts of the world. 44/18 is not illegal anywhere and the last part of your comment is prejudice.
Amazingly, I am aware of that. Whether it is legal or not is not the same thing as whether it is moral. And yes, I am entitled to my own opinions. 40/18 is just as fucked up as 40/14 in my view, and if you don't like my opinion, good for you - that's your opinion.
You can't have a society based on morals and you can't impose your morals on others. Still I respect your morals as long as you keep them to yourself and to regulate your behavior. It's ok not to date 18 yo if you are 40 based on your morals. It's not ok to bullie 40 year olds and 18 year olds when they mutually agree to date between them.
Okay, so just a reminder that was a discussion about age discrimination.
What do you think laws which forbid a 40 year old from dating a 14 year do? That’s society imposing their morals on others. They won’t just “bullie” you, they’ll imprison you.
