MODERATORS
The yuck part is that children under 18 are legally defined as not having full reasoning and consent capabilities.
So, I wasn't saying all work is rape, that's silly and foolish to think.
I'm saying your assertion that teens should have adult independence to make adult choices without laws and support is yuck.
"They don't understand" is literally my point. They CANT
If you're saying teens can consent in the same way adults can, that is yuck. And that is wrong. (For clarity, you need to consent to a working relationship for it to be healthy.)
Never said anything about healthy. I have consented to a lot of “relationships” that weren’t healthy for a healthy relationship.
I agree with most of what you said though
It sounds like you are using a legal framework from medical treatment of minors. If I have that right, then you should know that there is an exception for emancipated people under 18 years of age.
Would you support the same exception for work, now that you know this or perhaps you would also eliminate this exception for them to control their own bodies in a medical context?
