Of course I can, but do you understand that was a single , completely harmless circumstance that in no way even is a valid indicator of pedophilia at all and a huge stretch to call it child rape? Most of what is "known to be true" about me is sick fantasies projected at me by politically motivated perverts.
>single completely harmless circumstance
That right there tells me a lot. It's one thing to fuck up and regret it, it's another thing to sit and constantly try and justify it. Saying, yes I made a mistake, i used poor judgement, did something I shouldn't and genuinely regret it goes a long way.
Convincing an intoxicated girl much younger than yourself and your 'partner' into a three way was nothing but you being horny and taking advantage of a girl who was too young to understand the consequences and ramifications of her actions.
Just to base your entire reasoning on American norms when American society is fucked up by patriarchal authoritarianism and crony capitalism, makes it nonsense to the other 6 1/2 billion people on the planet. Most other societies don't stratify themselves along age lines that way. Young look up to the elders and the elders are happy to share. Master tradespeople teach the youngers.
As a person who's learned skilled trades from older men without sexual shit happening, i'm not sure that's a valid comparison.
Public assemblies are attended by people of all ages. In many, it is common for a young man to marry a girl under 16 while they're in their late 20's, though I don't disagree at all that young men who fuck multiple teens are predators. I don't call for a reduction in the AOC to enable that at all, but to enable those marriages that are culturally acceptable to various other ethnoreligious group's customs. We do not have the right under our constitution to deny them something like that.
>pedo religions should have the right to be pedos
My main reasoning for lowering it to 16 is not about sex, but enabling minors to speak for themselves when they have gotten old enough to drive and enter the work place. I think they should also be able to sign contracts and vote to at that point.
>enabling minors to speak for themselves
That's the whole thing about being a minor, they don't have the life experience to make certain decisions for themselves, no matter how mature they say they are or act.
Many queer youths, trapped in dysfunctional families, would be able to legally get clear of them, instead of killing themselves before they're 18.
An underage kid, queer or otherwise, stuck in an abusive household should have help or an option, lowering the age of consent is not the answer. I do agree though, in certain situations a 15-16 year old should be able to legally leave an abusive situation and allowed to live as an adult, again I don't think an overall lowering of the age of adulthood is the answer though.
As things are, the vast majority of child sex abuse is committed by kin or an adult trusted by the family. Most of the rest are committed by men under 30 who either were honestly fooled by a minor that they weren't jail bait or the girl was so promiscuous nobody cared until the parents turned somebody in. Tweaking the AOC a little will prevent these innocent lives from being ruined by a Lolita. The image of a skeevy character in a van preying on kids, is the least common rapist of children. To be so passionate about ostracizing me on the basis of what i "admit to" is just ludicrous and highly illegal.
Ostracizing someone is not illegal no matter how much it hurts your poor feelings. I know you very obviously were incapable of this, but having a dick comes with the responsibility of not sticking it in things you shouldn't just because you're horny. If you fail to do this, bad shit happens, that's just the way life is. You can cry about how unfair it is all you want, but that's just how she goes.
I have to ask though, why, at your age, apart from justifying your poor choices at an earlier point in time, would you care so much about the age of consent? In what way does it affect you? why are you so concerned about 16 year olds being allowed to fuck adults? Why does this actually matter to you?
