“Statutory rape of a boy = ok”
Do you understand what the word “Statutory” means? It just means there is a law. Laws are not always right.
15 year old boys are RARELY a “victim” when it comes to having sex with a female even if she is over 18 years old.
The law says different, but sometimes laws tend to be stupid.
And BTW, yes it IS wrong for a 23 year old male to have sex with a 15 year old girl.
In case you haven’t noticed, boys and girls are different.
Do I think it is appropriate for a 15 year old to be engaging in such behavior? No I do not. If he were MY son he would be in a world of trouble. But this is a moral issue. It shouldn’t be a legal issue. In this case the 15 year old is just as guilty of immoral behavior as the 23 year old (unless the 15 year old is mentally or developmentally handicapped in some way). So why does SHE go to jail and he does not? Makes no sense at all.
I understand why there are age of consent laws. The problem with them is that they do not take all the circumstances into consideration. They set an arbitrary number and that is it.
Should 15 year olds be allowed to vote?
To drink?
To buy weapons?
To run for president?
Why not...the law is just a number.
Perhaps 10 year olds should drive?
And why are all these things bad ideas? Because they’re not mature enough for the responsibility.
Kind of like having your adult aunt come on to you. Or any older woman.
But hey, 15 year olds are wise in the ways of love. Just like voting, drinking, and driving.
By the way, a 23 year old man having sex with a 15 year old girl (his wife) would have been a lot more common in our past than the other way around.
So it seems despite your yearning for the old ways, you’ve got it exactly backwards.
Then there’s the whole incest aspect, which is also illegal. And most people find it fairly repugnant.
Gee, I always heard females say they “mature” 2 years, at least, ahead of males, yet, you say a 15 year old is a little girl but a young man. It is disturbing to hear a supposed adult say such a thing. Liberals use such reasoning and statements as you. Children are not sex objects, male or female.
“15 year old boys are RARELY a “victim” when it comes to having sex with a female even if she is over 18 years old.”
So, ah, say that 23 year old “woman” gets preggers. Just how is that 15 year old going to stand up to the responsibility of being the dad? I guess your liberal ways only think of “Do it if it feels good” and not the real legal issue involved.
That 23 year old adult is attempting to engage a minor in legal responsibilties such as parenting that he cannot accept and his parent most likely will not accept. This is why we have laws protecting minors from predatory adults, male or female.
