Should a female get as much jail time as a male would for having sex with a 13 year old student? | 39 comments (39 topical, 0 hidden)
Biologically 13 May Be Natural (none / 0)
Surprised to say, but they're way off. The laws need to change. 18 is arbitrary. 17 would be arbitrary. We need to balance protecting a minor with protecting the rights of a minor.

Does a 16 y/o have the right to have sex w/ an adult w/o fear of reprisal against their partner from the state? I think yes...of cooooourse.

18 is a modern Western societal bright line, not a real one. Biologically, we are adults (defined as capable of reproducing) after puberty. That's it.
