Also good example of just what is acceptable in our so called culture. MSM gives stamp of approval....in our forefather's time..this was accepted , not by all but but enough....Thomas Jefferson , while in France, brought over a young black girl , Sally Hemmings, to be his daughter's servant...She was also his daughter's aunt, but that was Not socially acceptable and common knowledge. Jefferson 39, Sally 14.....his wife made him promise never to remarry....life long relationship with many children , documented by DNA. Benedict Arnold , 39 fell in love with a 16 year old...she wasn't interested but unlike Sally Hemmings had a choice. So this behavior is not new but age old within western culture ...names for it is newer.It has to stop .......and all the trappings that enable it..we need a different justice system and MSM.

Hence my comment about a need for federal age of consent.

Personally, I’m on the side of 18 being the gold standard. Seems the scientifically most reasonable choice.

think- ago

I think they should make it 16, with the restriction that when you're 16 or 17, you can only have sexual relations with persons aged 16-20, to allow relationships by people of the same age range. And people 21 years old or older could only have sexual relations to persons who are at least 18, in order to prevent pedos from exploiting younger persons.

I think they have provisions like this in some countries, and they seem to work well.
