Hypothetically, if this wasn't you know rape and all, its not so bad for an old man to have sex with a 13-16 yr old girl because they know what sex is and if they were willing to do it then w/e but it's illegal because its against social norms to do kids. I mean it is socially acceptable for hugh hefner who is 80 something to have 19 yo gf twins, and have sex with them etc, but shift the ages around and its a different story. W/e this was rape, I'm just sayin.
have you ever talked to a 13 year old girl?
talk to one for five minutes and tell me if they are old enough to decide if they should have sex yet
i know somebody's gonna say "there's no magical age where you become mature" but it's pretty clear that 13 is not that age
at least when it's two 13 year olds they're both on the same level of ridiculous, but when it's a 40 year old doing it (even if it's not by force), they KNOW they're taking advantage of them and the fact they still do it is a problem. 40 year olds aren't forging MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS with 13 year olds, they are just fucking them and whether it's with consent or not they are doing something terrible
on top of that you can't compare 13 and 19 at all, what is wrong with you
