You say that though. Even leaving aside the fact that this allows for all sorts of gross wrongs, like incest between adults, your motivation for limiting it to adults is likely that you think children cannot consent.
But we're dealing with people who think 9 year olds are able to consent to being trooned and getting drugs to chemically castrated sex offenders. Is this really the world in which we want to introduce the idea that consent and the ability to consent is all that matters?
Truth of the matter is that 'consent' is an empty standard.
Tony and the Elephant simply hijacked your comment to argue a theoretical. I wouldn't take it personally. On this topic you guys haven't said anything contradictory.
I'm glad you don't need to worry. But you do posit a standard which would allow for that. Don't you see that someone would then point out that this standard may then not be the be all and end all?
Are you calling me a 'rape apologist', or was this unfortunate phrasing?
The whole point is that it is necessary but definitely not sufficient.
Also, I don't disapprove of DiCaprio here. I'm just objecting to 'consent-only', which opens the floodgates for all sorts of filth.
