Aww, I thought you were taking a based stand that young girls are the property of their fathers and therefore consent is an irrelevant and ridiculous notion. I'm disappointed in you.
How is it stupid or a strawman? What I said is more reasonable and supported by human tradition than what you said. Their age is irrelevant. At least you finally gave some arguments for why 14 in your latest comment.
Speaking of strawmen, why do you keep mentioning age 18? Nobody else said that except 8BitArchitect who called it arbitrary. That's not the age of consent in most US states.
Again, where's the line? You say they can consent. Lots of children do things that aren't in their best interests, part of the whole idea of society is to prevent that stuff.
They already have sex with other teenagers or adults if given the chance.
And any adult taking advantage of that is a fucking creep. Just because there might be some sexual activity doesn't mean it's alright for adults to engage in that, or fucking get married to children.
I'm not making the argument for 12, though.
Why not though? What's the difference? Some twelve year olds have sex too, why shouldn't they be able to marry or whatever? See, that's what I'm talking about, where is the line? If you're saying it's fine at 14 because they have sex, why not younger?
Why is there so much of this bullshit here?
You really think fourteen year olds have the the capacity to consent to marriage and sex? They're still children.
And, if it's lowered to that, what's to stop it from going lower? If it's fine at 14, why not 12? No thanks.
