He said some 13 year olds may be capable of giving consent. It isn’t just about genitals forming; it’s about the maturity of the individual person.
Again, that might be a libertarian position (no age of consent laws), but I disagree with that. There’s no 13 year old capable of giving consent to have sex with an adult.
No I didn’t. I read his statement and listened to his video on FB.
I really believe this is one way some people look back on their memories of abuse and attempt to “live comfortably” with them. If the pedo who was molesting was kindly, that might lead an adult who was molested to think it was a real love relationship instead of what it was.
The first time I really thought about what had happened to me for two years of my early teens, I was in college, and I told a small group of female dorm friends. They assured me that it wasn’t molestation because I was “willing.” I wasn’t convinced so I went to a shrink and he explained to me that children can’t legally or even morally / emotionally take on the right of consent because they don’t have enough experience or wisdom to know the adult is DEAD WRONG. Kids can be easily groomed and influenced. Especially by well trained pedophiles.
I think all of the gay community responds like the select few dorm friends I confided in. If you partook without a gun to your head, it was not rape. Whoopie Goldberg thinks so too. Most gay men have an early or early-ish experience like that to look back on. Only the pedos who are mean and violent and put the kid up to hooking for him are obvious. The seductive ones get away with it because even the victim doesn’t realize until years later that they were a victim.
