    Depends on whether you’re talking about rape as a legal definition or a violation of a universal understanding of consent.

    It obviously doesn’t make sense that having sex with a 17 year old in one state isn’t rape when it would be in a different state, but that is the law. A bad one.

      Doesn’t the fact that you recognize the law varies from state to state kind of disprove your claim of “universal understanding”?

        1: Tell me more about how you want to fuck teenagers

        2: It’s very clearly a hypothetical being advanced to make the reader consider exactly that the belief isn’t universal

          I won’t lie. I see plenty of underage women that I find physically attractive. I find it hard to believe any man has never seen a minor that they find physically attractive. However, there are few I find intellectually or emotionally attractive… and precisely zero I would actually have sex with.

          I don’t see what that has to do with the law or your claim it’s universally accepted that having sex with someone under 18 is rape.

          I don’t follow point 2. The only way I can interpret it is that you are saying your point was actually the opposite of your point.
