I agree on every point.Fragment wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 8:57 amIt's clear evidence that the personhood of minors is largely rejected by society.FairBlueLove wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2024 9:30 pm It's kind of funny... Choice n.2 didn't receive any vote, yet - assuming I understood it correctly - that reflects how we treat children in many accepted instances (school, religion...).
To be honest, even outside of sex you can see the trend away from freedom and towards safety in parenting. Look at your local playground compared to a playground in the 80s for evidence.
I think part of the problem is the decline in fertility rates. When you have 1-3 kids instead of 5-8 kids you're going to be more inclined to take a "protection" mindset over a "liberation" mindset.
MAPs obviously have a vested interest, but I think more than that MAPs try to look at things through the viewpoint of minors. We want minors to have a rich range of experiences, even if there is some risk. A danger free life is basically impossible, the important thing is that the person involved WANTS to engage in a certain behavior. That's what the results so far seem to indicate.
I think "informed consent", meaning knowing the possible ramifications, is impossible even for adults, so it doesn't make sense to use it as an excuse to prohibit minors expressing their feelings freely.Joanne7315 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 6:35 pm Many will jump in and say that Minors are unable to give informed consent to a relationship. Personally I disagree and I think they are fully capable. Minors more than adults are capable of sincere love. Physical connection is an extension of love. I believe they are capable of love.
