yeah, I've known this for a long time.
On Reddit, for instance, I saw a discussion in /politics (by many, many users at the time) about why a 13 year old can still be just as mature and smart as someone over 18.
I'm in my mid 30s and the only reason anyone would say this is if they are close to that age or they want to have sex with someone that age (and justify it).
- corin_ 11y agoI disagree (and for the record, not because I want to have sex with someone that age.) A 13 year old can be just as mature and smart as someone 18+, the reason the law exists is because it isn't the case nearly all of the time, and there's no simple way of judging on a case by case situation, so it's better to protect the 99(.9?)% of 13 year olds who need protecting. This doesn't justify any adult having sex with a 13 year old, regardless.
- bobby_9x 11y agoHow old are you? I only ask because a 13 year old cannot possibly have the experience, knowedge, or wisdom to be as smart as an average 18 year old. Unless of course, the 18 year old is really stupid or has some sort of disability.
