you believe children should be able to give sexual consent to adults?
The Russians in Ukraine think so.
I believe we need to stop being so ambiguous. The term children can be applied to -anyone-, as everyone is the child of their parents.
In terms of the age of consent, the age of consent in the U.S. varies from 16 to 18, with various close in age exceptions:

The age of consent in the world varies from being married (which is not an age of consent at all) to 21 in Bahrain:

Furthermore, I find it unfortunate that so little attention is paid to the issue of -informed- consent. I think that ideally, whether one can consent would be tied to whether or not someone is informed enough to do so in a healthy manner. This in turn could perhaps lead to some sort of certification of being informed, akin to needing a driver's license to drive. Another issue is the fact that while some acts could clearly be considered sexual, such as sex, others are highly ambiguous. Kisses and caresses can be good examples.
I also strongly believe that minors should receive comprehensive education not just on how babies are made, which is predominantly what I learned in sex ed.
I certainly think it's fair to warn of the dangers of sexual interactions, which I've come to believe is predominantly unwanted pregnancies and societal repercussions in starting sexual activities early in life, especially if one is below the age of consent and/or considering in a sexual activity with someone who is below the age of consent. Naturally, this means that every minor should be informed of the laws concerning the age of consent in their jurisdiction. I also think that it's crucial for minors to learn is how to engage in sexual healthy relationships once one is legally able to do so.
Finally, I think that l learning of sexual diversity (LQGBTQ) early is beneficial, especially for those who find themselves to be in that spectrum. I've made it clear in other posts that I have strong reservations of very young people undergoing surgery for sex changes. Fortunately, in general, transitioning isn't allowed until one is 18 years of age. According to an abc articled I just skimmed, around 1% of trans people regret their decision, but if they're an adult I think they should be allowed to make this choice, just as adults are allowed to make many dangerous choices in life.

circular argument word game dumm dum sauce.
I had hoped that we could have an intelligent discussion on the subject of sexuality in relation to minors. I'm beginning to think this isn't going to be possible with you.

you believe in children being able to give sexual consent to an adult. i do not.
let's put it to a vote.

Sex with minors is immoral since it's taking advantage of undeveloped minds, people who can't rationally consent. I see no difference between pedos and those who have sex with animals or the mentally retarded.
Again, the term children is ambiguous, as everyone is a child of their parents. This is why I use the term minors, which is much more specific- most if not all people define it as being under the age of 18. As to whether or not -minors- should be able to legally consent, I'd still say that the question is far too broad to be answered by a yes or no. The U.S. agrees, with the age of consent varying between 16 and 18, depending on what state you're in, to say nothing of the close in age exceptions. The world at large agrees as well, with the age of consent going from simply being married (so no age limit at all) to 21 in Bahrain.
Many U.S. states, as well as other countries disagree with you to some extent, or the age of consent would uniformly be 18, instead of the 16-18 range in the U.S. and the much wide range in the world. On the other side, there's at least one country, Bahrain, that believes that people shouldn't be able to legally consent until they're 21. As I've mentioned previously, I think the most important thing is that people are informed and autonomous enough to make healthy sexual decisions. States and countries can and do come up with their own conclusions as to what the age of consent and any other factors should be.
Thanks for affirming my point.
Do you think determining a person's ability to make "informed and autonomous" decisions should have an emotional basis, such as culture, or a rational basis such as scientific analysis?

you're on team globalist destruction of america, dum dum.
Is that why I continue to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, while you support a white supremacist ideology that hates Jews and African-Americans, Patsy?

Care to wager whether I can prove it by quoting some of your numerous racist and antisemitic posts, Patsy?
