I'm still on the fence about statutory rape being actual rape. I get that minors can't consent, but I don't see how consent is any different between a 17 year old and an 18 year old. I get why sex with minors is immoral and illegal but I don't see the consent issue there with older teenagers, seems like they are just as capable of understanding consent as a 19 or 20 year old

kanyeshrug. i mean, i agree that there should probably be some reworking of the laws because an 18 y/o getting a permanent record/being a registered sex offender for having consensual sex with a 16 y/o doesn't make much sense to me, but. i can get how it's a sticky legal issue. i mean, you've gotta have a cut-off point somewhere. not to mention how ridiculously difficult it'd probably be to pass legislation in favor of registered sex offenders, whether what they are doing is morally reprehensible or not.

I think it should be that you can't have sex with minors if you're older than 21, but you can when you're 18-21. And that 18-21-year-olds can't have sex with people under 16. Really, makes sense right? Stops 18-21 year olds from having sex with creepily young teens, but no ridiculousness like two 17-year-old teenagers having to stop having sex when one of them turns 18 and wait until the other one turns 18 too.

(I mean really, 16- and 17-year-olds sometimes go to college and live in dorms -- they really can't have sex with their classmates if they want to?)

yeah, pretty much with you there. but for some reason, the idea of the two extremes based on that age limit (21 and 16) having sex still sounds skeevy to me, though. i'm 21 and would feel really creepy dating a 16 year old.

however, in the grand scheme of things, i don't think a 5 year age gap is weird at all, nor do i think 16 year olds having sex is weird, so it doesn't make much sense for me to feel this way. hm.

anyway, it's varying opinions like this that would definitely complicate legislation such as the reforms you're talking about. soo when you're talking legal issues that deal with a relatively tenuous factor like age you'd have to have some way to scientifically back your opinion in court, even if the opinion seems (and is) logical. know what i mean? i'm really fucking tired and kind of high so i apologize if i sound like an idiot. i just love talking about the law to a degree that both entrances and disgusts me

At those ages, a 5 year gap is still pretty big. There are huge differences between, say, a 3 year old and an 8 year old, or an 8 year old and a 13 year old, or a 13 year old and an 18 year old. There are slightly fewer differences between a 16 year old and a 21 year old, but you're still not in the equitable zone that, say, a 30 y.o. and a 35 y.o. or even a 20 and 25 y.o. would be in. Makes sense to me that way, anyway.
