I agree with you! If the adult in question truly cares about the teen, they can wait a year or two. I know it can be hard to suppress your feelings when you're pining for someone, but it the long run, it's much better to have the adults hold back for a few years and protect lots of other teens from being exploited.
I am totally for (reasonable) age of consent laws. I do think that some reform is needed sometimes because a lot of age of consent laws are biased in a sexist and hetero-normative nature (ie. for example in some places age of consent only applies to older man/teen girl, older man/teen male; and older woman/teen male, and older women/teen female are ignored). That being said, I would never argue to get rid of them completely. I just want reform where it's needed.

Aside for the unfair age of consent laws, my main issues is with the societal stigmas, and unfair assumptions made toward teen/adult relationships, even when they are legal (where I live, I am in a legal relationship due to the fact I have parental consent). My main issues are:
a) double-standards; people who accept adult female/teen female or adult female/teen male and shame adult male/teen male or adult male/teen female.
b) people who cry "pedophilia", even though both parties are sexually mature- I feel this trivializes real pedophilia
c) people who tell me I've been raped and that I'm victim when I'm not, and try to silence my voice and my agency- it's clear that they care more about forwarding their own agenda and beliefs, than the 'victim', since they can't even be bothered to listen to what I have to say

Thanks for the great response. I really appreciate your input.

I completely agree with reform where needed, especially in regards to double standards and senseless witch hunts. Teenagers are not the same as children and also not the same as adults, they shouldn't be shoved into either category because it's easier than addressing the unique nature of their issues. Thank you for your perspective!

That's exactly it really. Admittedly, any times I have exclaimed that "I'm an adult", but rather I was trying to say, now that I think of it, is that I'm not child.
It's been a great discussion, that thanks again.
