Try to guess what the blogger at The Truth Shall Set You Free, a blog that describes itself as “an examination of all issues related to comparative religion and the attempt to find truth in the world today” is talking about here. (Hint: It’s not drugs.)
“We are going to let drug dealers set up stands on every street corner, with glitzy advertising, and they will be allowed to offer their illegal drugs, for free, to anyone who walks by. But if anyone takes them up on their offer of free drugs, we will arrest the receiver and send them to prison. Even if the seller advertised a legal drug, but the receiver took an illegal one unknowingly.”
Well, I probably gave it away with the title and the illustration, but yes, he’s talking about age of consent laws. We’re back on that subject again, thanks to the inability of manosphere douchebags to stop talking about it in extremely icky ways. The “dealer” here is, of course, the underage girl. The drug in question … is also the underage girl. The unwary buyer? The poor, helpless, and outrageously oppressed male of the species. I’ll let our high-minded Christian blogger explain:
Criminalizing consensual sex with willing 16 year olds is absurd. Consent is consent.
The bias of the law is revealed by considering this: If both parties consented to breaking the law, why aren’t both parties punished? …
Uh, because the law is designed to protect underage girls and boys from older predators? Because we as a society recognize that consent is really not consent when one of the “consenting” partners is underage and the other is much older?
But no, our thoughtful student of comparative religion seems convinced that the purpose of the law is, well, I’m not sure what he thinks the purpose is other than to harsh the buzz of older men in thrall to evil, devious, conniving teenage girls.
In his mind, teen girls are the equivalent of drug dealers and older men are hapless, helpless addicts:
-The dealers (young women) are allowed to advertise (through clothes, makeup, body-language) an extremely valuable and addictive commodity (sex), and in fact, they can give it away totally free, without fear of any penalty…
–but if a customer (man) takes that heavily-advertised and freely-given valuable commodity, he is committing a felony.
And that’s the case, he complains, even if the girl lies about her age!
–even if he had no knowledge that her drug was illegal (underage), even [if] she misrepresented the commodity as legal, he is solely at fault.
–The consumer (man) is sent to prison, and forced to register as a sex offender FOR LIFE
–The dealer (young woman) is allowed to walk free to continue to entrap other potential customers of her illegal commodity.
A clearer example of the infamous “pussy pass” couldn’t not be conceived. What these laws are really doing is punishing men for girls being sluts and/or liars.
And so the oppression of men by evil women and girls continues apace. But there is, our blogger insists, a simple solution to this terrible injustice:
Punish the girls who are providing!
Clearly it is unfair to expect men to be able to resist the lures of these conniving Lolitas. We must do something to protect innocent men from underage sluts slutting it up in public!
Does this person (and i use the word loosely) seriously believe that there are droves of little girls begging older men to stick their dicks in them? Does he also seriously believe that there are droves of men would be helpless to the siren song of sex with little girls (or underage teenagers) instead of thoroughly disgusted with the thought of taking advantage of someone much younger than themselves?
I really, really, REALLY do not understand this railing against age of consent laws. It’s just disgusting
Isn’t it pretty easy to tell the difference between a 16 year old and someone older?
That photo will haunt my dreams.
Another Christian who apparently has never read the Bible. He may want to look up what his god thinks of fornicators. If he thinks age of consent laws are harsh…
Yes, and the only time it should ever matter if you can tell the difference between, say a 15 year old and an 18 year old is if you or in your early 20s. If you are 26+ wondering if that hot little number you’re hitting on is above the age of consent, YOU’RE DOIN IT WRONG.
What Shora said. If these guys weren’t so obsessed with banging the youngest chicks they could get away with banging, they wouldn’t have to worry about miscalculating and overstepping the legal bounds.
Dudes: GO FOR CHICKS YOUR OWN AGE. There. Problem solved. And if you are suddenly seized with revulsion at the idea of banging such an old hag, ask yourself why you expect women not to be seized with revulsion at the idea of banging your wrinkly ass. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Never has that proverb been so appropriate.
@Molly “That photo will haunt my dreams.”
She’s clearly Ood. One of an enslaved race whose hivemind needs freeing. So cut her some slack already.
I’m completely against girls crying rape for their own amusement, but guys seriously,
STOP HAVING SEX WITH CHILDREN!!!!
Locally we have a case where a 21 year old man was having sex with a thirteen year old girl. There were several comments in the news thread arguing that because such relationships have existed “since the beginning of time,” that obviously there was nothing wrong about it and it was terrible that this guy was going to end up in prison for doing something that was totally natural. Let me just reiterate that the girl in question was 13 years old, and he was 21.
It’s all bullshit. Seriously, all this complaining about age of consent laws is a big bunch of bullshit. I used to think there was some validity. And I fall in line with the argument so eloquently presented by Pecunium in regards to the “bright line” and its necessity. I also recognize the gray areas, that people are individuals, the inherent issues with the argument of power balances, etc., etc.
And this post is still a bunch of bullshit. The age of consent is 16 or 17 in the vast majority of the states. Lots of states have age gap provisions; some make concessions for mistake of age defenses.
So how young? Seriously, if the age of consent being as low as 16 and 17 is just so ridiculously unfair, how low does it need to be for these people?
To be more precise, the half-your-age-plus-seven rule i feel is pretty good at telling me what kind of sexual relationship can be considering inside my age range.
A little wonderment: Why dont all these poor men move to Germany? The age of consent is 14 over here with certain strings attached, 16 with less strings attached, and obviously 18 with no strings attached.
About the fake ID: Are there maybe a few good articles on the topic somewhere out there you could share with me?I havent read much about that argument. Therefore it might have been mentioned before but i remember reading of an Arab that was accused of rape because he pretended to be an Israeli? Wouldnt it be the same with fake IDs?

I read the first quote, thought “elementary schools,” and was 100% correct. Whee!
Nobinayamu,
They want no age restrictions at all.
These are the guys who want rape to be completely legal,remember?
We are supposed to just trust in the goodness of their hearts!
@Raoul Nah, Oods have tentacle-faces.
I thought he was talking about legalizing prostitution, but criminalizing the purchasing of it. I was sort of meh on that. But wow, the reality is so much more horrible!
I think most of these guys are drastically overestimating the number of 16-year-old girls who want to have sex with them, anyway.
I can understand being 16 and being attracted to an unusually friendly college-age person (not that attraction makes it okay), but when you get above 25 or so, or when you’re not exactly a charmer… not bloody likely. Most 16-year-olds really don’t have a lot of sexual fantasies about bitter middle-aged dudes.
And the “no, throw the girls in jail for seducing those innocent older men” thing is just so far beyond reason that I expect all our usual trolls will defend it anyway.
That’s an odd statement. One would be hard pressed to find anyone in favour of that.
For the record, I’m also against people false saying they were carjacked for chuckles. I’m against anyone claiming to have been murdered for the yuks. Overall, I guess I’m against anyone lying about being a victim of a crime for the lulz.
Well, it’s like in that other long ago thread with NWO. Each time someone pointed out that the age of consent is 16 or 17, he ignored it. when I told him, specifically, that he could absolutely romantically pursue 16 and 17 year old girls he ignored it. When I wrote that most young women aren’t really attracted to men out of their twenties, he told me that I was missing the point. Or something to that effect.
I think they believe that feminism is preventing the underage from seeking them out as romantic partners.
Oh, dear God that photo. You have to take a second look to realize that anything’s wrong, and then OH MY GOD IT’S COMING RIGHT AT ME!!!!
Seraph – oh fuckshit i didn’t notice that before
auuuugh
I have a few things to say: FUCK SHIT COCK ASS TITTY BONER BUTTHOLE BARBERA STREISAND!!!
Oh and stop talking about teenage girls and their evil vaginas MRAs i am getting quite sick of it!
It really puzzles me that these guys never consider that teenage girls might be dressing in ways that display their sexuality because they want to attract guys their own fucking age, and whether they’re gonna get eyeballed by some thirty-something creep is peripheral at best.
ugg that picture so creepy. *saves picture*
Oh this post is really creepy as well.
Sharculese – Yeah. I think a lot of these guys have the idea of “she looked sexy at me” when in fact she looks that way to everyone.
I also think a lot of teenage girls look “sexy” not because they’re necessarily trying to attract anyone for sex, but because they’re trying to look socially acceptable and not ugly or frumpy. Makeup, for instance, can be as much about “I think I look dumpy with no makeup” as it is about “I want to look good for the boys.”
