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!
We should make a site of NWO quotes from this and the other thread xD And set it up to make it seem like he’s a super extreme radical feminist male or something xD
NWOslave! the craziest feminist male you’ll ever see!
i wonder if we could get the extreme MRAs to bite… xD
“Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman’s bottom? That’s right, we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harrassing that woman. ”
Homer or NWO: you make the call.
Hey, everyone, look, I’m an MRA!
“nurmy nurmy noo, yum i like to eat poop, noodly doodly doo, my favorite food is poop.”
…does everyone have a better understanding of, and sympathy for, feminist causes now?
I wonder if we actually took his quotes and beliefs he’s “espousing” here… and like… kinda incorporated them into a site like that..or into a poe… could we get NWO to argue w/ himself in the future? xD
That would be HILARIOUS xD
NWO arguing w/ WAYYY out there straw feminist NWO xD
i think he’d actually be happier argiung w/ fake him xD
I can’t remember any adult male ever getting arrested for talking to me when I was 15. Or 14. Or 16. Or 17. Including the really creepy guy who tried hitting on me in a coffee shop – he was mid-twenties, I was a high school sophomore. He did it in front of a cop, too, one who knew how old I was because he’d done an anti-drug program at my school. Amazingly, still not arrested.
@Graham
Report away,
I’ve seen the light.
Men need to earn a womans affection.
Men need to earn a womans trust.
Men need to listen to women.
Women have sexual agency and can flaunt their sexuality in front of 15 year old boys, if the boys get aroused, they need to be taught not to view women as sexual objects. If that means slapping them down, so be it. A woman can use her sexuality any way she wishes, she has sexual agency.
A man should never talk sexually to a 15 year old girl, he should learn to control his sexuality, lest he be placed on the register for talking and acting sexually to a 15 year old girl.
NWO, I really wish David would ban you.
You don’t say what you mean.
You don’t say what any other human being on Earth believes, either.
What I can gather of your beliefs is some unbelievably disgusting mixture of “women shouldn’t think men are rapists, but it’s okay if women get raped, but they probably made it up anyway, also 15-year-old girls are sexy.”
And you just. won’t. stop.
@Victoria von Syrus
And rightfully you should have viewed him as creepy. Men wanting sex is always creepy. What is with men and their privilege. When a woman wants sex it’s so pure and giving, with men it’s always creepy.
What I find sad is that NWOslave thinks that “Men need to earn a woman’s affection/trust” is an over the top, satirical statement. I can’t imagine being the sort of person who goes through life thinking that’s a ridiculous demand or evidence of male oppression.
Everyone, man or woman, needs to earn the affections of the person they desire.
Everyone, man or woman, needs to earn the trust of the person they desire.
Men and women need to listen to each other.
Sexual desire and arousal are not the same as sexual objectification. You may be too stupid to understand the difference but most people aren’t. Men and women both have sexual agency.
Ephebophiles can desire young teenage girls -or boys- to their heart’s content. They just can’t have sex with them unless the age of consent in their state is 15.
Cap’n B, I find it more amusing to imagine NWO as Stewie Griffin.
And what was creepy about the situation was that I was in high school. I wasn’t even legally allowed to drive at the time, and the guy was several years older than me – years past legal adulthood. My point was – dude hit on me, dude was creepy, dude was creepy in front of a cop. The cop knew how old I was. The cop did not arrest him. His wife did intercede and pretend to be a friend of my mom’s, which scared him away – then she gave me some good advice about telling dudes, ‘Thanks, not interested.’
Man wanting sex? Not necessarily creepy.
Man thinking that wanting sex means he deserves sex, from whatever woman he wants, regardless of her own desires? Creeeeepy.
@Holly Pervocracy
Women should always think of men as potential rapists, since all men have the potential to rape.
Any grown man that thinks a 15 year old girl is sexy is a pervert.
Any grown man who would have sex with a 15 year old girl even if she initiated the encounter is a rapist.
Any grown man who would have sex with a 15 year old girl even if she initiated the encounter is a rapist.
Well, yes because the age of consent is still 16 in most states.
And you are really creepy for thinking that 16 is too old to date.
Women should always think of men as potential rapists, since all men have the potential to rape.
Any grown man that thinks a 15 year old girl is sexy is a pervert.

The disgusting thing about you, NWO, is that you apparently DISAGREE with any of this.
NWO: You are getting better. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
@Victoria von Syrus
You’re right Victoria; Taking his male privilege for granted he figured he deserved sex, he didn’t just want it. just another example of men not realizing all the privileges they take for granted.
Has anyone read The Collector by John Fowles? Whenever NWO shows up I’m reminded of it, because the main character is basically him.
NWOslave, You may not want to become a feminist because the beliefs you espouse are not feminist. You seem to be looking for some form of movement that is, quite unlike feminism, simultaneously pro-woman and anti-man. If that is indeed what you want I would ask that you look elsewhere, as there is no room in feminism for that kind of misandrony.
If you would like to become a feminist instead of some form of misandronist activist, you might want to try some simple exercises. Think of the thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, and desires you feel. Now think of a woman having a similar set of thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, and desires.
That is one of the most important steps to becoming a feminist. It will help you to get over absurd misandronist views you seem to hold since your conversion.
Remember, feminism is not just a re-gendered version of the misogynist MRM.
I don’t know, Johnny. Stewie actually has a measure of intelligence. NWOs “sarcasm” reminds me of when Homer attempts to ridicule someone else’s ideas and ends up looking even more ridiculous as a result.
You see NWOslave, when you say in one post that adults should in some cases engage in sexual behavior with children you are wrong. Adults should not engage in sexual behavior with children, regardless of the genders of the adults and the children. Do you understand that?
@Graham
I never read the book, but I saw the movie. I heard that it followed the book pretty closely.
@Fatman
That second paragraph is so beautiful and so true. That is the meaning of feminism.
I was gonna ask if anyone really prefers NWOslave’s rants to his new style of trolling, but then I realized that if he ever decides he’s not annoying anyone anymore he’ll go right back to his old style, so yeah, even if it stops working, don’t let him know.
Women should always think of men as potential rapists, since all men have the potential to rape.
Well, sure, in the same sense that guns should always been assumed to be loaded. Basic personal safety should always take priority over people’s feelings.
Any grown man that thinks a 15 year old girl is sexy is a pervert.
Not necessarily.
Any grown man who would have sex with a 15 year old girl even if she initiated the encounter is a rapist.
Well, we can argue about what the specific age of consent should be, but the idea that minors cannot legally consent to certain acts is not all that controversial. You would be legally liable if you bought alcohol for minors, whether or not the minors asked you to do it for them.
