People under the age of majority can be sexual...
- Against: Cognitive ability = consent - Some argue that "sex" has special properties that make it impossible for minors to give informed consent.
- Against: Childhood innocence - "Childhood innocence" is a highly problematic concept.
- Evolutionary logic - Trauma from voluntary age-gap relations makes no sense in evolutionary terms.
- Cyclical paternalism - Protecting minors brings about the need to protect them more.
- Liberty-empowerment - Empowering young people will benefit them.
Anti age-gap arguments are really anti-youth arguments...
- Against: The kids do not want it - Legal minors (who are supposedly too stupid to consent) are suddenly required to show enthusiasm for law reforms that antis dispute, but not ones that take their rights away.
- Against: Teen brain - Ideas of a distinct, or inferior "teen brain" are value-laden, outdated western pseudoscience.
- Against: Corresponding age attraction - Questions the assumption of a unique "childhood" or "between minors" sexual orientation.
Sexually repressing minors does not benefit them...
- Against: Online dangers - The internet is generally not a dangerous place for minors.
- Reverse sexualization - Popular acknowledgement of sexuality in nude photography is revealing.
- Turn of events - How the reporting and prosecution of sex can change the perspective of a youth.
- The ideal victim - Pursuing a singular, stereotyped view of the abuser and their victim actually encourages abuse.
From the encyclopedia...
- Youth are sexually oppressed through the legal system
- So-called "child pornography" and its effects on minors.
