It’s happened kind of often in the past where I’d meet someone of the opposite sex and pretty quickly become infatuated with them despite not really fully knowing them. Oftentimes I would also even be convinced they had a thing for me too despite as I said we’d barely know each other or not even be fully acquainted but just based on them being even a little friendly with me or even just looking at me a certain way. I figured it had to with being bad with social signals and being fairly lonely as a person in general but I wanted to see what others thought.

I saw a clip of something from a movie with the guy from Hunger Games and realized I had never seen a scene of a guy being raped by a woman but figured there have to be more. Apart from that, I’ve just always wondered how females on male rape even worked. Are there other scenes?

And that’s why there are so many posts about it on here. Getting into the illogical points of what’s considered “pedophilia” would be beside the point but the point is: you say anything besides toe the line and you’re accused of excusing and enabling pedophilia or just straight up being a pedophile. Here, at least people have to somewhat argue the points since they’re speaking to anon accounts but you make arguments in public and people will try to burn you down for, basically, alleged thought crimes.

Of course age of consent laws are in place to protect kids from the trauma that comes with sex but knowing adults, women in particular, who are very promiscuous, they either have straight up emotional damage or they have some kind of psychiatric disorder that makes them numb to all sorts of things. And yes, monogamy or abstinence are solutions to the kind of emotional damage those people face.

“Pedophilia” referring to the modern definition: a legal adult, someone 18 or over, with a legal child, someone under 18.

It’s the reason people are okay with common sense Romeo and Juliet cases (a 19 year old, a literal adult, dating a 17 year old, a literal child, is okay because “they’re within close age range”) but an older man dating a much younger woman (a 50 year old man, a literal adult, dating a 20 year old woman, another literal adult, is not okay because “he’s much older and has a huge advantage over her”). The former is literal “pedophilia” and the latter is not but here we are.

I would also argue that this logic is based in the woke idea that “highly uneven power dynamics are inherently bad” but I’m sure people will gaslight by saying “no one ever says that”.
