Which of these things is the ‘America’ that YOU want?

Question

Clearly this man has his priorities straight!

I think this may be a glass set of choices.

Consenting adults who are of legal age should be allowed to do what they want. If a 19 year old girl wants a relationship with a 52 year old guy, fine. And vice versa. And all sorts of age combinations. Legal and consenting. Weird to some? Sure. But let's not spend our time concerned about it.

As for pedophilia, we use that word too much and wrongly. It's not the 22 year old who's attracted to a 16 year old. Pedophilia is bad and illegal and should remain that way but let's not bandy the term about where it doesn't belong. Do I want a world where pedophilia doesn't exist? Sure. But we're human and it and hebephilia and ephebophilia do exist. We need to figure that out and work with them just like other diagnoses and -philias.

What do I want? I want an America and world where we're nice to each other. Not second guessing motives and attractions and judging each other.

This is a complex question, if both parties are at least 18(17 could be an exception if there is only a couple year age difference) I don't give a fuck if the woman is older, none of my business. The case like the one in the image, that I can't support, sex with a minor is a no no and makes the teacher a pedophile. These people who have issues with a woman being 3 years older then her husband I bet have no issues with a guy being 20 years older then his girlfriend/wife.

If both parties are over the age of 18, maybe 20, I don't care. Yes, Florida has the romeo and juliet law which technically makes it ok for a 22 year old to be with a 16 year old and that's more of a grey territory BUT the Oklahoma's Romeo and Juliet DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY so the woman broke the law. She's an Ephebophile who technically raped the boy.

I would be against the case either way since men mature slower and especially this generation. I wouldn't trust a kid my age to date anything beside a literal rock. If it had been a older guy with a teen girl, I would trust it (STILL ephebophilia though, no exceptions on that part)

What's the problem with Biden's granddaughter being 3 years older than her husband? As long as they're both consenting adults, I see no problem. 3 years isn't a big difference.

For some reason people like picking at women who are in relationships or married to younger men. Whereas if it's a man much older than his girlfriend or wife it's all fine. I call it hypocrisy!

I'm not American, but I don't want the US to be a country where pedophilia is normalized.

This man has nothing else to do, if he's deeply concerned with the fact that Naomi is older than her husband.

I don’t understand, if both people are over 18… why would anyone care if a woman married a younger man, I mean whose business is it anyway who someone marries, and why would that be uniquely American thing? I don’t understand that one!
And ALL pedophiles should be in prison! Believe me, I have a VERY personal stake in THAT one! But a 22yo attracted to a 16yo is not a pedophile, she is an ephebophile. Pedophiles are only attracted to PREBUBESCENT children. But again why is that an “american thing”? The Hebophile who raped me on my 13th birthday was British!
you are going to have to forgive me on this one, but I don’t understand it at ALL what any of this has to do with the choice of “what” America we live in? Why can we not have an America where Pedophiles, Hebophiles, and Ephebophiles are all prosecuted, and adult women attracted to younger adult males are just left alone? I get hit by men in there 30’s 40’s and 50’s almost every week, and nobody cares, or should care because I’m an adult? I honestly think I missed something here, I'm sorry hun.

Honestly I don't understand this. I come from a very traditional country, my wife is a couple of years older than me, and nobody bats an eye.

Likewise my grandfather was 18 when he married my grandmother, who was 26. Nobody said anything although they urged them to have children ASAP.

I'm cool w women being older, wish it wasn't seen a bad thing, but when the boy is a child then ya that's different. That should be seen as a bad thing.

Fuckin wild how some people think the other way around, like it's fine if she's older—but only if he's a child. As soon as he's an adult too, it's bad if he gets with older women. Bro wtf do you mean?

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I don’t want either of these to be our America.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

25 and 28 is a perfect age gap. I see no paedophilia. Both people in a couple may date and/or marry if they’re both compatible.
