TLDR: at the end.

I was talking to a former friend (M46?) who is separated from his wife and “dating” a 20 year old model. Arguing, actually. I was talking about acceptable age gaps and trying to inform him about how women are socialized and culturally conditioned differently than men are, and she might feel obligated to have sex with him even if he wasn’t pressuring her (which he would never do.) And that since she’s so young she hasn’t had any time to see the societal discrepancy and yadda yadda. Anyway, he asked me what I think the age of consent should be if not 18. Like, bruh… missed the point entirely. I hate the idea that, as soon as a girl turns a certain age, then she’s free game.

Another time we were talking about something that really upset and enraged me. My best friend’s sister, who I’m not fond of and absolutely don’t respect, works as a high school teacher. An 18 year old male student got mad at a 14 year old female student who was teasing him but wouldn’t have sex with him. She had sent him a sexy Snapchat thinking it would just disappear like snaps do, but dude simply recorded the screen on another device and sent it to their entire class as revenge! The school suspended and gave him detention, nothing else. If I was that girl’s parent, I would bring the wrath of hell down on that school and that guy! I told my friend that it’s posession and distribution of child pornography to minors and he should be arrested and charged as an adult and go through the legal system. Cuz, you know, that’s what it’s for. My former dude friend was totally against this, student is young, barely an adult, don’t ruin his entire future over this one little mistake… the usual defense of despicable violations of women. My argument was that even if a judge was lenient with him because of his age, actually having to go through the legal process might actually make and impact on him as to how horrible his actions were.

Why is the male student barely and adult, isn’t mature, didn’t truly understand how fucked up his actions were and the 20 year old he’s dating (19 when they started) is a fully mature woman capable of making mature decisions, etc?

WHY?!? Why is she a mature adult and the male student is still just a kid?!?

TLDR: my former friend mid 40s guy thinks the 19-20 year old model he’s dating is a fully mature women but an 18 year old guy who sent a 14 year old girl’s sexy Snapchat to his entire class is just a kid and didn’t really understand what he did was wrong and shouldn’t have charges brought.
