I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but it's always funny to me how modern society "forgets" that men are literally biologically programmed to be attracted to girls are soon as they start looking "old enough".
And guess what, that doesn't magically happen when they turn 18, it often happens at a younger age.
And no, that doesn't mean men should flirt with and date young girls. I'm just trying to say it's biology. It's science. Facts even.
Edit: you guys are so predictable lol
You’re getting downvoted because it’s irrelevant and honestly quite creepy to bring up. There’s plenty of shit people did in the distant and not so distant past that isn’t ok today because we now know better.
Rockstars would literally brag about shagging a high schooler. Different times and vibes. We know better now that it's predatory and we should move forward advancing society with that knowledge.
In addition he's getting downvoted because this is fucking sexist bullshit. In non-sexually repressive environments most kids get sexually attracted to other kids irrespective of their gender fairly early. Arguably girls might get there a couple of years earlier, arguably. And so throughout the gender spectrum people don't fuck despite their attraction because they have heads on their shoulders as you rightfully point out.
This guy right here, officer.
You do realize people have the ability to not act upon every urge right
So who cares? You've got a brain for a reason
Yo, so why am I attracted to 30's-ish taller women with bush and armpit hair that also look like they could crush my bones?
Don't start pulling biologically programmed out your ass when describing your own tastes.
I think there's too much sexual supression, especially through religion. The 2nd largest serial killer in the world was a paedo because he knew he liked boys at a young age but due to Christianity having a big emphasis on don't be gay, he suppressed those urges and they came back out later in life, except he was still attracted to the boys at the age he realized he was gay.
Girls can look "cute" but if you're well integrated into society in the first place, you can find them attractive, but not sexually attractive if that makes sense.
I think there is too much sexual suppression in the US. Here in Denmark the age of consent is 15, and I honestly think it is a much safer place for my daughter than the US.
Same here in Slovenia. I have two early teenage daughters and will have no problem with them being responsibly sexual with partners of same age or a couple years older when they are 15 if they want to. We will talk about everything of course. In america there seems to be some cognitive dissonance - everything is sexualized but also forbidden.
So a person who I guarantee has piped up with a "not all men" at every possible opportunity, is here openly saying to the world they think men "can't help" but be paedophilic rapists.
And somehow it's feminists who get framed as "manhaters".. 🤦♀️
