<Members of this school of thought stress that they don't condone coercing children into sex, and that they are not pro-pedophilia, as the term is commonly understood. But several contend that minors are capable of agreeing to and even initiating sex with adults.
What a tough crowd -- and a tough topic to match it.
History:
Historically, marriages of 13- & 14-year-old couples were common place, and peasant mothers appreciated the aristocratic older gentleman who would take her young daughter under his wing. In all reality, child-sex & homosexuality were very accepted in ancient Rome and Greece, as well as Asia -- as was slavery -- and these were our great bastions of civilization.
Factually speaking, those mentioned in the article are indeed correct in their assertion. Still doesn’t make it legal, though. Times have changed, and the world is a little more complicated than when young Romeo & Juliet were wed, and it has changed far beyond what these so-called educated men and women seem to realize.
Accepted?
Well, not in this house.
Methinks that life confined to the campus has addled these narrow-minded educators,
