"In life, I was raised to hate the undead. Trained to destroy them. When I became Forsaken, I hated myself most of all. But now I see it is the Alliance that fosters this malice. The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh. It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall." - Lilian Voss
You guys see the difference of "age of consent" and age for being married? It is really disturbing to legalize it, to marry 13 year old (or even younger people legally. And it is even more disturbing to allow people, to marry their 13 years old, adopted daughters, which is basically incest.
It doesn't have anything to do with a certain attraction towards minors of certain ages. It's about getting married with children don't even have basic human rights. These kids can't say no to the marriages basically, and THAT'S what the discussion should be about, not about how the brains of the perpetrators work.
Being horny, and emulating adult behavior does not equate to being mature enough to deal with adult situations.
Wrong. I derive my moral judgments in this case from my knowledge of psychological and psychosocial development, and what is ideal for the lifelong happiness and mental health of an individual.
I cannot understand this pedophilia thing, to me it is not a good sex session if you are not covered in bruises the next day.
"Iranian officials argue that the question of fathers marrying their adopted daughters comes out of practicality since adopted girls are forced to wear a hijab around their fathers and mothers must wear it around their adopted sons."

You assume those are universal. With the exception of disabilities, would those not be entirely dependent upon their environment? Someone growing up in the midwest USA isn't going to share the same kind of social development or values as someone growing up in Saudi Arabia.
Speak openly admits young people attempt to sleep with older people, Speak's point was that because of the differences in their psychological development, even if the younger party is the one making the advances, the older party is still in control of the situation.I feel like Speak thinks that admitting that much younger girls can attempt to coerce older men to sleep with them is somehow admitting that it would be ok to actually sleep with them. Strange logic train.
We think third person and the imperial we are a good way of lightening up the tone of a discussion, but we don't appreciate our position being referred to as a straw man, when it isn't one.
A child growing up in total darkness would not be aware of color, but that situation would not be ideal for them either.
Extreme example yes, but it is parallel to yours.
