Re: Social justice warriors' race to the bottom.
But what is a child? That physical age has jumped all over the place throughout history. And really age has nothing to do with it. It's maturity. The problem arises when we get some individuals who are mature enough to make sexual decisions even when the rest of their age group isn't and then it gets called child molestation.
Stupid argument is stupid. I'm think too many things are glibly dismissed as "slippery slope" but this really is the biggest slippery slope fallacy out there. Child molestation is never going to be broadly accepted.
