    Wait, how come she’s old enough to make the decision to have sex, but she’s not old enough to have access to her money?

      Because a) statute of limitations and b) lawyers cost money. No, I think you are right, the simpler explanation makes more sense.

        Having sex with your peers is are appropriate teenage behavior. Being preyed upon by pedophiles isn’t. Being taught about selling your body also isn’t. I’m not sure where you’re having problems “being fair” here.

          I think the assumptions you made is that 1, they were peers and 2, that they regret it in hindsight. Im still in the male/no category, but even with their much older and more mature brains they still think that was a consensual interaction.

          Im just thinking the wider possibilities and Ideas because, let’s be honest, we’re not discussing either a possibility or policy change - its just not going to happen.

          One was happily fucking her way through men double and triple her age within the first 6 months and had the only regret of an STD - why should she not have been able to take 10 mill for something she was going to do anyway?Does being paid suddenly make it not OK?

            Never forget the one thing that the Left and the Right both agree on: women of any age do not have sexual agency.

            The Left says men shouldn’t prey on them. The Right says it’s men’s God-given right to prey on them. Both agree that men are always predators and women are always prey. The idea of a woman actually wanting sex is equally deviant to both sides.

          One of these days we as a society will have to confront the fact that 14 year olds can be and often are attracted to older people. Yes, even girls.

          We’re not ready for that conversation yet, but one day.

            14 year olds are children, not adults, and whether they are attracted to adults isn’t the concern. The fact that you think the problem here is that society won’t allow children to act on their attraction to adults - and not that children should not fuck adults - is a massive self-report.
