Pseudoscience about "bad brains" has been an integral part of bigotry for at least 200 years.
Women, African-Americans, teenagers, whoever the bigots want to oppress, suddenly there is very fishy "science" proving their brains are bad.

Dan Siegel says, with a straight face, in front of an audience, and cameras, that:
Adolescence used to last 2 years
but now it last anywhere from 12 to 20 years.
6 to 10 times longer. For no reason. It just happened.
Dan Siegel is batshit crazy.

The idea that a 18 year old can handle decisions like joining the army or starting a family,
but can't be allowed to do dangerous things like drink a beer or have sex with a MILF
is stupid beyond belief.

The U.S. drinking age is a bizarre outlier for 2 reasons:
A. scapegoating young adults is easy for politicians
B. long American Puritan tradition loathes alcohol

A: 16 year olds can't consent, so it's rape.
B: I had sex when I was 16 and it wasn't rape.
A: Yeah, there are Romeo and Juliet laws.
B: So 16 year olds can consent.
A: Oh, fuck.

demands that we scream about the bogey man, the all pervasive but undefined, undefinable, and essentially meaningless term "trafficking"

Some people will tell you that teens are too stupid to choose their own girlfriend or boyfriend.
Don't believe them.

Our society utterly fails to prepare girls for becoming women. We are in deep denial. We don't talk about these things. Then everyone feels incredible shame about normal healthy development. It's pure dysfunction. How can we be so fucking bad at this?

"power dynamics" is 100% bullshit and getting all neurotic about it has made the youngs miserable AF.
They're lonelier and having less sex than any previous generation.

a 20-year-old can't be a stripper in Texas because she is "underage"
but if you wanna drive a car in Texas at 16 you're not underage
we ought to stop pretending the term "underage" actually means something

Brain study is a cute hobby, but it's about as useful as collecting stamps. We have written records of thousands of years of young adults aged 14-18 doing just fine anytime they were given the chance.

Sex crime can't possibly happen if we just make sure than nobody ever thinks of teenagers as men and women.
They have boobs and beards and hips and deep voices, but they're children. Sure.

Listen to victims.
Most people know the story of Polanski's crime. So they can just skip the first 15 min.
The last 20 min however are really important unfiltered views of the victim. A perspective rarely heard & extremely important.

but worse than that, nobody even had sex. It is completely absurd to believe that saying "Hey, wanna have sex?" is a heinous crime.
We have to stop this hyperbolic fear-mongering bullshit.

The brain is by far the least understood part of the human body.
Drawing conclusions about what should be illegal for whom based on junk fMRI studies is atrociously stupid.

If it's lawnmowers, guns, or microwave ovens people who get them need to learn to use them safely.
It's no different with bodies that can get pregnant or catch STDs.

When I was 17 my boyfriend was 23.
So assholes like Phil Mitchell think they have the right to tell me I am a victim of child rape.
Well, Phil, fuck off.

So if someone asks, or you're about to ask "Are you okay with X or Y?"
figure out if the question means
"do you think X is gross?"
or "do you think X is harmful?"
is the question about the emotional or about the rational?

minor =/= child
puberty ends your childhood between 9 and 13 years of age.
laws decide when you stop being a minor.
There is no relationship between these two things.

We have pretty wildly exaggerated the importance of age with regard to this issue.

When I was 17 my boyfriend was 23 and everything was fine.
It is shocking AF that today he could, in some states, get prison time for making love to me.

Abuse happens. People of all ages abuse people of all ages. Age is not the determining factor. The idea that this or that age combination automatically makes something abusive is simply stupid AF.
