You said what I've been thinking too........about society and how we make things wrong/immoral/illegal, etc. Girls start being able to conceive at 10-12 years. Men can produce viable sperm forever. We have so many instincts that we are out of touch with, and society makes rules and determines what's "right" and what's "wrong", without even thinking about instinct. As usual, I'm not making a judgement (for the most part) on people's leanings. I'm just explaining why some things might happen.
I'm just constantly trying to understand why things happen. It can get pretty weird for me though..........knowing that men who are attracted to younger women are considered evil and branded as pediphiles.........when it might be just instinctual.
As everything, there is a continuum. Some people who commit a "sexual" wrong can fall anywhere from the total left of the continuum, and some who fall totally on the right........but we lump it all together as the same thing. We're harder on some of these people than we are to people who commit horrendous crimes. I don't know what the answer is. There's just too many people for the government/society to know the true mind and behavior of each "perp".........so we treat everyone the same.
Like Sen. Franken stepping down..........versus Moore or even Trump. It's all pretty crazy.
Yes, I could say that being sexual with a young child isn't good...........but how can we brand someone a pedophile for life, if they were 18 and had sex with their 16 year old girlfriend?
I wish we could get a little more control of that pendulum.........that always swings too far in the opposite direction of whatever made it swing too far in the other direction.
I'm rambling. I wish I could stop thinking for awhile and just take a rest........ But the direction of this society, in so many areas, is making my mind run on over-drive. I think I smell smoke.
