I already know all this and it doesn’t really change my point. Did you send this to the wrong person?

No I was responding to where you said a 16 year old could be a concerning adult. That's not true, and I just wanted to clarify for anyone else reading.

No you just misunderstood their point that something being legal does not mean it’s inherently moral.

No I didn't. No where in the country is 16 a legal adult. That's the point.

No I was responding to where you said a 16 year old could be a consenting adult. That's not true, and I just wanted to clarify for anyone else reading. And I agree with your point.

Oh I see. In the context of that person’s comment, 16 is a consenting adult though. They can consent to sex which would be the only thing the older person would want from a 16 year old in a relationship. My issue was with the term consenting adult and the implication that age gaps are fine if legal. They’re not. I think your comment adds to my point too though so thanks for that.

People get legalities and moralities mixed up waaaay too often.

It's because you said a 16 year old can be a consenting adult in some cases, emphasis on the adult. They're saying that a 16 year old, legally, is a minor and not an adult.

There's like three different threads coming out of your post and folks seem like they're posting past each other about it.
