    I wonder who saw this coming?

    Was it stallman again?

    Yeah it really was. It’s annoying and terrifying how right Richard stallman always is.

      Was he right when he wrote “I think it is morally absurd to define ‘rape’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17”?

        Out of context, I see nothing wrong with that. Rape is rape. Location and age shouldn’t be a factor in deciding whether something qualifies as rape or merely sexual assault. And while we’re at it, can we also get rid of the ass-backwards criteria in some jurisdictions that make being penetrated a requirement?

          Maybe so, but it’s also like “is this really the hill you want to die on?”

          What “maturity” is is a complicated and nuanced subject. Hell, some 50 year olds are less mature than 16 years old, what implications might that have? Not to mention how to even quantitatively measure maturity. You’re getting out in the weeds in a similar way of how you would regarding intelligence

          At some point you just have to pick your poison, and saying “18 years is the age of consent” and strong protections for victims is considered good enough for most.

          Edit: on re-reading, you didn’t say what I thought you said, that’s my bad, either way, I’ll keep this comment up assuming that stallman was arguing for changing age of consent laws.

        Saying one correct thing doesn’t mean everything else you say is right
