I watched a long podcast with three dudes
One of which wore a wrestling mask
And I thought his point was that sometimes a 13 yr old can be mature enough to have consensual sex, including with older adults.
And this has probably happened in history.
Maybe I've misunderstood. Meh

I'm sure in some extreme and unusual cases
a 13 year old might psychologically be mature enough to make such a choice.
But I would say that was less than 1% of 13 year olds.
What kind of insane twat would put the other 99% of kids at risk just to help out that 1%? Oh I know, someone who wants to make things easy for paedos.
It's like the most extreme version of his own rants about "Libtard feminists" defending Sharia Law in the name of womens lib.

Yes you've articulated that very well
This was the perspective I was thinking too

But he wasn't arguing for a change of law.
He actually has said that he thinks the law is broadly correct, but that a one-size-fits-all solution necessarily makes some mistakes, so treating it as 100% correct with no adaptation for individual circumstances is a problem.

You can't adapt for individual circumstance because it puts everyone else at risk

You can't place unreasonable restrictions on the majority to protect a minority.

Well no, I was more
talking about the arbitrary nature of the age of consent. You can also apply the point to censorship. It's a tightrope.

We already do adapt for individual circumstances in terms of sentencing,
as it happens.
Again, I don't think he was saying that we must adapt for individual circumstances... I think he was saying that the lack of adaptation is a flaw, without suggesting any practical correction for that flaw.
I would agree with him, it's flawed but what else can the law do?

Something like if you're a left wing lovie it's ok to fuck kids?
But if you're the local weirdo on a council estate you need locking up?

No, recognising distinction between
whoever it was Milo fucked, and Jimmy Saville.

I'm pretty sure necrophilia is illegal
In fact, the judge made that very clear to me.

I'd say that would probably be the only time Saville's actions had no victim.
but that would have no bearing at all on the other times where he definitely had a victim.
