  • In 1885 the legal age of consent in the UK was raised to 16. The average life expectancy of adults had barely changed.

    So while this disproves your correlation theory, it’s also important to remind the reader that correlation is not the same as causation. Society, the role of government, the rule of law and its encroachment on personal choice changed hugely from the 13th Century and 17th Century - I would therefore claim that society would not have been accepting of paedophilia in the 13th Century despite the lack of law.

    Sexual desire of prepubescent children has, as far as I know, never been considered the norm.




  • I don’t mean this in a bad or critical way: I genuinely do not understand this thought. As humans we are born shit at EVERYTHING. Literally. We can’t even fucking walk.

    In the developed world we spend the first 16-18yrs learning. And then some of us spend some more time learning.

    I learned a new sport when I joined uni. Then I learned to programme. Then I learned a martial art.

    I have spent my entire life being shit at things. Because I’ve also spent my entire life learning.

    If you refuse to be shit at something, then you also refuse to learn, and to me that makes no sense - I think I’ll only stop learning when I die.

    This is just my unfiltered thoughts - I am not trying to be critical, I am just trying to explain how I cannot comprehend this kind of thinking because it is the literal antithesis of me.
