You have the right to state your own opinion. I think when we take a wider look at societies with creeping authoritarianism, then these are the kinds of issues that become really important. I know these are your longstanding views, and aren't dependant on what is currently happening in society, but I'm just relating them to what is happening around the world.

Women should be allowed to make their own choices as adults, and if those "relationships" are either predatory or coercive, then laws already exist to deal with them. If a person is already a predator, then an additional law isn't going to stop them. I completely disagree with your definition of a nonce.

You're fully aware that you have really conservative social values (your issue with porn is personally bizarre to me, but you get that it's a personal view), and you're also aware that they are your views alone, and even at times are too conservative to be classed as inside the conservative mainstream.

So in short, I disagree with you majorly on the points I've raised, but I think that 16-18 is valid, and we're just spit balling here because neither you or I have the power to do anything with our opinions.
