#consentcourse

(my hot take is that trying to push an age of consent onto species that have no concept of one and age differently is really showing of how you really feel about alterhumans and nonhumans and frankly on how you feel about aays/yaps and youth rights in general)

Just putting them all in the tags. Take a look at them and block the ones you need to.

"minors can't consent" -> "i think those pre-puberty do not have the ability to consent to sex"

"animals can consent" -> "if presented to, some animals may attempt to mount, they understand sex to that extent and i do consider this do be given sexual consent"

"minors can consent" -> "hey remember those under 18 can get jobs in most places, i think they have the ability to consent to getting this job, they think so too and they got this job, consenting to working this [x] environment"

i think we have mixed up consent as solely meaning "sex related", but it isn't. minors begin to learn about consent when they start saying "no". constantly telling the youth that they cannot consent reminds them that they are seen as "lesser", that their choices aren't what matters, but rather the choices of the adult who "owns" them.

"i know you don't want to, but go hug your grandma" is breaking youth consent but this is so typical. what's the difference?
