A sex crime doesn’t become NOT a sex crime because there are remarkable young people engaged in activism on a global scale. I don’t even know how you can begin to reconcile this vile comparison.

She’s not directly global policy, she an environmental activist. You’re all just looking for any excuse to sexualize teenage girls. This isn’t about her agency, this is about pervs trying to find any justification you can to try and prey on younger girls.

This is about her agency. Viewing a discussion about a teenager's ability to consent to sex as actually a predatory move by adults feels super regressive to me

I think it's weird that we view a teenager's ability to consent to either exist or not exist depending on the age of their partner. How old does someone have to be before we tell the teen their consent is now invalid?

Do you not see the power differential between a teen girl and a 22yo man? A 30yo man? A 50yo man?

Yes, there's power differential! I think this is true and maybe a valid argument, but we're still pretty inconsistent. There's lots of ways we use power to control underage people, and lots of ways we tolerate even greater power imbalances in sexual situations.
