@PhilosophyExp @PhilosophyExp Hence, pornography should be legal for 14 years old.
The age of sexual consent should be 14 (albeit law should be sensitive to issues of exploitation). #TweetYourUnpopularOpinion

@dicophilo Doesn't necessarily follow (for example, I might think pornography should be illegal because women have rights against it). -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo Women may have rights against it. Feminist talking point. Porn girls and other sex workers claim right to do. -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo I'm inclined to believe the people in the business over radical feminists. Matter of consent? -
@tibfulv@dicophilo I think Rae Langton's rights-based argument against porn is the strongest available, but I don't think it's decisive. -
@PhilosophyExp@tibfulv References ? I'd be happy to read it / about it. -
@dicophilo@tibfulv This is the classic statement. (Langton is undoubtedly a superb philosopher): http://bit.ly/1A1BG2M -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo Dear goodness, is she using the extreme nutcase _MacKinnon as a verified truth teller? The woman's a known liar. - 4 more replies

@PhilosophyExp I've always wondered if it was possible to base law around the age difference rather than absolute age. adult-adult excepted. -
@SIN_Notung Plenty of European countries have that sort of system (e.g., Germany). -
@PhilosophyExp@SIN_Notung But I'd normally expect age of consent to be substantially lower where those concerned are of a similar age. /2 -
@Metamagician@SIN_Notung Indeed. It seems absurd that a 15 year old could be jailed for experimenting with another 15 year old.
