There's been a LOT of discussion about how adults casually violating kids -- "Now I know you're not a hugger, but still!" "Jimmy, don't be rude to Grandma, give her a hug and kiss!" -- primes them for freezing up and being unable to articulate consent in sexual situations later

And apparently the anti-"enthusiastic consent" people refuse to believe this narrative and think by even bringing the word "consent" into being hugged and kissed by your cheek-pinching grandma we're perverting the innocence of childhood or whatever The disagreeement runs deep

This is relevant to this discussion why? Who is arguing this here?

If minors can't consent to sex, is there anything they can consent to? Can they consent to being touched, or hugged, or picked up off the ground?

Because you're out here saying "Minors can't consent" as this absolute rule and that has a lot of implications I know that if you want to pick an adult up bodily off the ground you have to have their consent and if you don't it's assault Is it okay to do that to a child

Well I guess it would mean that my high school girlfriend and I raped each other several times when we were 17 and I would rather neither of us go to prison

No, it is a pretty direct answer to your question If minors can't consent to sex with each other then there's a lot of mutual rapists out there who have to go to prison

There's usually legal guidelines put in place for what age gap people think is appropriate, based on the idea that age of consent is a spectrum If it weren't, then a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old couldn't be any "more wrong" than two 15-year-olds
