Where they are of a "similar age". You are an adult who believes minors can consent. Nonce.
If they can't consent then this sentence is meaninglesspic.twitter.com/iJPp8066wt
No intention of prosecution is not the same as removing the age of consent.
If they can't consent then how can they tell the difference between cases where they don't prosecute and ones where they do because one of them assaulted the other
"similar age" You quoted it yourself.
Yes They can consent to sex with each other but not with someone older I know the law avoids using the term "consent" for when two teens "mutually agree" to have sex but the concept they're talking about is still called "consent"
No, that is not consent, the law avoids using the term 'consent' in this context because it is not consent, it is mutual agreement between teenagers of a similar age. The age of consent is 16.
What exactly is the difference, outside of a legal context (because law is clearly fucking broken here), between the term "consent" and "mutually agree" Would you be okay with "enthusiastic consent" workshops if they just changed the name to "enthusiastic mutual agreement"
You think the law of consent is "clearly fucking broken"? Workshops are not sex, so I'm not sure what your point is.
In the United States it's already led to a woman in her 20s being raided by the FBI for "creating and distributing child pornography" by uploading nudes when she was a teenager That seems, at the very least, a suboptimal use of DoJ time and resources
And I guess you didn't bother reading upthread before diving in but this whole conversation is about the idea that "enthusiastic consent workshops" for teenagers are abusive, grooming and pedophilia etc. because "children can't consent" and therefore have no need of them
