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

That it would logically mean the two 15-year-olds have to go to jail, and that there's no difference between the two 15-year-olds having "consensual" sex and one of them raping the other It's really not that complicated

No it isn’t. Convicting adults who rape 15 year olds isn’t contingent on legalising sex between 15 year olds. You don’t need to legalise one kind of sex with a 15 year old in order to criminalise another kind. What kind of fucked up “logic” is that?

Well, you have to have some kind of rationale for why one sexual encounter was rape and the other one wasn't Under normal circumstances, the definition of rape is... lack of consent But you just said *no one* in this group of four 15-year-olds has the capacity to *ever* consent

The weasel words used by the prosecutorial guidelines is that the teenagers "mutually agree" to have sex That's just a synonym of "consent", but one that's technically a different word so it's not clear how it's meant to be different Do you get why that could pose problems
