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?

Not with adults. His entire point. You think 13 year olds aren't fucking? Why not teach them how to do it safely. Abstinence only just teaches them they have no experienced adults they can confide(because getting into trouble) in when they get into a preventable pickle

I’m curious how you intend to prevent 13-year-olds who want to have sex with each other from having sex with one another without disabusing them of all privacy and autonomy.

That's not an answer. You're saying they can never consent, even with each other. Id that's your position, you need to say what should be done in cases where they do have sex. We're all ears.

This is the part where they shuffle their feet and look off into the distance and mutter something noncommittal about how "prosecution is not always in the public interest"
