The number of people in this thread defending statutory rape just demonstrates why it is important not to accommodate statements like his.

When my parents got married, my mom was 17 and my dad was 19.

Is my dad a rapist?

Can you be a bit more clear about what "defending statutory rape" means to you?

All i'm seeing is people pointing out that statutes are different around the globe, and that it was rms' point that the variety of these rules is the exact reason not to refer to minsky's behavior (whatever it was) as "assault".
