The harms of religion

[Hovik]

How many people does one have to sleep with to become promiscuous?

You don't understand the term promiscuous? Or do you wish to redefine it?

---

Er, yes? What does someone else's original proposition matter? Anybody at an age at which they are mentally competent enough to have sex should be able to do so, just so long as the sex is consensual and practiced safely.


Yet again, setting up a straw man.

No, setting up societal norms, do you want to challenge them regarding age of consent?

Yes, you are setting up a straw man. By injecting an arbitrary term like 'promiscuous' into the phrasing, you're setting up a false precedent for the argument. You're essentially rewording the argument so that it will illicit an emotional reaction to discredit the argument itself.

Societal norms are passively determined by society. Societal norms don't reflect how things should be done based on rational thinking.

So yes, I do challenge the "societal norms" regarding age of consent because they're based on a flawed understanding of the psychology of adolescents and sexual development.
