So emotional response reaction should be disregarded when we speak about consensual sex in 16 year old persons? The only issue is consent?
I believe you're misunderstanding me. My personal feelings about the topic of consensual sex between 16-year-olds is irrelevant to the discussion, just as your personal feelings are irrelevant.
What I'm disputing is your inclusion of emotionally-charged and arbitrary terms like 'promiscuous' and creating straw man arguments that are meant to evoke an irrelevant emotional reaction instead of careful, rational discourse.
