Because the law is not so extreme and can be changed if it were.
As it happens we are still working on right and wrong between us here. I was merely explaining to you why some of your statements were not safe. We do not live in an ideal Utopian society where laws are not required. We do, however, live in democracies where unfair or improper laws that do not reflect a population's morality get changed. An example of this is the gay marriage legislation that is making its way across Europe as I type.
Now we seem to have established puberty as a measure of sexual readiness with apparently some reservation on your part:
Beginning, during or after puberty? How do we measure it? You have stated it would be a better indicator for the law. Is it by pubic hair, breast development, first period or other? What did you have in mind?
In the meantime I would like to investigate the flip-side if you don't mind.
Now we have established that a pubescent (if not earlier) girl (in this case) should be allowed to have a sexual relationship if she wants one. My question is, is she, or someone like her, now fair game? In other words is it OK for men to hit on her on the basis she might think she is ready for sex. If she is not ready how do we advise her to deal with these unwanted sexual advances? How is a man supposed to know if, when she says no, she means it?
