The age of consent being this low is to avoid prosecuting 15-20 yo having sex with each other. Not for gross old men to coerce minors into having sex with them.
Why does minority/majority matter? Minors are considered inferior to majors. They can't vote, and can't decide most of their life by themselves (loans, bank account...). We consider it 'normal' for them to get yield at/beaten by their parents (and once upon a time, teachers). The _minimum_ society can do to make up for them is protecting them as much as it can. And that means protecting them from predators like Epstein or even Seinfeld.
I don't buy this argument. That is addressed by age gap laws which some countries have or in the U.S. where there age of consent is different if one of the parties is over 18 and 21.
You can't honestly be claiming that these type of relationships don't occur in these countries. The fact is that in homogeneous populations there seems to be way more tolerance for these kind of age gaps.
So as long as any victims is a minor, even if the victim is 17 and gave explicit consent, if the predator have provable power over her, the consent is waived and it is a pedophilic sexual assault
Exchanging a home for sexual favours to a minor in France is considered pedophilia, you can find articles about a recent case.
Sorry I am repeating myself but I want to be sure you understood my main point and engage with it rather than with a straw man.
Nor did I defend "old farts fucking teenagers".
What I did do was point out that this behavior seems to be viewed differently when the participant is a Jewish man than when he is French or Anglo.
> By the way, if you're trying to truly combat antisemitism, it would be wise of you to avoid mentioning that you are jewish and defend old farts fucking teenagers in the same comment.
Between this and your comments that you believe Epstein was eating children, it's hard for me to take your advice as being in good faith.
