I just don't think 24 and 17 are criminal. A little naive? Perhaps.
But this notion is almost always applied when a girl is the younger one and it's...kinda insulting to women, quite frankly.
I suspect the difference there is a lot more about where those people are in life. Not necessarily the ages, but the stages. That's what might make that unhealthy, in today's society. That varies, of course.
Also I almost think the reverse - the fact that young men aren't regarded as possibly being taken advantage of when much older people in different stages of life date them is, I think, a way in which society fails to protect them because that kind of vulnerability is at odds with the masculine ideal
I imagine that kind of age difference wasn't as concerning to a society that had explicit codification of gender roles involving a woman's total dependence on her husband.
Of the whole "daughter is a burden to get rid of for personal gain" thing.

I guess I'm gonna have to let you guys down/diffuse the situation and say that I grew up and live in the south where marrying straight out of highschool is common and that age range isn't that unusual. I'm not really interested in discussing it beyond that though because it literally doesn't matter or have any bearing on my life. Not worth debating.
I was actually saying that I agree with you I'm just surprised because you reacted very differently in a past conversation we had here.
Are you sure I wasn't fucking with you?
Also, I have very strong feelings about protecting minors and innocents from harm. I just genuinely don't believe a 17 year old applies.
It's a distinct possibility!
Tis hard to tell these things over the internet of course.
I always thought that one was real though!
Huh. Whelp now I know!

@Ludious re: the meditative aspect of lego--idk if it holds any interest, but have you ever done any sort of needlework? Either counted cross-stitch or yarn stuff. It has the same quality where you are creating something, so you're using your craftsmanship, but you're also following a pattern, so you know exactly what you have to do, and you're doing something with your hands, so it's nice physically as well.
I'd guess most men have never gotten the chance to try it but it's really very nice.
I've been spending hours pixelating some video game art in order to make it into a cross stitch pattern and that has been very zen for me, and I know executing the pattern will also be really nice.

I've looked into it. It seems a bit too fiddly for me but I may give it a shot one day. I'm not opposed to needlework. My grandma taught me how to sew when I was a kid.

I'll believe you when I don't see 10,000 titles on PornHub for TEEN DOES ANAL FIRST TIME ON CAMERA <<18 Y.O. LEGAL>>
Teenage women are definitely fetishized and targeted to a large extent by popular culture as sexual objects and it is far far more common for abusive relationships to involve older men and much younger women. Small age gaps that straddle the lines of adulthood/non-adulthood are obviously not what I mean by this. The teen girl fetish is also relatively well-accepted in our culture (we completely expect adult men to lust after hot young things). I don't think it is insulting to women to state that teenage girls who are only just transitioning into adulthood are vulnerable to being targeted by older, manipulative men.
As a former teenage girl I can testify that I definitely did not have my head on straight when it came to understanding when people were genuine/trustworthy about what they wanted from me. I'm sure teenage boys are not as savvy about it, either. But the teen girl as sex object fetish is definitely prominent and widespread (although I can't speak for systemic exploitation in gay subcultures/pornography, not being exposed to that kind of thing).
65 in Overwatch ranked now, no one is safe from my bunny hop

We deny them the first point in Hanamura, team comp something like Mercy, Zenyatta, Reinhardt, Reaper, Dva and maybe a tracer or hanzo. Switch mercy for Lucio and we wipe them and take point on our first push.

I've wanted to take up knitting for the meditative aspect for a long time. Just never have.
I tried coloring for a while and liked it
I have never learned how to knit, but cross stitch is pretty much the best. It's also more similar to coloring in that you are filling up a flat area with color as opposed to creating a 3d object from scratch. But it's less portable than knitting/not socially acceptable to do in public or semi-public areas the way knitting is.
I've had this weird idea kicking around in my head for the last couple of weeks.
I've heard many stories of math teachers and the like challenging their students to make a million tally marks in a month and if they manage to do it they get an A for the quarter (or w/e). The point being that nobody can pull it off and the students get an appreciation for how big a million really is.
I've done some searching and I can't find that anyone's ever done it.
I kinda want to grab a couple of cheap cameras and a mic and start streaming me filling out sheets of graph paper with tallys every evening until I pull it off.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
