Because sex is so bad and it's a terrible decision to be set up for life for 2 minutes of work? I get the principle and all, but there's people cleaning septic tanks and stuff for much less. I don't understand what's so much worse about sex. Gross? Painful? I've personally been through so much shit in my life and I'm almost ok but broke AF. I couldn't imagine turning down this deal. I can't imagine it being someone else's problem if it's not even my problem.
We make kids go through much worse shit just for the sake of "making them a productive member of society". Where's my foreskin? Who got to make that decision for me while I live with the consequences?
"I'm poor and circumcised so that makes it ok to rape minors" that's you pal.
Yeah, children cannot consent to sex with adults so even if he could argue that poverty under capitalism is worse than rape then society has completely failed those children. Wealth disparity under capitalism has grown too large and I fear that capitalism is both destroying the planet and society.
Why can they consent to anything else? What's the difference?
The problem is the power in balance. A teen or child cannot consent to sex with an adult because they are not on the same cognitive level and the adult could easily be preying on and manipulating the child.
The power imbalance exists whether they're having sex or not. That power imbalance is constantly exploited for anything and everything that isn't sex and isn't getting anyone paid.
You're not wrong, but one evil doesn't justify another.
