Title: Power, money, and sex....
Post by raydawg on 07/12/19 at 08:03:31

When hasn't it been in play?

Re: Epstein, Weinstein, etc..... When will they use the It is how I was born with my sexuality.....card?

Using the arguments of all the gender and sexuality explanations to justify ones sexual activities, beliefs, etc.... thus allowing them to live a life that allows free expression of that sexuality, and protects them from judgement and discrimination of others......based on their own belief system that is rooted in other mitigating reasoning.....with what, morality being one of the considerations?

Who is to judge?

OK, lets look at the other part of the equation, the women/girls.
Rape is rape, and is a crime, period, however, if a girl wants to sell sex for money, why not?
Who are others to say.....NO YOU CAN'T?
Based on what....morality?

Who's?

A minor child can have a abortion WITHOUT anyone's consent.....
On the reasoning its HER CHOICE to do with her body as she desires.....
Why is this different?

They now teach in grade schools how to have different types of sexual experiences, etc, and to be aware and accepting of our, and others,  sexuality, why is horn dog not given the same considerations?
Let's face it, we all have different sex drives and needs based on a deeper born with factor......that is fact.
Why do we not treat all sexuality with the same considerations?

Women who used sex to gain employment advancement, jobs, etc, do so for the same reasoning as a prostitute, nothing differs.....
They use their body as a means to get what thy want, they can say....NO, and if it persist, then it passes into another realm where punitive actions need to be enforced.

Another question, if you think a man in power who uses his position to get sex, etc, is wrong, then can we extend that reasoning to a woman who uses it too, be it against a man, or another woman, and how about a Gay man of means using his power and position who tries to force a straight man into a sexual encounter?

Why do we not have equal justice for all when it comes to this issue of sex?

Who decides the mitigating factors of how we are to deal with the differing of everyone's own unique sexuality?

It's about the innocent and consent, not the guilty.

You think all priests molesting little boys were just "the way they are"?  Hell no.  They preyed upon the innocent.  That's their motivation.  That's a rapists motivation.  It's not sex, it's power/dominance.

To equate LGBT to child molesters is like equating all straight men to rapists.

Sexual orientation is not the same as a sexual predilection to minors or children.

Thankfully, in our society, we protect the innocent and convict the guilty.

Then who's reasoning do we insert in declaring one sexual activity warrants restrictions to their free expression?

It is NOT comparing one to the other, that is solely your own desire to read into something that is not present.

I think younger people are much less hung up about sex than we were.
Generally, less hung up about race as well.
That should be taken to mean we're going in a better direction.

On the negative side,.. social media has made attacks more personal, and created a class of social outcasts that we never had to deal with.
At least not to this extent.

I hope they tire of it, and the flip phone movement catches on.

I agree with your observation, lots of misconceptions about those subjects because they were taboo....
I find that to be very similar to the resulting of Political Correctness too...

HOWEVER..... my question still has not been addressed  :)

Why do we hold certain folk to a certain standard regarding their sexuality when there is no foul play involved?  

It is based on what?

Morality?

Who's....the one in power, that is always changing, or....?

[/quote]

No, I don't think so.  There's huge differences in people's "sex drives".  (unless you have another definition of "sex drive").

From what I gather from one part of your OP, you seem to blur the line between sexual orientation and self control.

What people actually act on can be entirely different than what they may or may not have in their thoughts.  Societal norms guide us in in our day to day life. You can call it morality, piety or whatever, but it's simply protection of the innocent.

Example - it's not the consent law that keeps most adult men from marrying 10 year old girls.

As to prostitution - I dunno.  Making adult movies is legal.  The actors are in effect, "selling themselves" (just like all actors).  Hell, why not make it legal?

I am asking if age plays a part in the reasoning of, in this case, a man, having willingly agreed to sex with a partner, be it a minor, because his sexual drive/need is as such, that young girls satisfy something in his physiological sexuality (?)

Please forget forced against will to this equation.....
That is a no brainer as it is as obvious.

How many, in this case, men...lives have been ruined by this age requirement in a consensual sex activity they both engaged in freely.....for whatever reasons?

Who decides its wrong, based upon what criteria?

Is my question that hard to grasp?

Seems a giant double standard generated toward men on this issue, which prompted my question about equal justice, not unlike how race was, and still in many cases, is, a factor in equal and just representation, and implementation of laws....

Yes, age plays a part.  Do you think those boys/girls who are molested are all kicking and screaming to get a way?  No.  In fact, I'd say hardly any of them were.  They were coaxed into a situation that they initially consented to.  They were innocently following an adult or a superior.  Key word - innocently.  Up until a certain age, children are innocent to the world around them.  Likewise, inexperienced people are the same way (3 card Monty anyone?).  A pedophile, sexual predator or rapist uses their powers - be it authority, age, personal relationship, looks or sometime violence -  to coerce their victims.

The bottom line is always the same - the victims are preyed upon.

How many, in this case, men...lives have been ruined by this age requirement in a consensual sex activity they both engaged in freely.....for whatever reasons?

Like I said - it's not the consent laws that keeps most men from dating 10 year olds.  It's the societal norms that we've developed over the ages.  Protecting the innocent is innate.

Who decides its wrong, based upon what criteria?

It's our society and its evolution.  We structure laws to protect the innocent.  how do we determine who's innocent?  One way (out of many) is how old that person is.  If a law permits a 16 year old to have sex with an adult, then so be it - as long as there's mutual consent.  But if that same scenario would play out as a teacher pressuring a student to have sex for a passing grade, that's coercion and preying upon the innocent.

Is my question that hard to grasp?

No, not at all.  What's actually hard to grasp is why you're asking it in the first place.

Seems a giant double standard generated toward men on this issue, which prompted my question about equal justice, not unlike how race was, and still in many cases, is, a factor in equal and just representation, and implementation of laws....

Societal norms....which can be persuaded by power, as evidenced through dictators/rulers, with Rome being a great example of how they fall, etc....

Who then controls the media, the education, business, can promote their own norm is what you are saying I guess....???

You keep going back to unwilling examples, via coercion, I am not talking about that, I agree, that is not willingly.

If it is solely based on age, that these children are too young to make such a life altering decision regarding sexual activities and need to be protected against possible harm.....

Then why do we not extend the same concerns to allowing them to get/have unconsented abortions that come via that same sexual activity?

I'm done with this.....just trying to link all the reasoning together as what appears to me to be a injustice to certain folk....
I am not condoning it, just trying to find a answer that appears to me a discrepancy of law.  

If it was up to me I'd push abstinence as the only sure thing against being caught in a sexual compromise of self, or having to make the decision re: abortion....but temptation, regardless of influences is hard for everyone to overcome, which, brings us back to why the horn dawg needs to act like he/they, do....

 This needs to be clarified further.  Are you asking if morality is to be taken into consideration when identifying and practicing personal sexuality?  Yes.  

"Who is to judge?"

 Legally?  Courts, Judges and Juries.

"OK, lets look at the other part of the equation, the women/girls.
Rape is rape, and is a crime, period, however, if a girl wants to sell sex for money, why not?"


 They can, its a multi-billion dollar industry called pornography. Just as with all business practice regulations must be followed.  If one wants to practice public prostitution they must do so in counties that have a legal structure to do so.  

"Who are others to say.....NO YOU CAN'T?
Based on what....morality?"


 Yes.  Depends on who's saying NO YOU CAN'T, is it someone saying its illegal to prostitute in downtown by the high-school, or someone saying you can't ever do that?  Both are morality based.

"A minor child can have a abortion WITHOUT anyone's consent.....
On the reasoning its HER CHOICE to do with her body as she desires.....
Why is this different?"


 There has been no national push to legalize underage prostitution.  Given enough people get involved and with the proper decriminalization of sex with minors, restructuring of public sex laws to include minors, then sure a 13 year old girl could potentially legally sleep with whoever she wants.

"They now teach in grade schools how to have different types of sexual experiences, etc, and to be aware and accepting of our, and others,  sexuality, why is horn dog not given the same considerations? "

 Modern comprehensive sex-education programs do.

"Let's face it, we all have different sex drives and needs based on a deeper born with factor......that is fact.
Why do we not treat all sexuality with the same considerations"


 Nobody is stopping anyone from doing that.  Go ahead.

"Women who used sex to gain employment advancement, jobs, etc, do so for the same reasoning as a prostitute, nothing differs....."

 Sleeping your way to the top isn't typically illegal.  It can be, and no legal structure differentiates the gender making it more legal for a female superior to sleep with a subordinate than a male.  

"and how about a Gay man of means using his power and position who tries to force a straight man into a sexual encounter?"  

 Still illegal.  Exactly as illegal as any other version of any gender or orientation.

"Why do we not have equal justice for all when it comes to this issue of sex?"

 Can you cite an example of a law that differentiates by sexuality?

"Who decides the mitigating factors of how we are to deal with the differing of everyone's own unique sexuality?"

 Legally?  Courts.  Personally?  You.  Most laws are developed by citizens who take action, so Courts are you also.

There is no "black and white ", ray.  The laws are what they are.  They've been put together based on our societal norms.  I don't know what else to tell you.  I find it difficult that you can't grasp these basic ideals.

I'm done with this.....just trying to link all the reasoning together as what appears to me to be a injustice to certain folk....
I am not condoning it, just trying to find a answer that appears to me a discrepancy of law.  

Again ray, I'm not sure why you have a tough time with this.  Do you somehow think that it's OK for a 10 year old to have sex with an adult, simply because that 10 year old says "yes"?

Do you also wonder why there are age limits on things like alcohol consumption, voting, driving, etc.?

If it was up to me I'd push abstinence as the only sure thing against being caught in a sexual compromise of self, or having to make the decision re: abortion....but temptation, regardless of influences is hard for everyone to overcome, which, brings us back to why the horn dawg needs to act like he/they, do....

It is about consent.

 I guess I'm not seeing where the connection of legalizing gay marriage can lead to pedophiles becoming a protected class.  This would require a lot of people being ok with child rape, and that isn't even close to the same thing as gay marriage or gender identity.  

 The primary difference I see is that the people that are not OK with transgender bathrooms etc. are protesting instead of creating legal structure to combat it.  The exact thing that worked to legalize it in the first place.
