Some people had to be told not to murder. Some had to be told not to steal. Some had to be told to pay their workers.

It's a little anti-human to lump us all together without nuance. Would you feel better if the law didn't exist? I would love for us to not need that law because we do better, but I could say that about any law.

If you aren't interested in marrying children, then this post isn't talking about you.

Children of all genders are harmed by sexual predators and all genders can be sexual predators, not just men.

It's already ruffled some feathers lol

Newsflash guys: If you aren't marrying a child, this post isn't attacking you!

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

it is if you would hypothetically marry a child if it were not for laws against it 🤔

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago
