People under the age of majority can be sexual...

Anti age-gap arguments are really anti-youth arguments...

  • Against: The kids do not want it - Legal minors (who are supposedly too stupid to consent) are suddenly required to show enthusiasm for law reforms that antis dispute, but not ones that take their rights away.
  • Against: Teen brain - Ideas of a distinct, or inferior "teen brain" are value-laden, outdated western pseudoscience.
  • Against: Corresponding age attraction - Questions the assumption of a unique "childhood" or "between minors" sexual orientation.

Sexually repressing minors does not benefit them...

  • Against: Online dangers - The internet is generally not a dangerous place for minors.
  • Reverse sexualization - Popular acknowledgement of sexuality in nude photography is revealing.
  • Turn of events - How the reporting and prosecution of sex can change the perspective of a youth.
