Getting right wingers to debate the age of consent is a psyop and a gayop so of course right wingers trip over themselves to be the first to fall for it.

Hey... I just love learning different opinions, as well as learning to express mine. But this question is one huge emotional minefield.
@sickburnbro @borzoi

What is a society? Immagine one person. Is he in a society? no.
Add another person. both hate eachother, so they move away from each other. Are they in society? no.
If they like each other, they can start communicating, hunting together etc. Both are gaining benefit from their interactions.
Society was created. Now, was there a purpose to this? That would be extremely utilitarian look at 2 people enjoying each others presence and I refuse this framing.

Now that is a great jump in logic.
Yes, I live in a society 
so?

@LukeAlmighty We live in a Gesellschaft. We are able to have constructive social interactions with strangers, because we all adhere to common patterns and standards of behaviour. One of these standards is ‘don’t rape kids’. If we only lived in a Gemeinschaft, then perhaps we could afford to judge things on a case by case basis and distinguish creepy predation of impressionable children from getting an early start in healthy family formation. That requires personal and particular knowledge that is unavailable in Gesellschaft, so we have to resort to hard and bright lines like ‘the age of consent is 17’.
@LukeAlmighty I was responding to the “Yes, I live in a society so?” thread of conversation, introducing Max Weber’s definition of society/Gesellschaft and trying to show how, with that definition, the statement “We live in a society” becomes meaningful to the topic at hand.
