Buck, I am hoping your shock is a misunderstanding of what Obdicut means by consent.

It might be that we are both using the same word, and it means something different to each of us.

For me, consent means gives permission. You might say that I am being “obtuse” or “splitting hairs” but I have two daughters. I know something about young children. I do not, for one second, believe that they can give p[permission for this. You and Obdicut might keep walking it back. But saying “gives consent, but it does not count” means to me “does not give consent”

Consent means something. It is not meaningless.

If the consent is meaningless, then why say it is consent?

There is a lot of discussion about rape and consent above. I ask that you read it.
