The existence of smaller discussions is a prelude to larger discussions, as well as a place to hone arguments. I think we can all agree that there is a stigma on this topic, and any actual lawmaker would not entertain a discussion purely based on public consensus. Meaning, the public consensus needs to change first, which is what this is...

the only issue is that it's really an echo chamber here. So the benefit becomes in arming representatives of our argument when they go out in the world and try to make the points. Dont succum to pessimism, I think a majority of men are actually sympathetic to underage sex, but unable to publicly make such a declaration. These discussions are good for building confidence and making others know they arent alone.
