I think the age of consent should be mu- lowered, I don’t even believe in the concept. You wanna know why? Because marriage is consent. You wanna know what’s wrong with sex? Being married means you consent to sex all the time. There’s no such thing as marital rape because when you marry a person you have a martial obligation to give your spouse sex whenever they want it. It’s literally Catholic doctrine so, you know, the only moral way to have sex is within marriage and the only way to get married is to consent to sex on demand - uh - and both partners agree to that, it’s their obligation, it’s a mortal sin to deny it. So that’s- that’s- how’s that for consent theory? That’s my… That’s my age of consent- that’s not age of consent, that’s age of marriage.
“Age of consent”. What is this? What is this? Christians have no use for such things. Christians have no use for such a concept - you get married. A Christian… A Christian doesn’t have sex with anybody, a Christian has sex with their spouse within marriage, and nobody is getting married at a prepubescent age. People get married when they’re at a reproductive age, when they’re adolescents… And so th- You know, I’m just redefining it.
According to estimates by Unchained At Last, between 2000 and 2018 almost 300K children were married in the United States. This included some children as young as 10 (p.5):
- 10-Year-Olds: 5 (<1%)
- 11-Year-Olds: 1 (<1%)
- 12-Year-Olds: 14 (<1%)
- 13-Year-Olds: 78 (<1%)
- 14-Year-Olds: 1,223 (<1%)
- 15-Year-Olds: 8,199 (4%)
- 16-Year-Olds: 63,956 (29%)
- 17-Year-Olds: 148,944 (67%)
As they explain on page 4, some states had missing data, so this is likely an underestimation.
My girlfriend married an adult at 17. Maybe it’s just a year in age, but it’s an important year. It’s the right to divorce. It’s the right to be your own legal representative without issue or questions. It’s the right to bank on your own. To rent on your own. It’s the freedom to leave.
Also what in the actual fuck is wrong with these people. Why do you want to have sex with teenagers and people who don’t want to have sex with you at the moment‽ I don’t stop at a no because I have to. I stop at a no because I want sex with me to always be a positive experience and because I don’t want anyone having sex they don’t want
I’m starting to think that Nick Fuentes might not be a good person.
Man it’s really a shame that people can make these kinds of statements and it’s not disqualifying in any way. This motherfucker should be getting an electric shock everytime he tries to use a communications device.
