what I'm proposing is a way to keep gross power and maturity imbalances out of the relationships of young people.
I saw loads of underage teenage girls hooking up with guys in at least their mid-twenties at raves 20 or so years ago. The mechanism that created that environment was they didn't card anyone entering. You didn't used to have to be 18 to enter. They made a rule where you have to be 18 to enter and that resolved that issue.
It seems the easiest way to solve that is by keeping those age groups apart coupled with people thinking it's wrong for their to be gross power and maturity imbalances.
So, with what I proposed it would be acceptable for a 16 year old to hook up with a 20 year old and a 19 year old to hook up with a 23 year old but not a 16 year old to hook up with a 23 year old not an 18 year old with a 50 year old.
I'm proposing rules that reflect contemporary social standards that would in turn normalize those social standards.
Where some dude says, "whoa look how hot that 18 year old is" and another dude says, "yeah, but can you imagine dealing with how immature she is?" and the first dude says, "hell no!" I want that to be considered normal.
The idea is that when people have interactions where there is a huge age gap and one of those people is under a certain age getting laid is already taken off the table as a consideration rather than that being the end goal that seems to be considered normal. There's no nudge nudge wink wink by other people. It's where the younger persons desire to be sexually objectified is seen as an annoyance by the older person. I want that to be normal, like it's depicted in, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
