If Kids Can’t Consent, Stop Pushing Sex And Birth Control On Them In Grade School

I find myself extremely confused with the Left’s sexual ethics. That’s probably because they have no sexual ethics. They appear to make it up as they go, vacillating between extremes and every once in a while landing on the correct answer when the correct answer happens to be convenient.

They have conveniently landed on the correct answer with the Roy Moore story. I don’t know if the accusations themselves are true, but it is true that a grown man who fondles a 14-year-old girl is a scumbag and a predator. Anyone guilty of this crime should be in prison. The operative word here, of course, is “guilty.” I don’t know if that word describes Roy Moore. I cannot say that it does. Neither can I say definitively, as many on the Right have, that it does not.

So, leaving aside the veracity of the allegations, I’d like to focus on a different but related phenomenon: It seems that liberals have suddenly discovered a passion for protecting the sexual innocence of children. Indeed, we’ve been reminded again and again over the past week that “14-year-olds can’t consent.” When it was perceived by some that Sean Hannity called Moore’s alleged rendezvous with a minor “consensual,” the Left pounced, insisting (accurately) that a child is not capable of entering into a truly consensual sexual relationship. They promptly began a #MeAt14 campaign on Twitter, which was meant to highlight the “vulnerability and innocence” teenagers.

The motto has been repeated in outraged tones thousands of times since the Moore story broke: Children are children. They can’t consent to sex.

I agree with their motto completely. But since when do they agree with it? Is their sudden opposition to childhood sexualization kind of like their sudden conviction that rape accusers should be believed — right after they twice made an alleged rapist president and then tried to put his wife, who allegedly intimidated the victims, in the White House after him?
