Does it really derail a lot of kid's futures? This whole thread seems kind of weird to me. It's like you've dug up a bunch of arcane rules that nobody pays attention to and are saying it's a terrible problem. Is it?

Well considering I'm a 4th year soci major, you're on the right track.
Sex in the reproduction as gender is to sex (biological).
Reproduction is nothing more then that, an act which is used for biological advantage. Sex is the byproduct used from that act which elites have used to mold society into what they perceive is correct and a way which power relations can used to stratify groups and sexes. I don't want to go into an overly historical explanation here, but if you see all the differing sexual laws in the world even today, that has to tell you that there is no defined grasp on what sex truly is.
And it is a problem because these laws do exist and they are enforced. People can and have had their lives ruined by having sex with their future wives.
