Once you start to see the rainbow of critical thought, it becomes incredibly frustrating to speak with someone who can only communicate in black and white.

This particular case may or may not apply, but in almost all situations in life there is far more to the story and context than numbers. Things like psychology, chemistry, personal and interpersonal dynamics, personal and interpersonal ethics, education, subjective maturity, etc. all contribute to what can be described as a consenting relationship.

I think the words rape, pervert, and to a small extent legitimate are being thrown around rather heavily and with some measure of miscommunication. I would caution anyone using those terms here be very careful about labeling and accusing. That is dangerous ground to walk on.

There are also certain arguments being manufactured and placed in the mouth's of certain posters. Oling_Roachinen I understand your position and opinion, although I strongly disagree with its oversimplification and rigidness, and the method you are going about arguing it. Cecil has not made many of the statements or even implied arguments you are suggesting. From what the poster has said I would never think to so aggressively convict him as a perverted, sicko, rape apologist.

All Cecil has suggested is that in any case, there is far more to consider than just a disparity in numbers. And I agree.
