(discovered on The Age website)

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Megan Wegan,
are you suggesting your femininity invalidates my masculinity?

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Emma Hart,
Is a list of feminine things.
i wish to disagree that smoking is "feminine".
my other opinions about cancer sticks i will largely keep to myself.

Hardest conversation I’ve ever had.
i can imagine.
an ex-colleague had the same conversation with his 15yo son, who had come to ask his parents approval to start said same with his same-age GF. they thought about it and said no.
almost immediately put the child on the “wrong track”, leading to all sorts of unhelpful behaviour. it’s a big, big stage in someone’s life.
relating back to the context of this thread, it certainly makes you aware that if it’s acted out in the wrong way it can have life-long repercussions.

i’ll reserve opinion considering the source of the info.
i will however state that my impending dotage currently makes me view 18-20yos as “children”. i see students wandering about town holding hands and almost always think, “they can’t possibly be old enough!”
oh, and, </get off my lawn>

Most young people make their own decisions about when they are ‘ready’ to have sex, regardless of legislation
i've been doing reading on a related topic for work. the average age of sexual debut is decreasing year on year.
currently around 13 or 14 in relevant countries (e.g. UK, NZL, Aust).

They should not do so.
yeah, that is what i thought i remembered reading.
this circle of conversation keeps coming back to 'enabling' for me. people sometimes do violent things like rape, people sometime do stupid things like their their genitals thing for them, and people sometimes do betrayal by cheating.
those things are all on a continuum from 'WTF' to 'wtf...', but what they all have in common is that if you're the person standing by and letting that happen, you need to take a look at yourself.
