ORIGINAL: Llyren No offense to any 20 year olds, but for the most part, they're not able to make really good decisions, having just been teenagers very recently, and as such are easy prey for men old enough to be their fathers. So, fleshing out which people should be allowed to make adult decisions (when it come to relationships, that is. If they want to die for their country, vote for their president, watch an R-rated movie...that's fine, though): nobody under 21 is allowed to involve themselves in any relationships with anyone that could biologically be their father. Let's be liberal with numbers and assume that could be a 15 year gap. So, Anyone 20 or under may not be in a relationships with someone 35 or over. Got it. quote:
ORIGINAL: Llyren Yes, we do things, or in my case want to do things, that others would view as abhorrent. Yes, we consent to them. Because we are over 20, dating people who are less that 15 years our senior. Got it. quote:
ORIGINAL: Llyren But the point I think you're forgetting, with all due respect, NZ, is that she consented -because- she thought he cared for her, was wanting what was best for her, and perhaps loved her. Okay. So, for those of us over 20, so long as we can have the predisposition to project expectations onto other people or believe that our interpretations of "being cared for" and "wanting the best" and "loving" were not matching to those of the partner we have already left, we can still be post hoc victims of manipulation. Furthermore, this can stretch into willful delusion of things as the acts are happening. If I am in a relationship with a pacifist, whom I love and presume to be loved by, and xhe asks me to kill hir neighbor, I can, after commiting the crime, say I was being manipulated by the presumption that xhe did not condone violence. Got it. quote:
ORIGINAL: Llyren I'm not going to let a random stranger have the same liberties with my mind and heart and body that I would someone with whom I was involved. So, how much relationship time would I have needed to have spent with this pacifist to qualify for "manipulation" coverage? quote:
ORIGINAL: Llyren That is where it turns into something very, very wrong, and very non-consensual. She thought she was obeying someone who loved her, and wanted her as his own precious possession. She was in fact being used by a callous freak who should be emasculated on pay-per-view. Ah. I see. I can, furthermore, waive my retroactive consent as part of the "manipulation package" if enough of these criteria are met in conjunction! How does that works as a dominant, though? Maybe I could claim manipulation if I demand things of hir presuming that xhe wants me to show such an authority dynamic, because I think xhe loves me and wants me as hir precious controller and then, once we are no longer together and she actually says xhe never wanted to do any of those thing, I can claim that I was manipulated into demanding things because I thought that's what xhe wanted! It all makes sense now! .... ....wait...
