  • I agree, but -

    The thing about Age of Consent laws is that a case will never stand up in court unless the victim testifies. Even if a 50-y/o man is sleeping with a 14 y/o girl, it’s practically impossible to prove criminality unless the victim testifies in court against him (and even then, there’s a good chance that the judge will throw out the case anyways).

    I think men that are paranoid about the legality of age gaps in relationships are either (1). Worried because they are taking advantage of young girls and think they would testify in court against then given the chance, or (2). Are more worried about what their social circles would think of them than a court of law.












  • The origin of “Maoism” as it’s used today goes back to China after Mao’s death, where there was a power struggle between those who stuck closer to Mao’s teachings (Peasant Democracy and political education/activism) and the more Technocratic, economically liberal elements.

    In reality, the result was that moderates took power and did their best to appease both sides; but to the Maoists, they believe that after Mao’s death China fell to Liberal revisionism and the Gang of Four, the leaders of the Maoist movement, were exiled.

    Maoism was popularized outside of China by Peru’s Shining Path, led by Chairman Gonzalo.
