#性的同意年齢 今は13歳以上との性行為が合法であっても、社会は時代の要請に応え倫理をアップデートし、それを法に反映する努力をしなくてはならないと思う。だからその前段として「いくら百年以上前の法律で合法であっても法律上の”児童”と性行為に及ぶ成人は鬼畜」という集団認識を社会が持たねば。
#SexualConsent "Even if it is now legal to have sex with persons 13 years of age or older, society must update its ethics in response to the demands of the times and make efforts to reflect this in the law." 1/
"As a first step, society must have a collective awareness that adults who engage in sexual acts with legal "children" are animals, no matter how legal the law was more than a hundred years ago. (which is a reality in Japan. the under-ages sex law is more than 110 years old)" /2
Japan’s age of #sexualconsent is 13. THIRTEEN. It’s been so for hundred years. Do you think a 13-year-old can make informed judgment when it comes to sex? If not, sign the petition to protect their rights: Raise age of consent in Japan! chng.it/jm52KtKG via @change_jp
This outdated law has been favored by the perpetrators rather than their victims. Because of this statute, a boy or girl not reaching puberty yet is considered to have the ‘ability’ to say no to adult perpetrators of physically resist them if they are willing to. Well, can they?
Most probably no because the adult has power over them, especially if the victim like them. The adult can easily abuse this and take advantage. What protection is there for these low-teens? When they’re raped, they’d be considered to have the ‘ability’ to resist. Can they?
