>You call that ass curveless?
Are you kidding me? That's literally a child's butt.

>girls are biologically fertile from around 13 years of age
First of all, do you know for a fact she's 13 or older? But more importantly over-arching medians vary on an individual basis, my sister is 14 and hasn't gotten her first period, others get it at 9 or 10. Whatever the case is, she doesn't look pubescent, and even if she is, she is certainly not at an appropriate age to bear children and the pregnancy would have complications. Did you know most children of teenage pregnancies are born premature? I know because I'm one and I had to spend 2 months in the hospital in an incubator before I could go home. And my mother was 15, imagine a barely pubescent child.

>> No.10340209

>>10340199
So do many women with wide hips. Arbitrary complication of human evolution.

>>10340200
She looks older to me. Regardless even accepting all you say as correct that is all simply in the purview of when are optimum and less optimal times to have children. There are plenty of issues associated with older women pregnancies too. To call it outright immoral on that basis however is ridiculous when there is nothing inherently stopping a girl like that having a healthy beautiful child after I inject her with my seed.

>> No.10340232

Invisible Cities

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.

Sure but thats their lot and this is my lot. My point is anyone with sense has to see the differene between what is immoral and what ought be illegal. There's nothing immoral in being attracted to teenage girls but I totally support a standard age of consent as a means for fathers to protect their daughters

>> No.10340283

>>10340271
I wouldnt say it is immoral so much as unwise. I could barely relate to teenagers when i was one and now the distance is impassable. To create a totally useless social organization based on lust (and a much higher incidence of a fatal delivery in case of pregnancy) would be foolish. We have to recognize that the law is also there to protect people from themselves.

The terms fit. You feel abandoned (disenfranchised) by society because you have projected feelings you have about your parents (likely your father but also your mother) onto authority in general. Your rationalization of this is but a symptom. You really need psychotherapy.

I've been under psychoanalytic therapy for years already. My opinion of older women has only got significantly worse not better during this time and sure why not, I see nothing in psychology to suggest why I should find the moribund resentment of women past their bright years attractive as much as they would like me to.

Though thy Glass to day be run,
Till the Light that hath brough the Towers low
Find the last poor Pret’rite one…
Till the Riders sleep by ev’ry road,
All through our crippl’d Zone,
With a face on ev’ry mountainside,
And a soul in ev’ry stone…

Anyone have an idea what the significance of this last song/poem is? "And a soul in ev’ry stone" always gets me.
