10. So statutory rape is cool?

The right winger was saying that it was, giving an example of a 19 year old with a 17 year old. That's so dishonest. It's not representative of all statutory rape. Most people would agree on the 19 year old with the 17 year old usually being milder than a so-called "forcible rape". But what about a 14 year old with a 30 year old? How is that not as bad as a forcible rape because it almost automatically implies coercion whether psychological or physical.
