In reply to the discussion: What Consenting Adults Do In Private Is Their Own Business. Period. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)80. I think the OP was referring to mutual agreement by two human beings.

Is it black and white? Yes. You yourself do a disservice to both child abuse victims & rape victims

That's a very good point and I also think that the OP is a good point. This is the grey area.

So women who have been abused are children, unable to ever make decisions about their own lives?
