The name of the site, "Define Statutory," suggests that the site owners may have been trying to make a point. For instance, maybe the site is against the concept of putting someone in jail for having consensual sex with a partner who happens to be below an arbitrarily determined age of consent. <br><br>This article doesn't do anything but malign the site and its creators on very superficial grounds. Maybe it was a stupid site. Maybe not. Based on this article, it's impossible to tell. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Coop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 10th 2009 2:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Students Create 'Pro-Rape' Facebook Group]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</guid><description><![CDATA[Coop, I don't think it was entirely against conflicting statutory ages per se. I think they crossed the fine line between arguing freedom of what the government says is an illegal relationship. It's not entirely about where laws meet society and ever changing social norms.<br><br>I'm married to a younger woman. She is 27 and I am 37. At our current ages, the relationship is more than acceptable. However, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, if our relationship started 10 years prior, it would be considered illegal unless her parents consented. Now where a 10 year age difference may seem a lot, what about an 19 year old dating a 16 year old? That isn't by any means a large age gap. However, why in some states that considered illegal? Now, don't get me wrong. Women under the age of 15, there shouldn't be a discussion, if your 18+, stay away. However, I think mentally 16yr old women are capable of making consent in dealing with relationships. I met my wife when she was 25, while she was definitely more mature than 17, cognitively she was the same. <br><br>I think these guys missed proving a point and just used that issue as a facade for some sort of sick joke or even worse, an intent to rape.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MadMike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 10th 2009 3:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Students Create 'Pro-Rape' Facebook Group]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</guid><description><![CDATA[i agree. that's one reason i don't read Switched all that much. A LOT of the articles are written in this manor. they take a side and then leave out the details that would allow the reader to make their own decisions on the matter. though at the same time, i guess it is a blog and not a news site, so the author is allowed to opinionated if they want. doesn't help the reader much though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 10th 2009 3:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Students Create 'Pro-Rape' Facebook Group]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/students-create-pro-rape-facebook-group/</guid><description><![CDATA[Try it with MY young daughter.
