What do Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Austria, Portugal, and Hungary all have in common? They're European nations, and their respective statutory ages of consent are 14 years old. That is, if a 14-year-old girl dates an adult man who is in college in any of these countries, the police will not be getting involved in their personal lives. Chris Hansen wouldn't have much luck drawing an audience in these six nations.
In previous articles of mine, I've stressed that I do not wish to use the term "incel" or "incels" ever again, because those words come across to me as labels of shame that no man deserves. Therefore, I'm going to refer to adult men who have either never had a girlfriend or have had only a sparse amount of romance in their life as male spinsters for the purpose of this article, although I don't like using labels on anyone at all.
When a boy is in middle school and then high school, usually his parents and his other elders believe that he is being inundated with a plethora of opportunities to meet that one special girl who will give him the honor of being her first love. Unfortunately, pubescence and adolescence don't always play out that way. In fact, the teenage dating scene can become one massive popularity contest that only leads to broken hearts for the most part.
Once a young man graduates from high school, his chances of experiencing that first-love excitement begins to fade into thin air. After he turns 18, he must deal with the reality that if a girl that he meets and becomes intimately involved with is younger than the statutory age of consent, he may be confronted with the unjust, oppressive wrath of the law. The hypocrisy of it all is that police officers violate the statutory-rape laws more than anyone in any other profession.
Special-interests groups have weaponized the American statutory-rape laws so much throughout the decades that it's not even funny. You know that the prison-industrial complex also has to have a financial stake in it too. It's a colossal sham that does more harm than good to society.
Nevertheless, when you look at nations like Bulgaria, Italy, Austria, Germany, Portugal, and Hungary, you'll notice that they don't seem to have a male-spinsterhood problem inasmuch as they don't have laws that would prevent a young adult man from having a girlfriend in the high-school-age range.
Why are Americans too blind to see that lowering the statutory age of consent to 13 or 14 throughout every state and territory jurisdiction of the United States would likely remedy the epidemic of adult male virginity? Lawmakers should at least give minors veto power in their capacity as alleged "victims" in statutory-rape cases.
1. The Misconceptions About Male Spinsterhood
Once upon a time a YouTuber named Cole Hastings posted a video about the rise of male virginity and male spinsters. The way he delivered his presentation of this video was somewhat biased and elitist. Below is that same video.
Cole Hastings' Initial Narrative About Male Spinsters
Listening to the interview between Mr. Hastings and the elderly couple in the video above in which the husband talked about how nobody could get a job, buy a house, or even stay at a hotel unless they were married back in the day brings to mind how tyranically Francisco Franco presided over Spain throughout his lengthy dictatorship. Discriminating against civilians on the basis of their single marital status is a recipe for oppression.
I'm assuming that the elderly man was describing how American life was like back in the 1950s. I'm happy to say that that decade was before I was born and I didn't have to grow up in those times. I would not have liked it. Getting a crew cut periodically would have been enough of an aggravation for me.
Mr. Hastings recently admitted that he was wrong about male spinsters. Therefore, he put together a retraction in the form of a video about it to set the record straight, and, of course, he posted it. Below is that same video.
Cole Hastings Was Decent To Admit That He Was Wrong About Male Spinsters
I wish that more YouTubers were as brave as Mr. Hastings to admit that they were wrong about a topic. Unfortunately, we don't live in a culture where taking accountability is a responsible practice.
Nonetheless, this problem with male spinsterhood and social detachment among men is much more elaborate than anyone can imagine. It is true that many men who have given up on the dating scene are happier now than they were back when they were pursuing a girlfriend and a prospective wife. However, there are still men who feel nostalgic about missing out on that one first-love experience.
2. The Myth Regarding Power Differences
A sexual futuris named Steven Ing MFT has published an article on the Psychology Today website that describes how easy it is for a male spinster to gravitate toward underage girls. Now, I don't agree with all the contents of his article, but I don't disagree with all of them either.
I commend Mr. Ing for doing his homework and tailoring a strongly intellectual article about the topic of male spinsterhood and its effects. Therein he stated:
This explains why the incel may be constantly looking for something new, something more, something exotic—something, anything that's different. And this phenomenon, when combined with the fear of rejection by adult women, explains how some incels end up either looking at underage porn or approaching underage girls (or detectives posing as underage girls).
Presumably, Mr. Ing is referring to both pre-teenage and teenage girls who have an interest in the opposite gender. That's fine. He's probably right about what he states. At least he's not attempting to promote mendacious pedophile-panic propaganda. Where I have to chime in therein is the fact that nations that have statutory ages of consent no higher than 14 years of age don't seem to bestow the same number of problems on male spinsters that nations with higher statutory ages of consent do.
If an adult man in his twenties or older has never had a girlfriend or even been in the arms of a female, there is not going to be the threat of a power differential between him and a teenage girl still in high school. He will probably treat her much better than a boy her own age will do so.
Radical feminists will attack me for having published this article, but I have news for them. They're wrong about adult men being better off in same-age relationships. Watch the video below to see what I mean.
A Podcast Panel Dispels The Feminist Myths About Age-Gap Relationships
All right. I understand that one of the hosts on that same podcast wanted to keep the conversation restricted to the topic of age-gap relationships involving only adults above the statutory age of consent. In any event, let me ask this one pressing question of parents with teenage daughters. Would you prefer that your 14-year-old daughter date someone like the teenage boy in the video below?
A 14-Year-Old Boy Raped And Murdered An Elderly Woman
Radical feminists need to shut up about their rhetoric that teenage girls are so much better off with boys their own age, especially ones that are barely in their teenage years. Teenage boys are dangerous in this day and age, and they are no asset to these girls' lives.
Mr. Ing mentions how male spinsters should get therapy. Lowering the statutory ages of consent throughout the United States and its extended territories would make it easier for male spinsters to go to psychotherapists, because then they would not have to fear the mandatory reporting laws turning their therapists against them.
3. Final Thoughts
I don't understand why elected officials here in the United States continue to push the same policies regarding our sex laws across the land and expect different results. American statutory-rape laws in their current state deny that teenage sex does exist and mislead the public into believing that all cross-generational relationships that teenage girls get involved in have to be exploitative and wrong.
If self-proclaimed child advocates actually believe that older men are grooming teenage girls who are too young to vote and even too young to drive, prosecutors should have the burden of proving so. It should not be an automatic given in a court of law, because there appears to be no general consensus on what the definition of grooming is; and now Louisiana has passed an anti-grooming law that would give law-enforcement officials way too much leeway to fabricate stories about statutory-rape defendants that aren't even true.
The statutory ages of consent of 16, 17, and 18 are way too high. Young adult men are getting needlessly gang-raped in prison for doing the same things for which 14-, 15-, and 16-year-old boys would not be arrested.
If anybody still holds the dogmatic position that the United States has the best and fairest statutory-rape laws in the world, then I urge you to read the online publication titled The Paradox of Statutory Rape by Russell L. Christopher and Kathryn Hope Christopher from beginning to end. There are facts, and then there is fear.
