A dream come true for many boys. Women can't relate to that so they find it disgusting and creepy.

It is to who, the 12 year old?
I wonder if it was a 30 year old man with 12 year old girl, would people still defend it like this?
Clearly not, since people voted to make age of consent laws specifically for girls.
Courts ruled it had to go both ways.
16 isn't much older than 14.
So we shouldn't have equal rights?
Plenty of teenage girls sleep with their teachers.
this idea was also on my mind long time ago
Most people have heard of William Shakespeare's work "Romeo and Juliet".However, most people dont know that Juliet was 14 while Romeo was considered much older.They end up killing themselves because their families dont approve of their love.
not a lot of families then or now would approve of a couple of teenagers getting married after less than 24 hours.
not a lot of families then or now would approve of a couple of teenagers getting married after less than 24 hours.The biggest issue was that families didnt get along, so they didnt want to ever approve of such relationship. I dont really hold a view that family should meddle in who marries who. Otherwise, might as well go back to arranged marriages.
Besides, at the time the work was written, 14 was considered adult.
16 isn't much older than 14.The actual age of Romeo is never mentioned in the work. The age of Juliet is described as "she just turned 14".But judging by Romeo's actions, I realized he is probably much older than 14.
Families shouldn't meddle but they do, they always have and they always will...opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.
What was your point in saying "Juliet was 14 while Romeo was considered much older.", are you saying you have an opinion about that?
In the Shakespear's original story Romeo is 16 and Juliet's age is described as "not yet 14", she is still 13.
Shakespeare didnt mention the age of Romeo
Arthur Brooke did, and he was 16
