A minor is still a minor, no matter how “grown” they look, no matter how confidently they act, no matter what people think they saw in a video.
What happened recently with that 16-year-old boy and the 33-year-old woman has exposed something ugly in our society:
We protect girls, but when the victim is a boy, we laugh.
We make jokes.
We call it “enjoyment” instead of what it really is..... abuse.

And that mindset is dangerous.

It's very dangerous and we really need to work on this.

Because the moment we start romanticizing abuse, the moment we start saying “boys are lucky,” we become the very society that fails its children.
A minor cannot legally consent.
A minor cannot emotionally understand the long-term impact.
A minor is a child, and children deserve protection, not applause for their trauma.

It's more sad when it's men applauding the boy say:

"WOW he's experienced"
"He learnt well"
"He's gonna be a great man, when he grows up"
"This is simply enjoyment for him"

The list goes on and it's not pleasant.

This boy was used for pleasure by the woman, this boy is clearly still a minor. He looks experienced so people say, but he's not. He's just a kid, unfortunately he's been exposed to the wrong side of life.

Look all I'm saying is Abuse is abuse..... no matter the gender, no matter the situation.
When we stop romanticizing harm, we finally start protecting our children.

Please let's do better, let's protect these kids. Sexual assaults on kids needs to end, we need to end this cycle. Whether it's a man or woman, or a little boy or girl. No means no, kids are not toys to be played with.

They are not meant to satisfy anyone's needs okay.

Let kids be kids, and let's them enjoy their childhood, not destroy it.
