  Here I was picking up rj's formulation "non-consenting", I did not present 
  any kind of "concept". Please note that I didn't write "impossible" but "more 
  difficult". To me it makes a difference, whether, say, somebody fucks a 5 year 
  old girl, he/she hired on the black market or  - & stuff like that happens   
  empirically - a 12 year boy seduces his teacher. Watch also that, these days, 
  "childhood" is, in many ways, a "moving target", too. And it's not that simple 
  that bad old capitalism is ruining the shelter place "childhood". It's much 
  more difficult. These days most children can't wait to become, well, "young 
  persons" or something. And though personally I'm not fond of this at all, it 
  is understandable. We're not in the 19th century anymore. Hell on Earth ...

  In case someone would touch my little daughter the wrong way, I'd - at least - 
  hit him/her hard in the face twice.
