You DO realize that much of human culture and ceremony is about exactly that, right? Like… “debutante balls” and the like are literally “yo, my daughter is legal so who wants to fuck her?”. That is also, largely, the basis for the concept of “grooming”
That’s a pretty screwed up way to view society.
‘Debutante balls’, at the least the ones I know, are usual events where teenagers dance with partners of the SAME age.
This is more an elitist networking event with the chance to get your offspring to hook up with someone of ‘suitable’ social status.
Historically speaking, the age gaps might have been a lot bigger, but I guess societal norms and laws were also different then.
Of you course you can’t avoid older people on the sidelines ogling, but presenting that as the main purpose of the event is a pretty big stretch imho.
And regarding grooming: that’s not the typical definition, either. Usually grooming is a tactic to make the abuse victim accepting of their abuse. Waiting for them to reach legal age before ‘cashing in’ on that effort is not a usual part of it.
I agree it might be a hypothetical scenario though, that could be played out to do some really fucked up manipulation long game, while staying within a legal framework. But then again, that doesn’t strictly require the predator and victim to be related and if you want to have a way to abolish that, it shouldn’t need to rely on that either.
I once went to a convention that was double booked with a Jewish youth convention. It was pretty obvious the whole thing was for having Jewish kids hook up with each other. Also, lots of Youth IDF shirts if you wanted to know for sure what flavor of Judaism was there. I have nothing but respect for anti war Jews.
