    There is no way to read this:

    Cody Wilson has been charged with hiring a “child” sex worker. Her age has not been announced, but I think she must surely be a teenager, not a child. Calling teenagers “children” in this context is a way of smearing people with normal sexual proclivities as “perverts”.

    that does not involve Stallman saying that having sex with minors is okay as long as they are mentally mature.

      I disagree. I think you’re reading into Stallman’s words what you want to see there.

      Stallman saying that having sex with minors is okay as long as they are mentally mature

      Stallman doesn’t say that.

      I don’t understand why you’re trying to tell me what Stallman is saying using different words when Stallman’s own words are right there.
