Kerry notes that Garance Franke Ruta has proposed raising the age of consent for “providing erotic content on film” to 21. There’s a tiny part of me that half wants to see this happen just so I can watch the extent of GFR’s “That’s not what I meant!” freakout when some 21 year old woman makes a private tape with her 20-year-old live-in boyfriend and gets arrested for child pornography—as is basically inevitable, given the number of 20-ish couples who own digital cameras. Fortunately, it’s massively outweighed by the part of me that finds it repulsive to infantilize adults in this way.

We are all the children of the State; all pornography is child pornography.

I love people who can end articles with “There ought to be a law” without irony.
