In my last post, I graphed the mathematical formula governing the social acceptability of age disparities in romantic relationships. Not knowing how to live in moderation, I opened up that nifty graphing program and made a graph of my state’s statutory rape laws.
Superimposing the two graphs on top of each other, we can clearly see that there are many relationships that are both legal and acceptable, many that are legal but unacceptable, many that are illegal and unacceptable, and, unfortunately, some that are both illegal and unacceptable.
Beware.

I have a friend who dances on the illegal but acceptable line. -_-;
Also, nice graphs…but be careful or you’ll become the male equivalent of a crazy cat lady.
