    I’m having a hard time understanding who are you trying to disprove with this statement:

    Also adult men having sex with underage girls IS rape.

    I dont think OP even mentioned justifying rape. So what purpose do these straw men serve you?

        What we can say from this data is that 100% of the cases it studies are rape. This data does not count all rapes: It counts only those rapes that have resulted in pregnancy. It doesn’t count all teenage pregnancies: It doesn’t count a case where two adolescents agree to have sex, and that sex results in pregnancy.

        This particular data does not even support a claim that adults are having sex with children! That’s the problem I am talking about. You have to go outside this data to make any meaningful conclusion. That is how terrible this data is.
