Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

It would be equally valid to claim that pubic hair, or menstruation, or any other adult trait is the only one that matters.

This is exactly what you're proposing by claiming that the Tanner Scale is the only determinant. Like really, exactly this. It's beautiful how you're debunking yourself.

Do you know how many factors are considered when calculating the Tanner Scale?

It is a complex and comprehensive measure of puberty.

Puberty is what makes us adults.

The fact that you can deny that with a straight face is amazing.

Your position, that puberty is irrelevant, and the only thing that makes humans adults is a vague kind of "maturity" measured only by minute changes in the least-understood organ in the human body, is appallingly stupid.

Like, I can't believe that you're not just trolling me. How on earth can you claim something so obviously not true?

I'm blocking you. Rethink your life. You don't have to be a useless blockhead troll forever.

Do you?

  1. Male genital size
  2. Female breast size
  3. Pubic hair

That's it.
