Asking Adults for a Little Care when Having Sex is Not Radical Feminism
I have a daughter in elementary school and I can report that ten year old bodies vary crazily- some are obviously in the middle of puberty, others are very childlike still. But a 10 year old is a ten year old, worthy and deserving of collective adult protection no matter how she dresses or acts. In any case, a man who opportunistically grabs sex from even an ersatz 16 year old in the park is a menace and should be locked up. It's not too much for society to ask a man to care enough about the person on the other end of his penis that he might ask himself if sex with her would be at least ethical and safe, if not legal.
