Here’s a sampling of what Aella, a key organizer of Slutcon and a fixture of the rationalist/AI safety social scene, has said previously on Twitter about rape, teenagers and consent, and power imbalances in sexual situations:

Those laws seem fairly well worked out in most states. Most people don't really need to worry about them. 19 and 17? Fine. 39 and 17? Not fine at all.

What makes this super weird (and disturbing) is that this is pretty obviously *not* a "quirk." It's an attempt to deal with the self-evident power dynamics involved with any significant kind of age difference, as any normal person should be prepared to concede.

Dunno why, but the only time I find myself deeply contemplating those laws it’s when I encounter someone with various ages of consent both memorized and constantly front-of-mind And my contemplation is that they clearly aren’t strict enough

I'm much older than this berk and neither I nor any of my peers ever experienced catcalling as a compliment. It was always associated with aggressive creepy men (and the implication that you maybe weren't modest enough / out at the wrong time/place / men gonna be men so protect yourself ladies!)

My mother did insist to me that catcalling was a compliment, as was the time she was felt up by a hairdresser while obviously traumatised by it, and defending my DV perpetrator father, her sisters' various DV perpetrating husbands, etc, & bitterly blaming women. Denial made her feel better I guess.
