I Question The Age Of Consent

Everything should be questioned.

There's a perfectly good reason to have AOCs but like all received wisdom it should be challenged and tested to see if it's still relevant. Maybe it is. But maybe it isn't.

Apart from anything else, it's so routinely and consensually flouted that having one is kind of silly.

I think it should be more of a range of consent as some areas are leaning more to...

Where say a 16 year old can give consent to someone in the 16-18 age ranges.

And 17 year old can give consent to someone in the 16-20 age range.

Then 18 is an adult and can give consent to 16-unlimited.

Then 19 is an adult and can give consent to 17-unlimited.

Etc...

Just that general startegy to give a range, which still makes it illegal for say 40 yes told person, even a late 20s person, from hooking up with a minor, but might let some people do stuff with people their own age.
