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.

@Court69 and across Europe used to be younger eg medieval times women were married by 12

@Court69 not for a long long time in the US. later in the south than the north and MOST of that was in reference to marriage, with parental consent. not merely sex. most us states have had 18 for a long time, a few have 16.

age is no respector of readiness. I was "ready" at 13

@Dshhh that is true they weren’t given a choice really

@QuietEd2019 women, for a LONG time on ALL continents have historically had little say in their own lives.
they were chattel property, used to enrich fathers, and seal political deals.

@Dshhh unfortunately yes terrible trait in patriarchal society
