Age of consent??

i started young but i think age of consent laws should be consistent across a country.

It is definitely not so high as twenty-one in Washington or anywhere else in the United States, and laws arguably appearing irrational doesn't actually make them "not set in stone". But yeah, all the same, I'll agree it could be less-insane. The thing is it basically works well enough in most places, and since there really isn't any obvious "best way" to draw the line, the argument for putting any effort into changing that shit up once it's on the books is not easily made.

in my state, going to meet someone under 18 is against the law too.
I think there's a federal law also that prohibits traveling to another country for sex with a younger person
