It should be raised to 18 like in most Australian states. Maybe when I was 16 I would of cared about it being raised.
But then you have the age of criminal responsibility https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Criminal_age.svg/1920px-Criminal_age.svg.png
On one hand you're deemed responsible enough to get charged with a crime at 12 for instance, but not responsible enough to make a decision about your sex life
That's how those faggots get their point across, that's where they want to get at, every single time, I've seen this movie before
I can see a good argument for the age of criminal responsibility being lower (12) than for sex (16-18 depending on jurisdiction) because the competency bar you need to clear is lower. I know there's a host of regulatory bloat, but at a basic level for not becoming a criminal it's "Don't initiate violence or steal". Not very complicated. Whereas for sex it's understanding how to identify virtue in a potential partner, understanding how to balance reason vs hormones, understanding the marriage and teamwork required to raise a child, understanding how to use birth control effectively, etc. It's similar to how the requirements for a basic drivers license are lower than a commercial drivers license because changing lanes in a Civic is a whole lot less complex and risky than doing the same in an 80,000 lb semi.
Now that I look at it that way, I think there's a pretty good argument for raising the age of consent even higher because I'm not very confident in 18 years to be able to accomplish that. Maybe 25? Shit, maybe even a mandatory "are you a fricking retard" test to ever be able to give consent because I know grown adults who can't accomplish that level of partner evaluation at 50.
>the competency bar you need to clear is lower.
What?
You're going to tell me it takes more competency to say "buttsex yes" than to commit a federal crime such as computer crime or carjacking?
I don't think so
> In the United States the age varies between states, being as low as 6 years in South Carolina and 7 years in 35 states; 11 years is the minimum age for federal crimes.[citation needed]
When you put it like that, Yeah it is a slippery slope into next thing pedos are getting away with their crimes.
Married women should have sex with their husbands. The marriage age should probably be 16.
Unmarried women who reach a certain age (21?) should be spayed and then allowed to serve as prostitutes.
Women who aren't married or spayed should not be having sex.
