Interesting. I feel like I upvote a lot of the same stuff that gets popular.
Maybe its related to my discussion about the origin of autism and that its not related to vaccines.
For anyone who cares: It's being a 35+ year old male trying to conceive. Age of the woman correlates to other genetic problems (not Autism). Autism and old fathers correlate extremely closely and the rates skyrocket past that age. The rest is just genetic. Sperm might as well be curdled at that point.
Edit: Children don't develop the mental faculties that autism affects, until they're 1.5-2 years old. So it wont be noticable (without genetic testing) until then. Since most kids get vaccinated around 1 years old, people jump to blaming that. Because clearly I can't be at fault for my childrens problems. I'm not at fault for waiting too long, having poor genetics or sheer fucking random chance.
Get your kids tested in the womb people. Also have kids when your in your early 20s. Young women arent the only component to healthy children. Both parents need to be young.

You’ve probably been downvoted for having an intelligent opinion instead of jumping on the conspiracy hivemind wagon.

Absolutely correct. Females and males are built to perform by age 14, sometimes younger. In the swamps of Louisiana, parents often understand and just let the young'uns run free. My nephew was born when my sis was 14 and he turned out vigorous. People hold off for social reasons, not natural reasons.
You sound like a troll. But just in case you're actually serious. /Poe'sLaw
Those social reasons are important. Its developmentally and potentially psychologically damaging for kids to have children at those ages. Thats why those social reasons developed. We ended up with fucked up parents and children.
Early 20s should be the earliest. Be responsible. Dont jump into it, but dont wait forever. To early or too late are both bad.
Moderation in all things, including moderation.
Am serious. Young parents get surrounded by support from both sides. In other cultures, families go up to great-great grandparents, but not if folks wait until they're 30 to breed.
In Britain, when I was there, adulthood was for all legal purposes, age 16 and still might be. One northern country (Iceland I recall) declared people independent at 14, and required parents to add an extra outer door to the mini-apartment part of the home to give the young'uns true independence to come and go as they pleased. That was 1970's-1980's. Not sure what fucking government mandates are doing to formerly free people.
Also, ask yourself this simple question: Who owns your life? If your answer is anything other than that you own your life, then we have bigger disagreements than mere age of consent.
