I'm sick because I don't want to go back to social values of the past like 11 year old AOC laws?

Why do you think social conservatives are OK with every single law that existed in every single state 100-200 years ago when we are talking about specific sexual issues that we are against today? How many social conservatives, when lamenting the hyper sexuality of this age, are specifically complaining about age of consent laws?

I think you are taking one issue that is not much discussed at all (except in the context of fornication and sexual abuse, in which the abuser is condemned by social conservatives) to attack social conservatives on a larger ideology of sexual conservatism, or biblical sexual morality.

AOC laws are intended to prevent the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and teens that are not intellectually, emotionally, or physically ready to engage in sexual relationships with more mature adults. The hyper sexualized culture we live in combined with the complete lack of necessity or urgency to marry young simply for procreative purposes means that moving to a younger AOC is likely only done to allow for perverts to take advantage of immature children and teens, which was not the intention of younger AOC laws in our history where marriage was expected and divorce not common.
