re: Thoughts on age of consent

there are a lot of 18 year olds still in high school

My grandmother was 14 when she got married. Had 4 kids and lived to 85. My grandfather died 30 something years earlier than she did.


16 isn't ready for that today. Unless YouTube and TikTok can guide them.

Well, biologically we mature much younger than the age of consent. There are 14 year old girls that easily pass to be "of age" in the looks department.

I don't know where to draw the line, but I don't think the government has any moral authority to draw the line for us. I personally don't know where that line should be drawn and I feel it varies from person to person. So, I disagree with a blanket age, I also don't know of a fool proof solution to ensure everyone can consent. I think this is best left to the parents and individual involved.

By no way am I saying 14 is appropriate to be the age of consent, just some 14 year old's are indistinguishable from a 20 year old in body composition and biological function.

Kids are getting more immature, so if anything it should go up from 18.

I assume that eventually we will move to age of consent now based on "nature".

If nature allows you create a child, then you are ready to create a child.... it's your body....no "conservative oppression" telling you to "wait until we are comfortable with the idea of you having sex with your body"

So it'll it will be like circumcision, a bar mitzvah/bah mitzvah age of consent, type movement in the next 5-20 years

We already have a major movement here in America arguing that children have the metal capacity to consent to altering their birth sex. As this becomes the norm, it won’t be long until the next step is taken where they argued if kids can consent to something as transforming their sex, they can also to consent to other matters of sexuality. For years we’ve been told the slippery slope isn’t real. That’s a lie.

Think a good rule of thumb is once you are finished with high school you have about a 1-2 year grace period. After that HS girls are a no go. Or not Idc

Half your age + 7, that’s the rule.

What's that Arky motto? "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed?"

It should be within 2 years of each other until after 18 is my opinion.

Society will not let you drink until 21, buy tobacco, vote or join the military until 18 or drive until 16, yet it has no problem with a 14 year old getting knocked up and killing said offspring (something that will mess them up mentally for the rest of their life and possibly cause physical pain after the “procedure”) and no problem with same 14 year old contracting and spreading STD’s. At least let them dip some Skoal and drink a White Claw and drive to the store to buy it at 14 if you are good with all of the consequences brought on with age of consent at that age.
