The ironic thing is, the 'age of consent' crock is a load of bull that was inserted when lives became longer. It is only to make moralists happy, but when life expectancy was shorter, it was very common for even 9 and 10 years old to be married and have sex.
The fact there even IS an age of consent is just a sign of how pitifully repressed our society has become, is all.
The thing is, I agree that there should be some sort of 'age of consent' law, no matter what 'bullshit religion' imposed it on us. I mean, whether it should be 18, 16, or even 13 is debatable, but let's say, 5 year olds? Do you honestly thing 5 year olds should be having sex? :sweat: After all, I don't think "I'll give you some free candy if you let me stick this rod into the pooper!" should EVER constitute 'consent'.
And the fact that in Medieval Europe they 'had' to marry and fuck early has more to do with their stupidity than anything. Not the stupidity that they had to marry early, but that sleeping with animals under the same roof... oh, and that taking a bath is a big nonono "ZOMG!!! BLACK PLAUGEZ!!! MUS B BCUZ FRED DIDNT PRAY! KANT B THAT US DRANK FROM SAME WELLZ OR THATZ US B DIRTY!" :sweat:
And now that everyone is living longer, many people believe we have a population problem. Do you want all those kids screwing and having even more kids? I don' think so. Bad enough that we have rampant teen pregnancy. Want to exaserbate the problem with even younger mothers?
