Re: age of consent

Um, it's illegal probably nowhere except crazy countries for two sixteen year olds to have sex. Age of consent means that a forty year old doesn't get to have sex with that sixteen year old, though. And I'm okay with that.

tbh 18 is a very good age of consent, in terms of psychological (and physical) development.

The impression that I get from these debates, frankly, is that a lot of people think that age of consent means "the age when you can have sex", and a lot of other people think that age of consent means "the age when people of any age can have sex with you". And I don't want to make any assumptions, but it really feels like the former group is people from most of the world, and the latter group is mostly American.

Not saying either is right (although I'll admit that the first version is a bit more intuitive even though I'm American). Just seems like it's mostly a semantic argument between people who actually agree on pretty much everything else.

Does age of consent not mean "the age when adults can have sex with you" anywhere? I mean, I'm pretty sure that's the legal (and enforced) definition, and a lot of people just don't understand it because the phrase alone can be misleading.

I don't know. I don't really know about consent laws around the world.

I've just noticed that, in previous discussions about this, there seem to be a lot of people whose response to "The age of consent is 18" seems to be "Well, are you saying two 16 year olds can't have sex?" or something to that effect.

SA - see, for instance, the comment right below this one where someone says exactly this!

In the UK the age of consent is 16, but a underage boy can get charged with statutory rape for having sex with an underage girl even if he's younger than she is.

That's really fucked up.

I mean wow...what if an underage girl rapes an underage boy, then shows proof of it. That would mean a rape victim getting accused of raping their attacker.

Except that in most of the US the age of consent is lower than 18, I think 16 is the most common AoC in the states
