I’ve thought about this a lot, and I think the age of majority should be 21 years old and the age of consent should be 25 years old.
18 is too young to be legally an “adult”; they’re still in high school most of the time. I think 21 is a better age; they are in their 20s, so not a “teenager” or a “child”. At that age you can sign up for the military, join the police force, or become a firefighter. Handle your own finances, sign a lease, etc.
I think 21 is good for the age of consent as well because if you are adult enough to join the military then you are old enough consent to sex with anyone above the age of 21.
Don’t agree at all.
Adulthood for what? Voting? Maybe. Drinking? No legal age at all, IMHO.
To have sex? No real minimum age, but a delta age between the two participants of no more than 2 years until 16yo, 3 until 20yo. After 20yo, whatever ring your bell.
Yes I am being extreme on purpose here.
