It is noteworthy that the concept of "age of consent" didn't exist in most civilizations before our modern era. Is it because the thought had not yet become part of collective consciousness? Or perhaps because people typically shared your opinion of the matter (which is also mine), Dappled? Interesting either way.
I'd be really interested in a study which compared each nationality's age of consent with the general strength of the extended family in that country. I'm wondering whether we're just passing on familial duties to the state.
What do you believe the "age of consent" should be?

"passing on familial duties to the state."
Sounds 'bout right.
