I have a particular interest, and ive stated it a couple of times in the forum, about the history of the age of consent, how it appears in literature, and how its changed over time, why its so and what it means. you cannot take that and translate a desire to clarify thought and seek understanding to mean I want to have sex with a 12yr old.
I don't really get what is the fascination of age of consent because in the long distance past. People didn't understand biology and psychology.
As we get more advance in understanding our bodies. While women can get pregnant at 10 yr old or 12 yr old. But we know how the pregnancy can kill some of them or damage their non-fully developed womb forever.
We also understand the psychology of being a mom. And also, we want to allow a child to be a child and enjoy their childhood. And let them be a mother when they are ready.
Some boys at 12 yr old may still be thinking "Ewwwwww" about sex.
Yet in the old days, old men can fuck 12 yr old girls when they should still be innocent and enjoying their childhood.
The difference between then and now is that we have more knowledge on what's the best welfare for a human being now.
And we created the concept of welfare. In the past, women don't even have rights. They were as good cattle. So they don't care about their welfare. They are just seen like broodmares.
I personally don't think there is anything interesting about age of consent. I think with knowledge and wanting more protection for children from sexual crimes and pedophiles. It is natural for the age of consent to be raised.
Also, I can't imagine anybody raising a daughter would want to ponder about why their daughter can't have sex at 12 yr old. And not be happy that, the older this age of consent is, the better! Just because, she is still immature to make decisions and understand what's going on. To process sexuality. And because she is 12. She deserves to have a childhood. Not be forced to be a woman at 12.
At 12 yr old, when I had a crush on a guy. It's like innocent, just holding hands and spending time together. Sex never occur to me or him, who was also 12. That's the way it should be.
In backwards society, some 12 yr olds are already slogging in hard labour since they were 8 yr old or something.
I'd tell you though that, I don't understand the "age limit" on work. More like the "type of work" permitted for kids should be regulated. Just because some kids like me do find work a great learning ground and also loads of fun. It doesn't have to be nasty or slave labouring. I think in modern society, children should be able to do some kind of work if they wanted to. Just basically have a few easy kid friendly jobs that are permitted.
