If you're gonna make a point, at least use correct examples

Thank You, Oliver

I'm not "sorting out" anyone, both are common misconceptions.

I agree it's weird and daft, but it's just the way it is

Tbh I think the age of consent should be 18. Not because of my opinion about who should be doing what, but to give more protection to teens from older perves. As ToyBoy said, I think the AoC should be completely reformed, to make ot higher but to add some allowances for people of similar ages.

Exactly
I never understood why age of consent was 16 , I've always said it should be 18 aswell.
