If you make something illegal for a reason, either you commit to that reason or you invalidate your laws entirely.
First we had no age of consent (which is the word I'm using broadly for all legal age restrictions).
Then we set it at the age of biological adulthood, where "if she was old enough to bleed she was old enough to breed" (a reference to how a girl's mensuration was used as the indicator of her having entered into womanhood).
Later we raised it to the age of observable bodily development, reaching their peak physical height, that's about where we've had it set to up until now.
Now I'm proposing that the age be raised again, to the age of observable neurological development, reaching their peak intelligence quotient and full development of the areas in the brain associated with decision making (you know, giving consent. Such as when voting for a political representative or running for that office).

We've been raising immature adults who stay immature their entire lives.
That happened by wanting precocious, mature children who are asked instead of told, and treated as if they have an adult brain when they do not.
You're an adult until you're of legal age. Legal age exists because for all time they were adults. Now the globalists want them immature for life and seeking daddy government and daddy corporations to tell them what to believe, what to think, and what to say until they die.
50 year old get addicted to drugs, get STDS, get drunk and drive into people, get fired, get evicted. Are they not to be legal age either?

a 21 year old now is pretty much the same as a 21 year old in civil war times, when 16 year olds fought in wars.
The issue is not their age but their development being stunted by state and globohomo interests.
And you propose to stunt it further.
Get a clue.
