I love how this post has 14 likes yet it wrongly conflates sexualization with objectification. One discussion is not like the other.

Also, 18 is not an arbitrary number. It grants children a sufficiently long buffer to fully develop (girls finish developing at 15-17, boys finish developing at 16-17) and learn about themselves and sexual relationships after they reach puberty. And by your logic, children will learn complex mature topics as they get older, so the older the child, the more likely they will fulfill your criteria. Ultimately, it's the expected number of children who fulfills your criteria by age that counts. And someone thought 18 was a good age to pick.

I like how this post wrongly conflates sexual maturity with physical maturity including the brain. Fortunately, there are scientists that research these things and gives us information we didn't have before. That's why some places debate about previous age limits. They also realize we're developing sexually faster due to the presence of artificial lights, diet and nutrition. Basically our brain chemistry is saying "we have access to food, good lighting/shelter - let's breed". So we're entering into puberty faster. However, it still takes time for our brains to fully develop - which by the way is around the age of 25.

This is why I'm glad for science so that we can look at our laws (especially since the majority of the laws in US are religiously and politically driven due to lobbying) than just assume "18 is a good age to pick"

Also ...really why are we trying to apply modern law logic to a fictional world where even it's been stated there are limitations on the models they work on.
