I've even read posts from minors arguing for an age of consent higher than their own, or even from people aged 18–20 arguing that the age of consent should be raised above their own age. It’s crazy, because they base their arguments on fallacies like the one about the prefrontal cortex, so they’re ...

But, furthermore, of the few differences that do exist, most are socially constructed. Most cultures throughout human history have not even had a term for adolescence, because it ...
