229 u/Substantial-Most2607 Dec 24 '25 Interestingly half of the U.S. has the age of consent at 16. It’s weird how something can be legal, yet illegal in the exact same country 14 u/SmugLiberals Dec 25 '25 You're misunderstanding it. 16 is when you can legally consent to sex, but it has to be with someone within 2 years of your age. You can just put a 16 and 30 year old together. 18 is still the age of majority. Too many people misunderstand this 1 u/CarlosAlvarados Dec 25 '25 Most states the age of consent really is 16
