The issue with consent is connected to mental maturity, and not everyone mentally matures at the same rate.
Relative in the metaethical sense (here, ofc). If it were subjective then courts would defer to the reporting subject. They do not. Our legal system sets a number which is not a fact of the matter because there is none - as you note we do not all mature at the same rates....nor necessarily referent to a fact of the reporting subject, as we are not beholden to defer to a particularly mature subject or on a case by case basis.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
