Because at 12 or whatever age you want to push the 'age of consent' back to, a Child does not understand the totality of the desision he/she is being forced to make. Therfore if a Child can not protect him/herself then soceity has an obligation to do that for them by telling people who want to have sex with kids that they will be put in prision far removed from children.
So, Drich, which of these two do you think is better able to consent to a sexual relationship?
1) A 21 year old woman who is mentally retarded and, psychologically, is about the same as a ten year old.
or
2) A 16 or 17 year old who use a fake ID to get into a bar, gets drunk, sleeps with a guy and blackmails him with statutory rape charges if he doesn't buy them lots of expensive gifts.
