I don't think sex was specified.

These days older women are 'taking advantage of' young boys.....so.... times change, don't they?

Bernie wanted to lower it again, from 16 to 13.

Times were different in the past.......'maturity' vs age distinctions aside. A 16 year old girl who had to raise her own sisters from the dirt in 1920 was way different than the child-voiced immaturity we have in many of today's females.

Romeo and Juliet laws exist in Nevada also (relative ages), where an 18 year old could have consensual sex with a 15 yr old.

Degeneracy would depend on the circumstances. Was your great grandfather a degenerate at 24 when he married the 15 year old? I'm pretty sure everybody has plenty of examples in the family tree.

Man-hating is not the answer.

Yeah, I can't say for sure about the age of consent being 10-12, but I'm pretty sure the minimum age for marriage was 14( look up Bouvier's Law Dictionary of 1856 and look under the word 'marriage'. So imo it got raised from 14 to 18, but everyone abided by the common law until they infiltrated the government. So if you had sex with a virgin, you were bound to marry her if the parents found out or she wanted to get married.

They implemented all these changes with the women to destabilize society and they got all sorts of economic benefits: double taxation, free sex from prime-aged women, they get to steal money from men now from all the welfare scams, etc

But another thing is that the legislative branch, both state or federal cannot legislative for the age of consent, because both state and federal constitutions strictly prohibit the government from impairing the obligation of contracts. Therefore, you're supposed to go bo the common law. The reason why they keep on with this scam acting like they have the power is because it's too good of a business and nobody knows how to argue in court.
