I think there is a distinction to be made between the specific kind of consent you're referring to - which is legal consent in the case of an adult having sex witha minor - when it comes to the legal consequences, it would stand to reason consent comes from the legal definition, which is granted to adults when they reach the age of 18 (in the US). Now you can argue with the arbitrary nature of assigning what age all day long, but you can't argue there should be no age because then you're left with unanswered questions conserning the legal status of people's actions in society, like the question I posed to you in the last post.Do you think the ability to consent is 100% consistent in that ALL people develop the same way at the same time chronologically?
Concerning your statement about the government, it is factually incorrect. Governments, for the most part, are involuntary and do not permit individuals to not be encompassed. If you'd like to argue that one, go for it.
