Children are capable of consenting to sex with adults when they're capable of doing all the other things adults are doing.

... that's what I wanted to say. Then I remembered child labor is on its way to becoming legal again in the US so you'll soon see 13 yos paying taxes. And you know what? If you're 13, you have a job and you pay taxes, you can also bang a 30 yo why not

It's a social concept. A thousand years ago, post-puberty kids were banging like no tomorrow. Life expectancy was 20-35 years.

Age consent laws are good for protecting kids from predators, but if an 18 year old and 16 year old want to bang each other, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Ideally, post-puberty young adults who are level-headed, mentally mature, are aware of predators and can make decisions for themselves should be allowed to make their own sexual decisions. However, there's just no way to judge and implement a rule for that. People who mature slower, even past the age of 18 can also be taken advantage of, manipulated and groomed. Just ask Drake, he's got lots of experience.
