And who would decide what "realistic" is?

Certainly not me. The public, through their duly-elected representatives in Congress would make this decision. I can only offer my opinion of what "I" think realistic is. States have set the AOC at anywhere from 14 to 18, though the trend is to bring the lower ages up to 16. I agree with this trend and would have little problem supporting a national AOC of 16 with a few caveats.

>>>
It's still not clear to me why you and H. Pierce think that because YOU find extant AOCs unreasonable, it means they have to change
>>>
And it's not clear to me why you can be so arrogant in that since you disagree with my OPINION, it is obviously wrong. Perhaps you can enlighten me and tell me what is so WRONG in your eyes about a unified AOC?

>>>
In the rare times that it is illegal for an adult to have sex with a minor who is of the AOC
>>>
A unified AOC would eliminate the various laws where a person 18-21 is guilty of a minor felony, persons 22 and up a major felony, or the various "age-difference" statutes. Sex between an adult and a person who was of the AOC would be legal regardless of whether the adult was 20 or 60.

>>>
stupid defenses like lack of chastity. The implication of this defense is that the harm done to a minor in such a situation exists only where the minor was a virgin
>>>
Consider that the whole premise behind an AOC and laws about sex involving minors revolves around the concept that the minors are innocent, impressionable, immature, naive and unable to make a decision on their own about having sex. So if said minors are already sexually active with their fellow minors, can you tell me what is left of their innocence and naivete for an adult to exploit and take advantage of? What "harm" has been done?

>>>
If a twelve year old (AOC) has had sex before with another 12 year old, do you actually think the parents are going to be any less appalled if some 25 year old starts chasing their kid around?
>>>
I may have said 12 would be a good cutoff wherein sex between persons of that age and less and persons over that age is illegal. I don't recall advocating it as an AOC. As for parents being appalled, is that why we have the AOC? Not for the sake of the children, but for the sake of the parents? Funny, I don't recall reading a statute that says "Since parents of minors are subject to crying fits, sleepess nights and feelings of inadequacy when they learn that their darling children are having sex, said sex involving minors shall be illegal".

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
