The way that this issue is tackled leaves much to be desired.Every country and every culture has a different angle on it,and the articlt highlights the fact that males and females are treated differently.Heterosexuals and homosexuals are also treated with disparity,I can't figure out why a person needs to be older to be considered legaly mature enough to choose their own sexuality.In certain states,unbelievable though it sounds,it is still a criminal offence to indulge in homosexual behavior.
We'll never be able to agree on a world-wide age of consent,but if the powers that be[sorry Yogs,looks like a job for the UN] could steer countries into legislating some gender equality and some sexuality equality into their statute books,it would be a start.
