Scrap age of consent for sexual intercourse
The government should scrap the age of consent as it is an arbitrary barrier that discriminates against young people. Anyone of any age should be able to have consensual sexual intercourse or engage in consensual sexual activity with anyone else of any age. The government should get out of the bedroom.
Furthermore, it is consent that is important - rape is traumatic at any age.
