The most at hand explanation I think would be biological differences between the genders. Male puberty is, on average, delayed by approximately 18 months in comparison. Girls/women are earlier in development and mature earlier, boys/men later.
Puberty was pretty much the defining factor back in the day for adulthood vs childhood.
Did they make those laws based on the one in a million?
(I just mean like when that nerd high schooler gets an advanced college degree and they go on the news for it every year or few - like presumably that kid’s parents would know whether they could marry a 20 year-old or whether the older partner should be castrated)
For those curious about the other colors:
In the red states, why would the common law age be younger for girls (12) than it is for boys (14)?
Both are horrifyingly young, but I’m curious what justifies two extra years of child molestation for girls
Because nobody wants to marry one of those groups, and a certain demographic wants to marry the other.
That’s simultaneously a fascinating question but also one I am not at all interested in researching.

What happened to the picture lol, is it ai’d?
Old meme from before ai, I think it might be from the show Robot Chicken.
Yeah I recognize the meme template but not that it looks so distorted?
Looks upscale from low-res.
An AI upscale that’s been fried back down to its original low resolution.
Ayy my state not being one of the bad ones for once
