And it just so happens that you think the arbitrary line should be drawn exactly where it is? And you think if you grew up in a community with 14 as the age of consent, that you would still think 16 is appropriate but 14 is not? It seems highly likely that cultural conditioning has led you to select the arbitrary age that you have selected. I never said there should be no age of consent, so that is a strawman. Clearly people who have no biological drive to engage in sexual activity should not be manipulated into engaging in sexual activity, and that draws a pretty firm minimum line at about 12. If you take it further and say that nobody who has not reached late or end stage sexual maturation should engage in sexual activity, then the line moves up to about 14. And just coincidentally your new found beliefs perfectly coincide with the law of the state that you happen to live in? That is just a freak correlation without a causative relationship? Sure, you appeal to moral principles that have come to be based upon the arbitrary and artificial social construct of your community. This means that you have been conditioned into having your sense of morality. Your logic almost certainly is going to boil down to "The age of consent in my state is 16 years old, therefor the age of consent ought to be 16 years old". You have given no reason for why 16 years old is the appropriate age other than that an arbitrary line needs to be drawn somewhere, and it seems like quite a coincidence to me that the arbitrary line your morality dictates you to draw happens to perfectly coincide with the legal system of your community. I find it highly unlikely that your line would be at 16 years old if you happened to have been born in Spain or Croatia for example. Unless you would still think the age of consent should be 16 even if you were born somewhere where the age of consent is lower or higher, then clearly your sense of morality is the result of social conditioning. It is an exceptionally common trend, everybody seems to think the age of consent should be exactly what it is in the community they are from, even though the ages of consent in different communities varies by as much as ten years of age! I don't think Anarchists support the idea of the government telling people when they are ready to have sex, so you don't seem to be leaning very far.
