    I found the term “age of consent” confusing. As I understand it, after googling ( I hope I’m not on a watch list now ) is that age of consent means consent with an adult?? Kids who are 12 can consent to having sexual activity with someone 2 years older in canada. No one under 12 can consent to anything ever. So what does age of consent mean exactly? Someone who is 19 years of age an older? What age is defined as an adult? It’s different per country right?
