I actually think there should be two ages of consent: There should be a general age of consent at 16, but there should also be an age of consent of 12 if the other partner is 16 or younger.
I think a general age of 12 is too young, but I can see the arguments for it. I don't think they have to be pedophilic, but can be pragmatic.
