I don't belong to the group of youths, but one does not need to belong to the particular group in order to defend their interests, like in the case of animal rights movements. Also, I belonged to it, therefore I have some experiences.
Let us look on legal drinking age laws. I know the reasons why do they exist, but yet these laws are oftenlyeasily overcome. I would say they feltare like obstacles rather than justifiable prohibitions. Yet, adults do not haveface such obstacles. It seems as oppresionlooks like oppression to me.
There also are other examples likesuch the driving age, the age of consent or age of watching porn. All of them are seen as oppressionthese appear oppressive by me. If you can drive well, your age is irrelevant. If you want to have sex, your age is irrelevant. If you want to watch porn, your age is irrelevant.
What ethics in academia do state they are oppression if any? Jow are they calledIs there an ethical theory that rejects such laws as oppressive ? If there are some ethics where canis, what is its name or label ? I read about argumentsam looking for and against?references.
I do not assume there isare no differencedifferences between youths and adults, I just say this age difference is irrelevant, like howjust as the difference between males and females is irrelevant when speaking about feminism (in the form of universal rights).
As this paper says (link provided by @Conifold), adolescents on average are more impulsive, yet then we should merely to prohibit the driving for impulsive people, not for adolescents, why not? There indeed can be adolescents who are less impulsive than average adult. If it is wrong that these differences are foundations for these laws, then what are the arguments for existence of such laws?
Regarding sex, I assume informed consent is a much better solution than age of consent. The humanAnyone, regardless of his/hertheir age, can give consent if knowsthey know the potential results of sex: pregnancy, STDs, injury caused by too rough sex, etc.
