Good stuff. You mentioned you thought it would get deleted other places but it would fit right in at storiesonline.net actually pretty tame in comparison to some of the stuff I've seen there, and a lot more well written.

😅 yeah, like i said, absolutely nothing to back my idea up.

Cool to know the background.

if i'm remembering correctly (and if not, you could always google it) it largely came about through labor laws preventing child labor and age for being drafted/military service, which were derived from when men were generally considered "done maturing" and fit for full time labor/military service. In the US at least.

Many other countries followed suit, and some have the even older 21.
