Yes, I responded precisely to the idea of a 20 year old's not able to make a decision cognitively. Able to take a full load of university level classes but not able to decide whom to date, because of cognitive immaturity. How does that make sense to you? I am not asking this as a rhetorical question - clearly, it does make sense to you, so I wonder, how? Is voting less taxing cognitively than partner choice? Is Advanced Calculus less taxing as well?

I am just trying to see how you reconcile the fact that for the majority of human history women at age 25 have had multiple children and the fact that modern young people ages 20-25 successfully pursue graduate degrees with the claim that they have insufficient cognitive maturation.
