If children couldnt have knowledge, then sending them to school would be pointless as they couldnt learn anything.

Consent is not all or nothing but exists on a great spectrum where children are capable of consenting to some things but not others. But all people can consent to some things, but not to others, as no person has all knowledge.

Children develop more autonomy over time, and they should be allowed to exercise all consent appropriate to their level of understanding.
This has next to nothing to do with anything I just said.

Common, fight me on this.
Why? Everytime I or anyone else points out to you why your position is flawed you won't address it.

Children make choices daily: what to wear, what to eat, what activities to join. This is demonstrating obvious decision-making ability.

None of the arguments I gave were negated in any way.

If you are wondering why I dont respond to your "everything will go to shit if we let children consent to something" nonsense argument, is because it is not only an unproved argument, but actually contradicts even with law in US and Europe which already lets children consent in many cases, and contradicts with all cases of countries which let children consent, and contradicts with entire history.
