12. While I have no personal experience, I suspect that incest generally . . .

wrecks healthy family relationships.

On your other point, society of necessity sets age limits for consent. The earliest I've heard of is 13 and the latest 18 (I'm sure there are many I've never read about). Society also takes account age range, considering a relationship between a 16-year-old and a (say) 36-year-old to be inappropriate, while a relationship between two 16-year-olds, not so much.

But the OP was about the disparity in potential harm of older-younger pairings depending upon whether the younger was male or female. On that I stand by my original statement.
