Legal adult is 18 for everyone in US, but drinking age 21. Applies to both sexes.

No. Both are considered adult at the age of 18. We can't draft children so, men are considered the same as women now. You are right though, it used to be that way. Although we did lower the draft age to 18 during the 2nd W.W. & it stayed lowered until the end of the draft.

No not here in New England. The age is 18 for both sexes. Of course that doesn't apply to drinking or the new limited teen driving licenses.

i think male and female are considered adult at 18. since that's the voting age so therefore they are adult ?
