So the age of consent was/is 16, she had sex at 14, but thinks if the consent law had been 18 she wouldn’t have? I don’t think a new law is the answer here.

She is not trying to change her past. She is commenting on the continual pressure in the UK by sexual anarchists to lower the age of consent. She is speaking from experience that lowering the age of consent will do harm to present and future girls, and is in favor of raising the age of consent.

Age of consent laws do provide some measure of protection. Even Wyman knew he could have been prosecuted under the old laws, and kept the relationship hidden for two years. Would a stricter law have changed anything for him? Maybe not; but most social solutions require several solutions -- a strong law, stronger enforcement, and a campaign of public awareness. She is addressing these issues based on her personal testimony of harm suffered from the "swingin' 60s" mentality she encountered when she was a young teen. You have a problem with that?

The institutions of government and medicine are ENCOURAGING youthful sexual experimentation.

SEICUS and other organizations push a Kinseyian "sex positive" agenda. They seize upon William Reich's notion that sexual energy is a birthright to be enjoyed at every age. Proponents believe that there should be no moral judgements over any sexual pairings.

Your tax dollars fund this beast through a thousand different foundations globally.

One way to counter this agenda is to make it criminal to "corrupt minors". We have a Safe Schools Czar that introduced school children to the concept of fisting.
