As I predicted. Once the deviants forced society to accept queers as “normal” lowering the age of consent was to be the next step.

Looks they are in a hurry to accomplish it.

Just ask Whoopi Goldberg....

Muslims or whatever the Brit equivelent is for libertarians. They largely agree on age of consent laws.

The people who have been writing sex manuals for public schools over the last 20-30 years, SEICUS, believe that kids should be having sex by the age of eight-

"or it's too late."

Drop it down to 6. It’s sharia compliant.

I’ll go out on a limb here and speculate that Barbara Hewson likes to play with 2 year-old girls. She feels constrained by the arbitrary age limits imposed by a less indulgent society.

When bestiality is legalized, will the age of consent be measured in dog years?

There’s a bit of interesting history here.

Till the late 1800s the age of consent in England was 13, in Scotland 12, and in most US states 10(!) or 12.

This of course applied to girls having sex with men, since boys having sex with men was completely illegal anyway.

This is conflict resolution for it’s own sake, ie: Hegel’s paradox. The witting intent is subversion, meanwhile the very basic social construct and services fails.

That may be true, but 12 year olds a century ago were already working and a lot more mature. Besides which, I imagine their parents expected or demanded they get married soon after being caught having sex. “Childhood” today lasts into the mid-30’s.

Teens back then may indeed have been more mature psychologically. But today they, especially girls, enter puberty on average much earlier.

So they are physically ready for sex earlier, and mentally/psychologically less ready.

A recipe for disaster. Which is what we see around us.

This is what they call "critical theory," which I did not understand till recently.

It is not a reasonable criticism of a problem or injustice, which is then dropped when the injustice is addressed.

It is a constant critique that when one injustice or inequity is addressed is not satisfied even momentarily, but instead moves on to something else. IOW, it is at war with ANY possible society. Nothing we could possibly do could satisfy critical theorists.

In which it has much in common with Islam, in which Islam is always and forever at war with the House of War, by definition.
