That has been a thing for a several decades, though (remember NAMBLA? And PIE if you're in the UK?), and it seems like that door is pretty well shut. I don't think pedophilia has a snowball's chance in a desert of ever being legalized.

Maybe not legalized, but there are a lot of people who defend pedos or act like they don't care.

Off the top of my head I remember some cases from my own country where prosecutors said a 13yo is old enough to say no, so the rapist didn't go to jail, same with an 11yo where the rapist threatened to kill her family etc These are just from the past year and I don't follow the news or I'm sure I could give you more examples like this.

Wrong. Check the latest post from Kellie Jay-Keen on YouTube. There's a "feminist" document being pushed through the UN, sponsored by all the usual alphabet + groups - trying to sneak through a LOWERING OF THE AGE OF CONSENT.

For puberty blockers, for sexual intercourse etc for kids. This is what happens when you let men call themselves women. Feminism means whatever the bepenised lesbians want it to mean, all so they can get younger prey.

I regret marching for these people.

I looked into this, and found that she was referring to this document. While it does contain alarming language that could be interpreted as supporting a reduction of the age of consent, this is a lobbying coalition, and nothing is being "pushed through the UN".

Would anything the PIE or NAMBLA puts out be interpreted as a threat to statutory rape laws? I think the answer to that is pretty clearly no. Call me when you've got a legislature actually discussing it on the floor.

They sneak child abuse through by hiding behind Islam, which is untouchable in the UK.

Untouchable topics? Where have I heard that before...?
