Barrister Barbara Hewson, states that the age of consent should be lowered in order to protect men. Absolutely disgusting.

@CountFosco I agree I have thought this for a while.

OP those commitments were made in 2013.

Why have you resurrected them?

Sorry, it came up on another site that I was on and I didn’t notice the date. However, considering how child safeguarding seems to be ignored regarding many current situations, such as sex education (dice game, inappropriate discussions regarding sex, porn) it does show that some in power, are influencing the wellbeing of our children.

Sorry, posted too soon. In now reading the date. (Sorry, again) it shows how far back some in power started advocating giving children decision making rights that they’re not equipped to deal with.

@ DidoLamenting - like not a ‘real’ person - someone who says things to get people riled up/start debate? I was at uni with a person like that - he could start an argument in an empty room and would say the most outrageous things (he just could not have believed half of them) just to start a ‘debate’ (in his eyes - he really just upset people and made them angry). Some of the students even went to the head of course to warn them that there was a real danger of his guy getting a good arse kicking because he had managed to upset everyone else on the course. We called it ‘rogering’ (his name was roger).

Does she have daughters? Or a son for that matter. Imagine my child having a legal relationship with an older man at 13

What kind of man wants to be with a 13 year old child? We all know the answer
