Age of consent

What we're going to talk about in this article, this is a law that should have been fixed a long time ago in France.

And what we're talking about here is the age of consent.

Now, You all know how I feel about looking out from my backyard and into my neighbor's yard and talking trash when I have a whole yard full of garbage myself.

But when it comes to this situation here, the age of consent and how – People in France have manipulated it for a long time.

I think that it is nothing but a positive step for the authorities in France to start to address something like this.

I mean, if not now, then when? So it's certainly refreshing to see that they're taking it more seriously and they're going to take a look at setting the age for consent at 15 in France.

But when we're talking about what we're talking about here, very rich, very powerful men and women abusing the most vulnerable and 30, 40 years of their junior in some instances, then we have a whole different type of problem.

at our fingertips, and a whole different type of problem that needs to be discussed.

Now, here's what they did.

They signed open letters and petitions published in French newspapers like Le Mode and Liberation, calling for the abrogation of age of consent laws and the decriminalization of consensual relations between adults and minors under the age of 15.

They were predators.

They were people who would want to have sex with a minor.

She was not a convicted or self-avowed pedophile.

in the mold of figures like Gabrielle Matzneff, who openly wrote about and championed pedophilia.

Her signing of the 1970s Age of Consent reform petitions has drawn sustained public condemnation and debate.

But that was the pillar, and it shouldn't have been.

it's like, older guy, younger woman, and they're coming together, and then all of a sudden she says, only 17, and then they spread apart far away.

I'm sorry, Richard, but that laminated card from Transformers 4, Age of Consent, doesn't really work here.

God dang it.

I got Vietnam flashbacks to my idiot ex-brother-in-law trying to use that same explanation.

it is so funny because I was watching a movie the other day and, uh-

Somebody just went, "Ooh, Age of Consent"

[laughs]

I was watching a movie the other day and it just-

Just like the United States and in Europe, it's the same as, like I said earlier, because if a 14-year-old has sex with a 14-year-old, the criminality would be defined by the courts at that point, and most likely the parents would suffer any type of legal retribution that would take place between the two.

But in Saudi Arabia, there's no specific standalone age of consent like the U.S. and Europe.

Here's the accurate 100% written code.

All sexual activity outside of marriage is illegal regardless of age.

That is a completely different matter.

Having sex outside of having sex outside.

What is the age of consent in Saudi Arabia? The age of consent would be the legal age of adulthood, which is 18, which is specifically just stated.

I can read it again if it helps.
