The move comes after the French courts twice refused to prosecute grown men for rape after they had sex with 11-year-olds because authorities couldn't prove coercion.
**It is already illegal in France to have sex with under 15s, but rape charges can only be brought if prosecutors can prove the act was non-consensual.
The government is now drafting a bill to say sex with children under a certain age is as a result of the youngster feeling threatened.**
HOW can it be "illegal" to have sex with a 15 year old and yet there is no finding of rape in
the two cases of 11 year old girls?
Nonetheless, this is what we see with the rise of the right wing anywhere.
Very destructive to equality of females and protection of children.
More likely you should tell Obama and Hillary who are both right wing --
and seem to be owned by CIA.
Dem Party is also under right wing control and has been for three decades at least now ...
Koch Bros./John Birch Society and other large corporations own DP ...
and recruited Bill Clinton to help found Democratic Leadership Council.
Koch Bros. and other large corporations had representatives on the
DLC's Executive Council and have since totally taken over the party.

these rightwing benefactors are the Koch brothers. But the Kochs have been working both sides of the fence. As Bill Berkowitz writes, the Koch brothers have also been funding the Democratic Leadership Council.
According to SourceWatch, a project of the Center for Media & Democracy, the brothers are "leading contributors to the Koch family foundations, which supports a network of Conservative organizations and think tanks, including Citizens for a Sound Economy, the Manhattan Institute the Heartland Institute, and the Democratic Leadership Council."
Charles Koch co-founded the Cato Institute in 1977, while David helped launch Citizens for a Sound Economy [now FreedomWorks] in 1986.
"Founding"
"Freeing Democrats from being, well, Democrats has been the Democratic Leadership Council's mission since its founding 16 years ago by Al Gore, Chuck Robb, and a handful of other conservative, mostly southern Dems as a rump faction of disaffected elected officials and party activists. Producing and directing the DLC is Al From, its founder and CEO, who's been the leader, visionary, and energizing force behind the New Democrat movement since Day One." --Robert Dreyfuss, The American Prospect, April 23, 2001.
Funding
An August, 2000 Newsweek story on Joe Liebermn, The Soul And The Steel[1] reveals that some of the early funding came from ARCO, Chevron, Merck, Du Pont, Microsoft, Philip Morris and Koch Industries:
His selection may also complicate Gore's efforts to depict Bush as a patsy for big business. Since 1995 Lieberman has chaired the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), the centrist think tank that eschews liberal dogma and promotes market-oriented approaches to policy. Like many similar groups, the DLC (of which Gore is a founding member) has never disclosed its funding sources. But last week, in response to requests from NEWSWEEK, it turned over a list of top donors. If Gore still hopes to score populist points by bashing Big Oil and pharmaceutical companies that oppose his plan to add a prescription-drug entitlement to Medicare, he may have some explaining to do. Among the DLC's biggest benefactors last year (contributions of between $50,000 and $100,000) were ARCO, Chevron and the drug giant Merck. Other big underwriters include Du Pont, Microsoft and Philip Morris (which has kicked in $500,000 since Lieberman became DLC chairman). There is no evidence that the DLC has trimmed policies to accommodate its patrons, but some contributors say the money has helped ensure an open door to Lieberman. "We've been able to have a dialogue with the senator and his staff," said Jay Rosser, spokesman for another DLC benefactor, Koch Industries, an oil-pipeline firm that is also a big GOP donor.

Yes the far left is in fact the sole cause of the rise of nationalism today.
The people that hate the nationalists the most have only themselves to blame for going beyond all rationality with their push toward liberalism, political correctness and multi-culturalism
So you think that Hitler/Nazis and Mussolini were liberals?
Maybe you even think that fascism is liberal?
Nationalism -- patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts.
synonyms:
patriotism, patriotic sentiment, flag-waving, xenophobia, chauvinism, jingoism, ... more
Our allegiance is to our country, not a government which may be corrupted.
Or a government's MIC which may be corrupted....
When patriotism becomes excessive to include flag-worship and xenophobia (fear of
citizens of other nations), chauvinism (gender superiority) it becomes destructive to
freedom, liberty, equality.
This is what we saw in happening in Spain, Italy, Germany as the right wing rose
there -- supported by American and International Elites.
"Political correctness" is right wing BS and propaganda in an effort
to create a negative response to ending racism and sexism and
homophobia in US -- all, btw, taught by organized patriarchal religion
for thousands of years.
One perfect example of this is Trump and his nationalist followers
who would attack North Korea with atomic weapons at this very
moment if they could. That's xenophobia.

Tell that to Obama and Hillary at the next Hot Dog Extravaganza. shill. This isn't a Right Wing vs. Left Wing issue.

This certainly is a right wing issue -- unless you consider the CIA liberal?
Or the MIC liberal?
Both parties have been taken over by corporations .... which also aren't liberal.
Royals morphed into corporations.

It's important to keep it in the back of your mind because Europe is a testing ground for what they want to roll out worldwide.
