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.

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.
