If you think pedophilia isn’t a institutionalized problem, you have no idea what’s going on.

Look at the ages of consent in European countries.

In Cyprus and Ireland, it’s 17 years of age.

In Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia, the UK, it’s 16 years of age.

In France, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, it’s 15 years of age.

In Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, it’s just 14 years of age.

And for France, they’re just raising their age of consent to 15. Stop and think about that for a second.

France is raising their legal age of consent to 15 because it came to light that in two court cases men who had raped 11-year-olds could not be prosecuted as rapists. The children had to prove that they were forced for it to be legally called rape. So the French authorities have finally decided to do something about it and in their pedophiliac wisdom decided on 15 years of age. And before the French authorities decided on 15 as their legal age of consent, they considered raising it to just 13 years of age.

Meanwhile, 15, 16, even 17-years-old is still mentally and emotionally a child and a child isn’t able to consent to anything.
