I guess if you follow that line of thinking, bill gates is a victim of a blackmail attempt. All spouses of those implicated are victims because they're partner cheated on them.
I think when they talk of protecting victims they are referring to the girls and women who were trafficked and forced to have sex.
Age of consent is 16 in Australia and many other western nations. Governments need to set an age to say what is too young, but whether that age is 16 or 18 is somewhat arbitrary. Some 16yos are very ready for sex and some 20yos aren't. Different people develop at different rates. So any age you set will limit the freedom of some unfairly and not protect others who need it.
Man this is so overblown. If it was moved to the 28th, all these whiners wouldn't even remember in a year or two. As long as I get a holiday in late January, I don't care about the date. These people always say the sky will fall if we change anything (gay marriage, banning smoking in bars, etc) then we do it and nothing bad happens.
Let me say that I do believe that the Israeli government is committing genocide. And they believe they are too. They've said the quiet part out loud. They don't want to live in peace with the Palestinians.
