From the wikipedia article:

   "Michel Foucault argued that it is intolerable 
    to assume that a child is incapable of giving 
    meaningful consent to sexual relations."

The action of the french intellectuals or the German Greens was very clearly not just about equating the age of consent between homosexuals and heterosexual, but also about enabling sex between adults and prepubescent children.

[mindover]

Yes, at that time men under the age of 21 were considered children not being able to give consent specifically to having gay sex. However, men of the same age were not considered children when having straight sex. Do you see a problem with that?

More importantly, are you as furious that _today_ children as young as 13 are able to give consent in many mostly republican states in the US?

Are you OK with 13 y.o. girls being able to give consent in Tennessee? It’s happening today in your own country, led by your own party, not in France 50 years ago.

The children that Foucault has been referring to were not 21 year old men, as you know perfectly well, and as the Wikipedia article makes and the other links I gave make perfectly clear. And the German Greens also did not refer to 21 year old men, what they all were supporting was more something like the Kentler experiments [1].

What is "my own party" and what is "my own country", are you not making unwarranted assumptions?

Absent strong social pressure, humans tend to start having sex when they reach puberty. I doubt that there is even one human on the planet who does not have ancestors that had children at 13. Why is this relevant?

What is not acceptable, as you know very well, is genital mutilation of children without consent (children cannot give consent) that renders them permantently infertile and dysorgasmic. Stop defending child abuse!
