In the 70s and 80s, second wave feminists and gay rights activists openly advocated for legalizing pedophilia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedophile_Information_Exchange

This is a deep dark rabbit hole that will change the way you think about these groups. Here is just an excerpt.

An open letter signed by 69 people, including Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Françoise Dolto, Philippe Sollers, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Louis Aragon was published in Le Monde, on the eve of the trial of three Frenchmen (Bernard Dejager, Jean-Claude Gallien, and Jean Burckardt) all accused of having sex with 13- and 14-year-old girls and boys. Two of them had then been in temporary custody since 1973 and the letter referred to this fact as scandalous. The letter claimed there was a disproportion between the qualification of their acts as a crime and the nature of the reproached acts, and also a contradiction since adolescents in France were fully responsible for their acts from the age of 13. The text also opined that if 13-year-old girls in France had the right to receive the pill, then they also should be able to consent, arguing for the right of "12- and 13-year-olds" "to have relations with whomever they choose."

These aren't just some no-name activists either. They were well-established intellectuals of the time.
