Ok, I see this as a total separate issue than the "innocence" of children. Having sex and learning math are two totally different things.
The post I refered to spoke about the effect of the human rights movement.
Among the human rights movements the phrase human rights means the human rights that are defined in the universal human rights charta.

Having a bit perspective and knowing where ideas come from instead of just seeing your own arguments helps in seeing why society changes the way it does.

That depends on how you define innocence.

I think that it's generally about taking responsiblity for negative outcomes.
Not getting hired because you know no math is a negative outcome.

Being held as a prisioner of war is also a negative outcome and prisioner of war (from Western states) get seen in the West generally more as victims rather then as being responsible for being captured.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
