can you cite the pedophilia?
we can cite as recently as 1700s America, where it was legal for men to marry and consummate marriage with 12 year old girls, sometimes as young as 9 years old. is that pedophilia for its time? this was normal across most of the world a few hundred years ago
even in the 1800s it was still ages 9-12 in many places of the world for marriage consent
“So what it used to be normal" wasn't the response I was expecting. Twelve may have been legally permitted in certain periods, but legality is not the same thing as moral normalcy. The average age of marriage in the 1700's was still mid twenties. Was it still pedophilic for its time. Yeah, man. It was. Slavery existed for most of human history, yet its longevity never made it right. Time and tradition do not convert exploitation into morality.
