Honestly, my fear is that if it does get released, the government will try and normalize it and the public going along with it. I fear for all the daughters and women out there.
I don't know about that, pedophiles are universally hated across the political spectrum with only pedos supporting them.
An attempt at normalisation wouldn't bare any fruit and would further alienate the audiences of the media that try to push it.
I think this is a pretty naive take. Remember how Nazis were hated by everyone except some fringe groups?
People maybe vocal about hating it because the perception is thats its not accepted in society. Just like theres plenty of bigots, but they keep quiet about their racist remarks unless they think they amoungst the 'in group'.
Just think how big the uproar when it was found out the Southern Baptists was covering up sexual abuses within their org. What, you dont remember the big uproar? Because there was basically none.
People only get het up now if it's men raping little boys.
How many timss have you heard from the Manly Men influencers that women in their 20's are 'past their prime'?
They've been shifting the window the entire time. For a country like the US that already gets weird about teenaged girls and has childhood beauty pageants, it's really not going to take as much as you think.
It's not as extreme but they have managed to normalise a President being involved in open corruption, so I wouldn't rule it out.
I mean, some countries, parents can sell their daughters as wives. Like, that is currently happening now. It's not a stretch that it can happen here.
It kinda already is a thing here, you just don't hear about it. Child marriage is disgusting. Make it 21. If you can't drink, you can't get married. Also shouldn't go to war without ever tasting alcohol.
Make it 18. 18 year olds are adults who shouldn't get married but I don't want the government stopping them either
If you're not trusted enough to drink, you shouldn't be trusted enough to get married, and shouldn't be made to go to war. Whether that's 18 or 21, it should all be the same. You can't rent a car in America till 25. We need an agreed upon point of "adulthood". And we know that not everybody matures at the same rate, so that point should be debated, but it should all be the same. The brain isn't done developing till your early to mid 20's. I personally wouldn't call myself mature till I was 28 or so, and I had already been drinking, smoking weed and been sent to war by then.
