Not what I said at all.
If it were up to me, molesters would be executed within thirty minutes of the guilty verdict.
I just called it like it was at the time. What constitutes a crime differs from decade to decade and from place to place. The age of consent still is different in many countries of the world. What is legal here could be a crime somewhere else and vice versa.
One must also consider that many of our grandparents and prior were married with kids at 17-18, in some cases even at 15-16.
Further back in history Kings ruled countries at 16. A different time to be sure but also consider basic biology The onset of male puberty/girls menstruating signify what exactly? Yup, ‘reproductive readiness.’ And both happen far before the age of 16.
The morality of today is different to be sure and I’m N-O-T advocating young/teen sex. Just stating the facts.
