I Said: I believe in the laws which protect minors from advances by dirty old or young men.
U Said: It’s good that you agree that the false prophet Joseph smith, Brigham Young and other mormon pedophiles were criminals and should have gone to jail for their sex crimes...
Please show me such a law that was on the Books in 1840... In the 1800's if you were not married by 16 you were an "old maid", life spans were shorter then.
That said, IMHO you are behaving like a jerk, but that's my opinion, yours may and probably does vary.

That just isn’t true, the average age for getting married for women was about 22.
“This study examined marriage patterns between ethnic groups in six counties in Texas in 1850, 1860, 1880, 1900, and 1910. Data were obtained from the census for 3 counties near the border and 3 counties in mostly livestock-raising areas. Average marriage ages in Texas were higher for men than for women and declined over time from over 26 years to 25.2 years from 1850 to 1910. Women’s average marriage age increased from over 20 years in 1850 to 22 years in 1910.”
