@sandy I mean that the right treats pedophilia the same way the left treats fascism and Nazism. They are unable to discuss it and just throw emotional tantrums.

@sandy @matrix when will they understand that they hate child abusers and not pedophiles
@sandy @matrix what even needs to happen to finally normalize it
and when
i want to mark it on my calendar

@EnjuAihara @sandy Normalizing implies you get to act on your desires and I hope that day never comes.

@matrix @EnjuAihara @sandy

Since you came from a highly Christian country and hold these views, how old was Mother Mary when she bore Jesus? 12,13,14,15,16?

@Charfuhrer @EnjuAihara @sandy I'm from a mostly atheistic country and have already argued this with Christians here that Mary was a teen.

@matrix @Charfuhrer @EnjuAihara @sandy Anything past puberty in antiquity I would would be considered fair game. Post-puberty is a different set of circumstances more contingent on historical/cultural conditions. Young adolescents in the 13-15 age range I wouldn't support in a stable modern society, but would be more acceptable in a situation where lifespans are considerably shorter and less certain. 16-18 is where I would consider a reasonable age range to set for AOC. And anything prepubescent is woodchipper material under any circumstances.
@ArdanianRight @matrix @Charfuhrer @EnjuAihara @sandy Ironically, the Spartans were the notably exception among the ancient Greeks in that it was customary for their women to wait until 18 for marriage.

@ArdanianRight
Definitely agree.
Islam is much worse in this case since the Bible doesn't say Mary's age, while the Hadith specifically says Muhammad married Aisha at age 9.

@ArdanianRight @matrix @Charfuhrer @EnjuAihara @sandy They also educated their woman and allowed them to participate in the public discourse as opposed to the Athenians, who were unironically of the "a woman's place is in the kitchen" mindset. Greek women rarely left the home and if the man of the house was expecting guests, the women were to expected to retire upstairs out of sight. Rather progressive for a group of ancient fascists.
@ArdanianRight @Charfuhrer @EnjuAihara @matrix @sandy Well and most information on gender roles and relations in ancient Greece is almost entirely focused on the norms of Athens and Sparta. How closely smaller settlements across the ancient Greek world followed the customs of either is up for debate.

>stable modern society
given the context i'm reading this as "industrial society"
