    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.

      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.

      I think this is a pretty naive take. Remember how Nazis were hated by everyone except some fringe groups?

      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.

            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.
