Doing a 15 year old is still statutory rape when you are a 27 year old.
And yes, in the past blacks and women were treated as 2nd class (or 3rd class) citizens, but wanting to back to the interactive morals of an earlier age does not mean you have to regain ALL the trappings of the past. It would be nice to grab a few of the better moral standards from long ago and try to re-intergrate them into society, but for the moral nihlists that seem to set the standards of today, that would be abhorrent. (it would affect sales of their crap).
Guy, the problem is, when someone says that in the past we had "morals", but wants to pretend that Jim Crow and other abuses didn't exist...
They also like to pretend that back in the day, people didn't have abortions because abortions were performed in back allies rather than in a nice clean clinic that said "Women's Reproductive Center" on the sign.
Vices hidden are not morality, guy.
Now, going back to this argument, fact was, 16 year old girls were married off to older men as recently as the mid 19th century. in fact, the reason why you still had "Civil War Widows" late into the 20th century was because young girls were marrying old men to get their war pensions.
Then we decided that adulthood was 18 or 21 instead of 16 as it had traditionally been. Sadly, someone didn't share that memo with teenage hormones...
Most teens lose their virginity by 17.
