      It is always projection. Every guy they make up to get mad at is just themselves with blue hair and a better life.

    When you don't have any functional sex education, access to contraceptives is restricted, abortion is functionally illegal, social services are non-existent and your "family values" bullshit promotes social stigma against unmarried single mothers, you end up thinking child marriages are a good thing.

      I mean maybe. Or maybe you've just got a bunch of Roy Moore types in the legislature and on the courts.

    "At least 207,468 minors married in the US between 2000 and 2015, according to data compiled by Unchained At Last, a group campaigning to abolish child marriage, and investigative documentary series Frontline.

    The true figure is likely to be much higher because 10 states provided no or incomplete statistics.

    The majority are 16/17, but

    The youngest wedded were three 10-year-old girls in Tennessee who married men aged 24, 25 and 31 in 2001. The youngest groom was an 11-year-old who married a 27-year-old woman in the same state in 2006.

    Children as young as 12 were granted marriage licences in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina, while 11 other states allowed 13-year-olds to wed.

    More than 1,000 children aged 14 or under were granted marriage licences.

    Most states set the age of sexual consent between 16 and 18 and a person can be charged with statutory rape for having sex with a minor. Yet many children were granted marriage licences, approved by judges, before they could legally consent to sex.

    Only 14 per cent of the children who wedded were married to other minors. Most married a partner aged 18 to 29, with 60 per cent aged between 18 or 20."

      Beginning to understand why conservatives think gay marriage would be weird.

    Wait, but conservatives and libertarians I know keep telling me that this is a derogatory stereotype.

      Like in the hundreds of thousands of cases. Mostly teenagers being forced to marry in shotgun wedding situations, but a not insignificant amount of adult men marrying children that are 14 and younger

      Hey, the French specifically had nothing to do with this. Pedophilia is a proud ancient tradition in way too many cultures.
