Just wanted to say you're right. "Culturally accepted" might help a person understand something, but it in no way excuses that thing. The whole modern conception of consent exists precisely because several generations of feminists critiqued what was culturally accepted until mainstream society finally realized that they were tacitly allowing some disgusting shit to happen and turned against it.
The two people in this thread that are Materialistically(tm) invested in culturally acceptable creeping on children certainly seem to be wanting to excuse anything that the ruling class does that they happen to have personal stakes in justifying and defending.
It's rich that the old French bougie in the OP isn't really creepy on the same level (as far as I know) but a 50+ year old that took a 9 year old child bride is the voluntary example given by the Materialists(tm) in this thread anyway, in advance.
