You're not wrong.

Before the late 1800s age of consent laws didn't exist. Like a bar mitzvah was a celebration of adulthood, at 13, iirc.

Marrying children was common. And knocking up young teen girls was normal. And this still happens...

I think the saying was/is, "old enough to bleed, old enough to breed."

    I'm genuinely trying to understand your point. Do you mean we should still follow what people were doing in 1800s? People are dog pilling on you and while it's true 1800s people were relative brutes I'm not sure what that adds to this discussion?

    That's a lot of judgements to unpack.

    Luckily, I'm not moving. Good luck with that.
