"But what about the moderates?"

[simplemoss]

In 1895 deleware age of consent was 7 years old, it was mostly feminist movements in different states that raised it too 16 and 18 in the 20's

And modern age of consent weren't generally recognized until 1962 when 55 UN nations signed universal age of consent laws. But even until 2004 Canada's age of consent was only 14.

Realize that you're slurring a bunch of guys with a very broad brush.

I think your confusing the fact that i said soldiers did it as if I'm saying "only" soldiers. I'm saying "even", respectable well trained educated us soldiers were doing it thats how COMMON it was. It was not just a bunch of hill people doing it the woods is what I'm saying

Too be fair it was probably occuring far less than the average person there was no "epidemic of soldiers marrying 13 year Olds"


Again too restate my point it was legal too marry a 7 years old in the USA as recently as 1895 is it really fair too call Mohammed a pedophile when he lived 1500 years ago. Also marriage didn't always mean sex it was common too marry a girl very young, years before.the couple would have sex especially amongst polygamist cultures

Also I'm pretty sure the virgin Mary wasn't over 18 should we now call god a pedophile??
