OP here, some great discussion bois and gurls. Keep it up.
I'm more interested in the why than the who, but lots of valid arguments all around.

I haven't heard this one before! Would love some source for it though. It's definitely more plausible than just saying "Feminism!!". I'm skeptical about them having enough impact to influence most of the western society though.

Hmm a lot of good points here. Sound response, but was feminism specifically to blame here? Or might the term feminism have latched itself onto the sex-negative attitude after age limits were put in place….? If people associate feminism with protecting and strengthening women's power and equality, then sexual activity within younger girls would be seen as harmful, and something for feminists to fight for. Maybe to push the age limit higher and higher, I dunno, I'm just speculating.

yeah it is cliche to automatically blame feminists but:
>that plenty of men on their own accord don't like adult-child sex
Please see the sticky. There's plenty of evidence against this.

Alright Mr. Dad man. If you could stop being over protective with your daughters that would be great. I'm a dad as well, and honestly, if my girl knows the consequences of sex and how society views it, I trust that she can make her own decisions about her body once she is around 12 years old. Of course if she asked me what my opinion is, I would tell her that I wouldn't personally recommend that she does have sex with someone much older than her yet.
>A good father is highly protective our his daughters
I disagree with your statement, 'good' is subjective.
I don't know you, but you seem like some parent who wants full control of his daughters and has like a planned out future for them. Instead you should explain how the world collectively works, and your opinion on society. Once they know the 'rules' of life, they can make their own decisions. Even if it means breaking the rules. As long as they know the consequences of their actions beforehand, then they can consciously make the decision knowing full and well what might happen.
Anyways, this isn't a parenting thread. (also I'm curious as to why you browse this board)

>I am blaming feminists because they are at fault. I never said men weren't also to blame, but there was no specific group of men, and it wasn't all men that were at fault. Therefore, I can't isolate who to blame on the male side, and I have no data to say how prominent the feeling was among men of the time.
I think this is an interestingly mature comment. Nothing else.

Dude you're just rolling around in your own shit now. I don't have anything else to say.

>I don't however think that marrying early, having more strict sex roles, etc, would be bad for women or people in general. Perhaps why things were bad in say the Middle Ages was because of lack of technology and wealth.
Well said. Maybe, since society has matured and changed drastically over these many years, old laws that were relevant then, might not be relevant now
e.g. morals originating from religious beliefs etc etc

This thread was about age of consent. Not marriage
>No woman wants to share a husband
Stop fucking generalising you asshat. Polygamy is a most wonderful thing that is not just limited to one gender, although I will admit, not everyone is suitable to lead a poly lifestyle (men and women included).
For example saying:
>No woman would like little boys
Is so ignorant that it hurts my brain
>>4792
I agree with all your points.
Also >Does a YouTube channel count?
Did you make that MAPs video posted on /phile/ not long ago?
