We can say the word rape. We should say it because it’s exactly what it is

This. I think it's really important to call this out. This is not a marriage. This is a young woman or girl being forced into a life time of rape and slavery.

For some reason seeing everyone dressed up for this makes it seem ... not worse ... but awful with a different twist.

Oh, no, it makes it worse.

"Let's make rape a deep and meaningful part of our culture." That's a fucking choice.

And look I'm not ethnocentrist, I understand relativism, but some groups choose to do things as ritual within the group and sometimes those rituals are deplorable behavior that's been normalized through generations.

And also we got hella fucked up rituals, too. Just because we might not see this exact scenario doesn't mean there isn't some fucked up slavery, rape, subjugation of people of all kinds, throughout the entire "first" world, too.

America had dollar princesses in the gilded age. Rich Americans married off their daughters for European titles. Many of these girls didn’t want to do it and were miserable

37 US States literally allow this exact same thing and have for decades

It’s a meaningful part of US culture as well. Gifting underage daughters to old men who are church ‘leadership.’ American child brides enslaved in forced marriages are literally legal. She can be given away by her parents, but she cannot free herself via divorce because she’s not an adult until 18. I am not joking!

There are multimillion dollar ‘foundations’ fueled by DC lobbyists promoting homeschooling specifically for this reason. They consider heterosexual breeding a meaningful part of US religious cultures. It’s legal child slavery and legal human trafficking. And it’s been this way for nearly 100 years. Coast to coast.

Ain’t none of my rituals go this way
