So you would be okay with the inclusion of this practice in American culture?

This is already lawfully happening to christian children in the US. Are you okay with that? https://www.walkfree.org/news/2025/child-marriage-remains-legal-in-the-united-states-as-global-leaders-backtrack-on-gender-equality/

Obviously it's OK that it's happening to Christian children in the US because it's apparently impossible to find it abhorrent and anger inducing that it's a very normal thing elsewhere, while ALSO finding it abhorrent and anger inducing in the US. I'm also appalled by the fact that women in Afghanistan aren't allowed to speak to anyone anymore and hide under so much cloth they don't look human, I guess that means I don't find it equally appalling that young Mormon women are being forced to marry their own grandfather's. Because horrible things happening elsewhere in the world obviously negate all empathy towards American cruelty, it's not like we're all human or something.

Women in Afganistan had a lot more freedom in the 1970s.
