Calm down with the virtue signaling. Less than 100 years ago, 12 yr olds were getting married. 16 is the age of consent in most US states. Most of Europe too. Also, you may want to look up the definition of pedophile.
You are trying to pass this off as OK. Its not. If this were a 16 year old and 17 year old it would be a different story. This is a pedophile man seducing and grooming a young girl that is underage. Yes there are some marriages. As I say, there is something very sad and sick when a man this age marries a girl so much younger. If you read the comments you would see that most are in agreement with me. There are countries that allow 13 yr olds to get married as well. Roman Polanski raped a 13 yr old girl and Trenton Tarantino defended him saying the girl wanted it. Things are getting turned upside down in this matter. We need to protect Children from groomers. They are not equipped to say no to the tricks they use and can easily be swayed to marry for many reasons, including male attention.
So for thousands of years, when a female got her period, she was a woman, and eligible for marriage. 100 years ago, we extended 'childhood' to what we now call adolescence, and you think now it's getting turned upside down?
When I say they are getting turned upside down, I mean that many are trying to turn our Children into their toys and playthings sexually. For their own perverted pleasures. They are turning the tables hoping it will work. Hoping they can convince many that Children can decide to have sex with adults. Stop arguing in favor of the adult. When someone is that much older it is SICK. This is not sex between two teens.
Go back and read the tone of your post. It's faux outrage. You're ranting about how disgusted you are that a woman, OF LEGAL AGE, decided to marry an old man. No laws broken. Then you try to conflate this with pedophilia, which is sexual attraction to PREPUBESCENT children. C'mon man... really?
I am done trying to convince someone with your views. You are saying a 16 year old is an adult. NOpe. You are only picking out certain phrases. I am done arguing with someone that thinks it is OK for a someone old enough to be a grandfather to have sex with a Child. Evidently your strong views are not about to change.
There not even strong views. I, personally, wouldn't go this route, but it's legal, been accepted for THOUSANDS, read that again, THOUSANDS of years, and you want to pretend to be morally superior because 100 years ago, our culture changed. Enjoy your wokeness.

Andy explained when they first met - through Beth's mum - he didn't realise the 16-year-old had romantic feelings towards him.
Is he kidding? He was wishing and hoping his grooming tactics would work.
