    Another thought, as socially conservative as we Americans are, it’s a wonder no politicians run on moving state marriage and consent ages to match our nationwide age of majority (18). Maybe it turns out to be a poisonous talking point? Can’t imagine anyone arguing, out loud anyway, for teen marriage. Weird.

    No, we do have Republican representatives who do openly argue for lowering the minimum marriage age. Like…a lot. All the fucking time, really

    Here’s a duck duck go search

    This happens so often I can’t even give you a list of names… And I have no idea why no one seems to talk about this

    Also, they get caught with CP or kids a lot. Lot of venom diagram overlap… Go figure

      Didn’t mean conservative politically, meant to comment on our overall sexual and social conservatism. America is, and always has been, weirdly Puritan.
