Do you feel, as I do, that psycho-social manipulation is causing a massive up-rise of sexually deviant behavior?

We as humans can blame many outside sources! This being said that puts people in the "Victim" state that things are happening to them!! People are willing partners whether or not they realize it or not, whether or no they are conscious of it or not! That does NOT eliminate their responsibility for controlling THEIR own minds--MOST lack the self discipline to do that and the media and other KNOW this. The undisciplined mind WILL go down ANY rabbit trail you give it! Rather than trying to gather a tribe that believes as you do, look at the underlying issue of people NOT controlling their minds and help them to realize they are being manipulated but it is THEY that CAN control it--rather than being controlled by it!

I can see the part about the hair, that's not necessarily helpful. But the marriage around 13, that's too young. In the old days, girls had little else to do besides marry and have children. They didn't have access to education, safe careers, and freedoms about what they wanted to pursue in life. Today they do have access to education, they can have careers, and they can be self sufficient. Also, childbirth was and remains much riskier for teens. Just because they ovulate doesn't mean their bodies are ready for a healthy pregnancy or delivery. Many girls, just like many boys, don't really know what they want to do with their lives while they are in their teens. In college we still have any young men and women who say they have no clue what they want to even major in while freshmen. Because women do have more freedoms, which is good for them to not be stuck in marriages or with children they do not want, it is respectful, loving, and kind to allow them to get an education first and mature enough to decide. Because today, unlike way back when, they have many more options to choose from. If these freedoms opened up to boys as recently as to girls they too would want them. How many decisions haven't you made or infatuations didn't you have at 13 that you regretted or realized by 18 that it's good you didn't end up with that person. Life is also much longer now. We only started living past our 40's a few decades ago. It makes sense that if we are going to be with the same partner for 20-40 more years than we used to that we take a bit longer to decide who this person is and to get a few other things done besides keep it about the same thing, men and babies. Now there is more time, time to get an education, time to mature mentally as well as physically, and even when marrying later, there is still more time with one's partner. Men's minds shouldn't be broken by progress, they recognize it as such and support girls in having a safer life with more dignity and choice. Their minds would not break if they recognized this is worth a little impulse control. If they actually cared about the girls' and their well being and not just about getting a girl who is 13 to have sex with, they would realize giving them this extra bit of time is the right thing to do. They would also be glad that many of their mothers, sisters, and other women they know who are now alive are alive because they didn't die due to complications of teen childbirth. Just because something was done for all of history doesn't mean the way it's done today isn't better. We used to also not use toilets but it doesn't mean we have to go back to shitting in the streets.
