I suppose it’s a cultural thing. My daughter is 14 and I cannot imagine her being ready to marry.

I think its an insensitive and callous thing. No girl is ready at that age. But, these people think its better that way since she doesn’t have the maturity to know better...she can be controlled and manipulated to what the man wants her to be. It’s not real important that she understands her own self and interests. Her own desire for her future. Because at that age not many people know. I’m disgusted at the primitive mind set

To All,

No culture can justify the engagement of minors in activity exclusive to adults. I’m not at all pleased with Robertson’s 4-year spread that involved ages less than 17 — a perspective I’ve maintained since my teenage years of over 30 years ago.

I have no problem condemning Robertson’s teenage engagements. Old enough to go to war. Old enough to behave like an adult. And old enough to be treated like one.

So despite my disapproval of his early years, this has no bearing on the important distinction Robertson made between the anus and the vulva. The a-hole ain’t a reproductive organ. And to those that disagree, ESAD.
