I question just how common 12 and 14 year old marriages were, even in the 1920's."Everything I say was 100% normal in America - 100 years ago."
So, BoxerShorts47 is either (A) a time-traveler from the 1920s who cannot adapt to our present, (B) an absolute autist prone to degeneracy, (C) legitimately nostalgic for the past, (D) a self-hating Filipino who is attempting to be THE Uncle Tom for white people, (E) thinks being mad at the internet is how you woo pre-teen girls, or (F) all of the above.
Top kek at the example.Also, never mind that arranged marriages with huge age disparities are actually legal in many parts of the US, so technically, unless @BoxerShorts47 literally wants to fuck children, the law already caters to him.
Yeah, that fucking blew my mind, too.
For Reiss, her work is deeply personal. Raised in an insular Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, Reiss was forced at 19 into an arranged marriage which quickly became abusive. Under Orthodox Jewish law, only men have the right to grant a divorce.
I thought for sure I was going to see some obviously Arabic names with no mention of their background. Call this article writer Rian Johnson, because my expectations were subverted.
This is the kind of thing he could use as ammo if he wasn't a worse deviant himself.
