That was a thing in Southern Italy. Heck, it's mentioned in Romeo and Juliet as a complaint. It took a lot of effort to stop it. It was known in Spain as well. Once again this was stopped but we still see mentions of it in the cultures.

Roman slaves were considered less human so it was common enough to demand sexual favors from them. This wasn't all of Rome and there were people complaining about it even then.

I have friends from places like Iraq and Iran and they constantly complain that the lower people are being let into our country and ruin their good name. Mercy killings, child brides, and worse are real and also hated.

It's the same as foot binding in China. When you talk to most non historians, they say it was from men and promoted by the emperor. Instead, the emperors banned it several times, and men wrote essays on its evils. Women promoted it, especially in the more backwoods areas, and then let it grow. The magazines that promoted it had less views than my YouTube videos. It was a very niche porn. Even today, women are found with broken feet even though most of China has moved on.

Could we find horrible people in any walk of life doing awful things? Yes. Does most of society want it? Not really. The problem is stopping it is usually from a top down perspective, so it feels like rebellion to have a child bride.

Can we find it in the USA among white people? Yes. I had friends who were caught up in that system. I know one friend has a dad go in and shoot people who had pimped out his daughter. Then his brother continued to push it. We know Epstein Island exists. I've spotted a friend on a website because she sent a video to a guy she thought was her boyfriend.

Should we judge ourselves based on the evils in our own society? Should we seek out and stop those evils? How should we show other societies how to do it? Believe me, I want to know in an actual way, because of what I've seen and heard.
