    Lmao my guy over here trying to defend child marriage and rape with “akshually, societal context of the time makes that okay”.

    Will you attempt to defend slavery next?

    Some things in history are fucked up and objectively bad. Just because civilizations - even major ones - throughout history did a thing does not make it subjectively or objectively defensible, let alone acceptable.

    And before you even try to use “now vs future historians” as an argument: yes, I’m also pretty sure some things we do today and consider to be uncontroversial will, in the future, be considered reprehensible.
