I'm amused there's no comment on this post. The US has deep Puritan roots. Add to that the rank hypocrisy of the current fascism & you come up with folks afraid to comment on a historical narrative. Mind you, that's at the same time these fascists are constantly trying to LOWER the Age of Consent & Marriage for white girls. Louisiana, Missouri, Iowa & more have strong movements advocating for that -- with that adjectival requirement.
Each society works out the rules they follow eventually. Autre temps; Autre mores.
