wait until marriage.- pure and simple.
Do you propose sending to jail all those people who have sex outside marriage, or do you think females should not have the right to have sex with a male without requiring him to be responsible for any offspring that might be produced (so that procreation without marriage esentially entails common-law marriage)? It strikes me that females sometimes get abused into marriage just as they get abused into sex that does not entail male responsibility, so allowing even young females just to marry wouldn't decrease their chances of getting abused all that much, though admittedly it might help somewhat.
One approach that might work pretty well is for society to force similarly-aged males who procreate with young females into common-law marriage, but don't force fully adult males into that. The reason I think so many girls get abused is that they mainly have relationships with similarly-aged males. Abusive young males, who seduce via violence and their addictive qualities, are pretty much near the peak of their (abusive) powers, whereas their good similarly-aged competitors (who attract more via understanding) are not by any means so. If girls mainly had relationships with men instead of boys, good males would more tend to have the skill set necessary to triumph over their bad competitors in attracting young females, and indeed there would be no reason to suppose that good men would be less attracting of young females than bad men. Quite the contrary, considering my reasonings in the previous posts of this thread.
Females have a more strong tendency to be influenced by peers and to develop their opinions in concert with others of their sex. Since girls are so attracted to moral goodness in males, what girls consider themselves as a whole to want from sex is perhaps more ethical than what women as a whole consider themselves to want from it. Accordingly, good clean girls I honestly think have a better understanding of reproductive morality (once they have begun to have occasion to start thinking about it much) than good clean women have. Indeed, good girls seem so much more attracted to good males than good women are, I can think of no other explanation except that there aren't hardly any good females willing to behave unselfishly, which my intuition refuses to believe.
Obviously eleven-year-old girls know intuitively what morality is in males inasmuch as they are so pleased by it, and since adult females don't seem much attracted by it in comparison, the only explanation is that adult females are pretty much all immoral or that adult females have become more stupid than when they were young about what moral virtue is in males. The latter alternative seems a more economical explanation. It's like what Christ said, I guess, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Or better yet, maybe it's more like the popular saying--girls are "sugar and spice and everything nice," while boys are "snips and snails and puppy-dog tails."
