I find the bolded in red statements extremely disturbing, especially in the context of this thread, discussing child sexual predator victims.
A nine year old may be menstruating by fluke of her family's genetics or a pituitary anomaly. It is not 'instinct' to be sexually mature before you are fully physically mature, not to mention emotionally. She still will not be fully grown to adult height at age 9, and will not have lost all her baby teeth or gained all her adult teeth. Menarche and breast development are not interconnected; a girl can be having her first period, but has not started yet to develop her breasts. Her first period and full beast development could be 6 years apart. She may have begun growing sparse pubic hair, but will not have full growth until she is 17 or 18. She may not start growing hair under her arms for 3 years after her first period. Her epiphysis may not fuse (ends bone growth in the long bones) until she is 16. She won't be fully physically an adult until all those things happen. But it's our advanced society is 'prolonging their childhood'? Biology determines the breadth of their childhood. A society or community determines whether it's appropriate to let the 30 year-old deviants of the village force themselves on 9 year olds who still haven't gotten their 12 year molars, have not reached full adult height, and may be 5 years from reaching full breast development.
Our culture is keeping them infantile? Seriously?
Early civilization was barbaric. Millions of years of evolution has occurred. Evolution, your word, means change, biologically, to survive as the environment around one changes. It's silly to think "100 years can't undo 2 million years of evolution?" No disrespect, but it's 'silly' to think that sentence makes sense. Evolution is change. We've been doing it since the dawn of time. Even our DNA manages to do it.
Biologically normal men who are not afflicted with pedophilia could not even muster an erection at the thought of sex with, or sight of a naked 9 year old who just gotten her first period. Most would be nauseated. Most would feel the same about a 14 year old. In societies where being aroused by, and impregnating a 9 year old is common, it is perpetuated and celebrated by their culture and/or their religion. The males are humans, the master, the females are a receptacle for lust, a piece of property, chattel. This is not DNA. It's culture.
Was it programmed in human DNA to be instinctual to enslave other humans as if they were animals? All cultures have done it since the dawn of time. Slavery is instinct! Rape has existed since the dawn of time. Must be instinct. Even today, all men have it programmed on their DNA to rape? They're all just behaving because of our infantilizing, woman coddling society?
Can you outline what part of the male DNA strand, from the dawn of time and until now, resides the marker for all adult males to sexually respond with arousal to the thought, or sight, of any owners of bleeding orifices, no matter the chronological age of the orifice owner, or the stages of all the other parts of their physical and emotional maturity?
That one of your friends got married at 14 to a 28 year old man, and 'nobody bat an eyelid' speaks only to the culture of your countryside friends, and perhaps you. Behaviors, choices, acceptance of behaviors by the community are not proof of current evolved biological instinct. Biological instinct is an excuse people use to explain why they are behaving in a way that was only sociologically acceptable prior to our evolution into a civilized society. A civilized society which finds most 28 year old males actually seeing 14 year old girls as nothing more than they are. Still children.
