People are rightfully saying its not 17 year old women,16 year old woman, etc, this is in the USA, its child.
Something though that the USA has (I assume they still exist) is those creepy child beauty pageants and the purity rings.
Sexualising children (or am I out of line) they are icky aren’t they

Are child beauty pageants still a thing? I though they went out of fashion after that child was kidnapped and murdered. Haven’t heard of them for a long time.

The purity thing is vulgar. It is just young women being shamed into giving up control of their own bodies to the men in their lives. Firstly their fathers and then their husband. Never to take control for themselves. It is just the same old bronze-age or iron-age patriarchy in the guise of religion.
