That would be convincing, if he took the time to show it. There's a feeling that much older men married teenagers more frequently in the past, but Somerby's stats don't prove that. It would be interesting to find out. But it won't be Somerby who does the leg work on that one. He'll just assert it's true, because he's so smart!<br />I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a 34 year old marrying a teenager. I do kind of have a problem when the 34 year old stalks teenagers.

Length of marriage with a nineteen year old male marrying a seventeen year old female or a nineteen year old female marrying a thirty three old male? I am that male, thirteen years with the first and thirty two years and counting with the second.<br /><br />Maybe a thirty three year old man might be a better judge of women. Not just me but my brother and two of our friends when we were teens had similar experiences. Their marriages when nineteen or twenty lasted about twelve years but their marriages when over thirty are still ongoing. Maybe men should not be issued marriage licenses until they are over thirty. jdmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412144350038186889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-91040566306197249062017-12-07T17:19:46.325-05:002017-12-07T17:19:46.325-05:00Magical thinking again. “I don’t believe this and ...Magical thinking again. “I don’t believe this and I don’t want it to be true, so it is false.” It doesn’t work this way.<br /><br />This is why women complain about not being believed and why they think it is futile to report.

You shouldn't be so sophistical if you want to persuade anyone. 'The item says (and I don't take it as gospel truth) that Toyota vehicles shipped to the anti-Assad rebels were commandeered by ISIS. It wasn't a policy intended to arm ISDIS. ISIS got most of its weapons from the Iraqi armed forces, which the US had supplied - there are grounds to criticize the policies toward Iraz, Syria, Libya etc, though hindsight is great. I would note that the same self-styled anti-Globalist site talks today about Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital - characterizing it as "disgraceful" and Trump peace process a hoax. In your obsessive and disingenuous Trump sycophancy, you lose credibility.

The main way for an adult woman to support herself was via marriage. The media began heavily promoting the idea of woman as homemaker in order to encourage this economic transition.<br /><br />During earlier time periods, and currently in other places around the world, women have been considered a financial drag on a family. Marrying them off was a way to get rid of the extra mouth to feed. The poorer the family, the younger the brides. <br /><br />Nobel prize winning economist Amartya Sen showed globally that educating women and encouraging their participation in work was a pathway to economic improvement for those countries where women were undereducated and confined to home and early marriage. Economic prosperity is strongly linked to women's rights worldwide and there is no reason for the US to be an exception to that.<br /><br />That means selfish jerks who do not wish to compete for age-appropriate dates need to keep their hands off young girls until the girls are out of high school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-63707506753773943312017-12-07T13:50:43.766-05:002017-12-07T13:50:43.766-05:00"Did we mention the fact that the year was 19..."Did we mention the fact that the year was 1950? In that year, the average age of first marriage for American women was 20.3 years of age."<br />There is no such statistic. The US Census Bureau gives the MEDIAN age of first marriage, which indeed is 20.3 for females in 1950. The median age for men in 1950? 22.8<br />What percentage of those marriages of 20.3 year old women were with 34 or 40 year old men? We have no idea. The data doesn't tell us that. Somerby has only shown (if you correct his error) what the median age for women was/is, not how common it was for 34 year olds to marry 16 year olds. His anecdotes coupled with mislabeled statistics don't prove anything. <br />I hope Somerby didn't teach statistics to those Baltimore students. Or logic.
