Clearly, the most outstanding and obvious feature
of a socially primitive society with its fundamentalist
view of women as brood mares whose presence is
solely to fulfill the carnal needs of men is its view
of the place of girls and women in that society
where a sacred text of ancient origin instructs that
little girls from age 9 forward are suitable for sex.
Odious as it is to the civilized world this permission
gives great comfort to those males in the knowledge
that their dire needs have divine blessings and
can be met with the same fervour as committing to
other tenets of their faith. By contrast civilized societies
understand quite well the boundaries of the social weal
where neither children nor adult females can be viewed
as chattels else a moral crime has been committed within
an enlightened community. Aside from which predators
consumed with the passion of psychopathy within that
community pursue a similar goal of rape, merely sans
sanction and punishable by law. In the former men can
do no wrong in abusing women and girls, in the latter
carnal acts of depraved violence merit discipline
as long as the malefactors are not men of influence.
