It's "not uncommon" for middle aged Afghan men to marry 11 year old girls. The more I learn about these people the more I like the nuclear option. Yeah, I know it would kill the innocent kids too, but at least they won't be raped by an old man nightly.

yes you can

Marriying 11 year old girs, they are taught that this is okay since they are children, you think its disgusting because you were taught that its wrong

Eating pork, you are taught that this is okay since you were a child, they think its disgusting because they are taught it is wrong due to their religion

What's to say that they can't consent in Afghanistan?

Different laws shocker!

An offensive generalisation too far.
