to you, the say
Too young, they said
We get very upset and loudly condemn men who have
sex with women at seventeen or younger.
Our vehemence against men who sleep with under-aged girls, in our Western society is, quite frankly, not honest
Our ostracism is also fake, it is designed to show that men
side with women in this immoral matter.
Many men have also unwittingly slept with mere “girls”
especially in the bar and nightclub milieu, where women tend to, when tarted up, look older than their years.
In some cultures many young women get married at fifteen, (Romeo&Juliet were 15 and 14)
I think in these cases, say like Edward, the prince, we must forgive and not condemn men to forever be
excluded from polite society and not succumbing to the hatred that lacks charity towards the trespassers.

I feel your observation (underage sexual contact or even marriage) between adolescent and adult members can be validated when applied to underdeveloped societies, where life expectancy is shorter and the need for accelerated population growth serves a common good.
However, in western societies where advanced medicine has extended life expectancy well into 70 or 80 years, and social and monetary norms/requirements necessitate additional learning/training in order for young people to become self sufficient and productive members, more time is needed, let alone factoring in that adolescents within these societies do not fully comprehend nor appreciate this need.
In addition adult men/women within western cultures who's only desire is to experience these sexual contacts should be frowned upon in the least and/or punished, for it is detrimental to the long term good of said society.
I can appreciate a part of your argument, but it is extremely short sighted.
