Bangladesh has been accused of taking a “devastating step backwards” in the fight against child marriage by introducing a legal loophole that sets no age limit for wedlock.

 

The Child Marriage Restraint Bill keeps the legal age of marriage as 18 for women and 21 for men but introduces exceptions in “special cases” or for in the “best interests” of the adolescent.

Sounds like somebody wants to make Bangladesh great again.

Hey I know a cool magic trick:

 

1. Take a really bad idea.

2. Change the roots of the idea to be based on religion or culture, but don't change the basic philosophy.

3. Add a dash of Frankfurt school privilege theory.

4. Declare anyone who dissents to be a bigot.

 

Congratulations! You have magically turned a bad idea into one that is widely respected by plebs all over the world without actually changing its core reasoning!

 

Cool trick huh? This totally isn't exploitable for pushing cultural Marxist views that have already been proven in the past to not fucking work. Not exploitable at all!
