      You could have left colonialism out of it. You brought the western shit into the discussion. If you just said the west has better age of consent, everyone would agree.

        No, I was making the point that it’s currently popular to shit on the West exporting its ideals, but when it’s something as blindingly obvious as “maybe 9 year old girls shouldn’t be forced into marriage” then maybe on this one occasion that sense of superiority is well placed and necessary

      That is clearly a reach given the statement “thinking the west has a better way is colonialism” is a massively ahistorical racist take.
