      I know that Germany only made rape inside the marriage a crime in 1997. And some conservatives argued against it with your words: it is an old custom/tradition.

      Oh and one of those assholes that voted against criminalizing it has good chances to be chancellor next year. Great country I’m living in.

      It’s not atypical for traditional cultures to have “courtship” customs and rituals that don’t stand up to modern ideas about consent.

      Well, yeah.

      Droit du seigneur comes to mind.

      Y’all that think 2024 is a fucked up time really should have paid attention in history class and done some of your own reading.
