14. cultures can change for the better

You example if ages being married off happens in many cultures including india.and india has a huge rape problem and other issues where women are treated horribly.

But i guess the thing is people can recognize why it's better not to do certain things anymore without seeing it in such a personal way. I don't think it's calling you dad a rapist to oppose marrying girls that young these days.

The United states itself has such a huge problem with the gun culture .

People like trump are bigots and it's important to remember he started of with going after hispanics. And there is the double standard of many to be outraged if the killer is a minority but nothing if is a white guy.
