These days, 14-16 year old girls are lucky if they know how to cook more than mac 'n cheese.

This is true of American teens. I can not speak for European or teens from Canada. Latin and Asian teens are pretty mean cooks.

No... this still is going on in many Asian countries, and many African ones as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-pedo... I'm just saying that we get very uptight about the issue and make it much larger than it really is. There are 2 arguments... one on maturity level, which I agree 100% with all of you. Two, physically... are they ready to breed, or are they too young? Evolution says yes.
