I guess when people want to fight they always come back to this topic.
My observation (I am not speaking for anyone)
The women know that their young daughters (12 to 16) are not ready to be looked at this way. They are not arguing against the age gap they are looking at it from the practical aspect of their own daughters.
The men are not really "pervs", they are just fearful that they will not be able to find a spouse and settle down. Fear can make people respond aggressively.
If we stop accusing people of the worst and be more understanding of each other, it would be a good act of charity. (I know know one wants to look at this from that angle.) Carry on.
The women need to learn, understand and accept that their teenage girls are very appealing, even more so in their teens than when they are past 22, providing they are slim and not overweight, but feminist and ignorant people will claim a woman's brain isn't developed until 25

. It's ridiculous.
Consider this. How long does courtship take? 1 year max? How long does marriage prep take? 1 year?
If a woman's fertility peaks from 17-22 and Aristotle said 18 is the ideal age for marriage than you would expect a lady to courty around 16/17 so they would be married around 18.
