Agreed.

There’s also the more obvious explanation:

Oh yes, let me use this foreign culture that I know little about solely for the purpose of bashing western civilization. Sigh.

Fantastic non sequitur, 10/10.

The Rind et al. controversy was a debate in the scientific literature, public media, and government legislatures in the United States regarding a 1998 peer reviewed meta-analysis of the self-reported harm caused by child sexual abuse (CSA).
