    Something that the society achieved in the last 150 years are two dogmas:

    • 5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
    • people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18

    I’m kinda glad that questioning these puts one into a category of weirdos.

      5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum

      Gig workers and 2-2-3/7-7 shifters that are often forced to work on the off-days:

      people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18

      It’s mostly “people younger than 16 should not have sex with people 18 or older”, because legal age does not match age of consent. Even then, there are some regions that tend to disagree, most notably China, Central Europe and South American countries that put the lower bound to as low as 14. But it still leaves 18-year olds to be open for grooming by perverts of any age. And that, according to DHS, 8% of women had sex with somebody before reaching the age of 14, 41% had it before age of 16, and 67% before 18, putting any such “dogma” into further questioning.

      Disclaimer: Not proposing anything here, just pointing that answers to those questions are far from being settled upon.

      I question this, it’s way too much labor with not enough compensation.
