As opposed to our culture’s systemic (and taboo) pederasty. Yes, we modern types have some solid ground to judge other folks on, eh?
Rather than approving/disapproving of female genital mutilation, or Etoro pederasty, I think it comes down to this: since we have never experienced an intact family culture with a sustainable connection to the Land, we have no sane measure to judge another culture by. How about that for cultural relativism?
Even if it EVER became our business to judge and police other cultures, we have no tools to do so, as a culture. We don’t even know how to disagree without starting a war.
In our culture, we conflate conflict with violence, and intimacy with sex. Crying and mewing like preemies imprisoned within clear plastic boxes that number in the billions, and that stretch to the horizon, I find our opinions on just about anything suspect and irrelevant, as long as it doesn’t involve the immediate and pressing need of dealing with our own rended souls and families, our tiny little lungs and hearts starved for the oxygen of real human experiences that create whole people.
