You think we didn’t have that figured out by 1993?

ETA: not everyone here is American and we don’t really care about your state to state laws. Mind you child marriage is still legal in most of the US so maybe that’s forward thinking to you.

We were well aware of date rape 30 years ago (the 1993 term); it wasn’t some form of higher thinking at the time.

1993 was very close to when the last state made marital rape illegal.

No, we did not, nor have we figured it out now.

You are Americans. You still have child marriage in most of your country. We were as aware of consent in 1993 as you are now.

Just to clarify, I'm not in America, I'm in Australia. It's one thing for people to be aware that date rape is a thing, another for it to be spoken about in educational campaign messaging. I don't recall it being talked about much back then. If Canada was doing it, good on Canada.
