Comment on Leonardo DiCaprio meets a woman
Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of ‘‘they married young in the past’’ can’t possibly be a myth.
Average marrying age in 1950 was 20. Well after high school, and there’s plenty of scandals documented of middle aged or old men marrying teens that drew responses of shock and moral outrage.

You’re being sarcastic but that’s a correct statement. When talking about a lower bound on something, the only information one can directly infer from the statement “13 is too low” is “any number below 13 is also too low.” If you’re arguing that “13 is too low” implies “16 is too low” then ditto 19, 22, 25. It’s an absurd argument.
