If you’re here reading this article of mine, you’re going to be in for the shock of your life once I give you the heads-up on Chelsea Clinton. Since Bill Clinton first ran for president back in the early 1990s, many of us have known Chelsea Clinton to be the daughter of one of our former presidents as well as the daughter of one of our presidential candidates and our former United States Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton). Regardless of whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, the facts and information that I set forth to you herein are going to blow your mind; and if you are a fan of the Clintons, you will never feel the same about them again, particularly Chelsea Clinton. It’s funny how nobody ever seems to address Chelsea Clinton by her married name. The press and the media don’t seem to have very much interest in her husband, and most of us can’t even remember his name. However, nothing about her will shock you as much as what I’m about to tell you.
As I have pointed out in previous articles of mine here on the Hive writing platform, Fraidy Reiss is the founder of an organization named Unchained At Last whose objective is to push for the passage of legislation throughout our nation against what she refers to as “child marriage.” However, she is not only referring to small children under the age of eleven becoming wedded but also adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. Of course, she has no reason to be concerned about children under 11 years old getting married, because the English Common Law dictates that no state jurisdiction here in our nation is supposed to allow any girl younger than 12 years of age or any boy younger than 14 years of age to get married under any circumstances. My article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage” provides thorough information on why banning all marriage before the age of eighteen in our nation would have devastating effects on our society, our economy, and even our national security. Ms. Reiss also has her own YouTube channel wherein she has posted videos regarding her agenda and her efforts to promote it. Anyhow, not too long ago, I came across a video on Ms. Reiss’s YouTube channel wherein she was providing a speech to a group of people regarding her agenda and her plan to push it. It was no surprise to me that I could hear the sound of silverware and glasses from the audience. Ms. Reiss actually had to bribe people with food and beverages to get them to attend her lecture. What greatly took me off guard was when I saw that Chelsea Clinton had appeared on camera with Ms. Reiss to co-host this event. Here is the YouTube video below.
Chelsea Clinton Speaks In Favor Of Banning Marriage Before The Age of Eighteen In Our Country
Now, I realize that there are people on both sides of the battle line on this issue of underage marriage who are reading my article; and before any of you out there who may be a big fan of Fraidy Reiss cheer on Chelsea Clinton, I can tell you right now that you are going to be shocked at what a hypocrite Chelsea Clinton really is to latch onto this same cause. The contents of my article here will be something for you to chew on for a long time. Those of you reading my article who, like me, oppose Ms. Reiss’s efforts to seek a ban against all marriage before the age of eighteen are going to be happy that I exposed Chelsea Clinton for the hypocrite that she really is. I am going to cite statements of both Chelsea Clinton and Ms. Reiss from the above-described YouTube video as I point out the facts that either contradict what they are saying or place their veracity into serious question.
1. Chelsea Clinton Was A Silent Collaborator To The Late Jeffrey Epstein And Ghislaine Maxwell’s Crimes Against Young Girls
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are probably aware of the sex scandal regarding the late Jeffrey Epstein that has been generating stories in the press and the media throughout 2019. The latest story about him encompasses his recent “suicide.” Articles and news stories appearing in both the press and the media provide details of how the late Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, turned a Caribbean island into a nightmare for a large group of girls whose ages range from 13 to 16 years old. According to these news stories, the late Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are like wealthy clones of Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido, except that they took their covert criminal activities much further and turned their sexual exploitation and sexual enslavement of adolescent girls into a moneymaking machine. Ms. Maxwell acted as a madam and a recruiter for this unlawful operation that ruined the lives of a countless number of young girls. The late Mr. Epstein was indicted in 2006 for his criminal activities in this regard, and, much to our criminal justice system’s disgrace, he received a light sentence for it in 2008. Ms. Maxwell has never been punished for her crimes to this very day.
Well, lo and behold, Chelsea Clinton has been a close friend of Ms. Maxwell for a long time, and she continued to be friends with her subsequent to both the late Mr. Epstein’s arrest in 2006 and his conviction in 2008. An article ironically titled “Chelsea Clinton denies she was ever close friends with Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged ‘madam’” by Martha Ross reveals that Chelsea Clinton vacationed with Ms. Maxwell on a yacht in 2009, and Ms. Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010. Chelsea Clinton denies that she was aware that Ms. Maxwell was a “madam” who pandered teenage girls in complicity with Mr. Epstein until 2015, but the truth about Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Esptein was out in the news after 2006. Therefore, Chelsea Clinton had to have been well aware of the sex crimes that Ms. Maxwell had committed against adolescent girls as young as 13 years old. Nevertheless, in the above-described YouTube video, Chelsea Clinton is found shooting off her mouth about how she believes that any teenage girl who gets married before the age of eighteen is somehow a victim of sexual exploitation. My article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage” debunks that same myth that Chelsea Clinton tried to sell to the public alongside Ms. Reiss. Chelsea Clinton continued to use the word “exploitation” throughout the above-described lecture to describe teenage marriage. How can I not laugh at her for doing so? She is a bosom buddy of Ms. Maxwell, who has earned her reputation as the Queen of sexual exploitation of teenage girls. Chelsea Clinton ranted on in that same lecture about how our nation needed to protect the rights of women. I agree that we do. However, what about the rights of those young girls that the late Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victimized on Little Saint James Island (also known as “Orgy Island”)? Ironically, Little Saint James Island is a part of the Virgin Islands. Chelsea Clinton knew all about these crimes, and yet she continued on being friends with Ms. Maxwell. Now everyone? Ask yourselves this one question. Should we allow Chelsea Clinton to influence areas of domestic policy that have an impact on the youth of our nation, when she herself has been in bed with the very people who may have harmed one of your daughters? I think all of you know the answer to that question as well as I do.
Chelsea Clinton had the audacity to inject the subject of Elizabeth Cady Stanton into her speech in the above-described YouTube video. If any of you don’t know who Elizabeth Cady Stanton is, she was a feminist activist who campaigned for women’s rights and suffrage back in the 19th century. Chelsea Clinton was correct in stating in her same speech that Elizabeth Cady Stanton did seek to pass laws to provide women with more agency in marriage. However, nowhere in our nation’s history books have I come across any statement that Elizabeth Cady Stanton made that declared “18” to be the magic number to become old enough for marriage. Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed slavery here in our nation when it was still legal; and if she were alive today, she would have been extremely appalled with Chelsea Clinton for remaining involved with Ghislaine Maxwell after finding out that Ms. Maxwell capitalized on pandering young girls who were often raped in the process.
Toward the end of the above-described lecture in Ms. Reiss’s YouTube video, Chelsea Clinton stated that she didn’t want her son or her daughter to grow up in a country where a minor can get married. Yet, at the same time, she has never seemed to have any problem with the late Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell luring adolescent girls as young as 13 years old to Little Saint James Island to be forced into prostitution and all sorts of sexual atrocities. Chelsea Clinton is clearly a hypocrite, and she is a liar like her mother. If she truly cared about the personal safety and well-being of teenage girls (12 to 17 years old), she would have severed all ties with Ms. Maxwell shortly after the sex scandal came out about Ms. Maxwell’s lover and partner in crime, the late Jeffrey Epstein. However, she didn’t. Her father, Bill Clinton, made numerous trips on what the press and the media has often referred to as the Lolita Express private jet that the late Mr. Epstein owned, and she had to have known about it. Therefore, what gives her the right to tell anyone whether or not they can get married before the age of eighteen? We as a society need to beware of these kinds of public figures. Chelsea Clinton is a bad seed, and Fraidy Reiss had to have known that she was so in this regard before she ever invited her to speak with her in the above-described YouTube video.
2. Chelsea Clinton Added To Her Hypocrisy In The Article That She Co-Authored With Fraidy Reiss
There is an article that Chelsea Clinton and Fraidy Reiss co-wrote wherein they reiterated all the same malarkey that they spewed in their lecture shown in the above-described YouTube video. It is titled “Child Marriage Is Still Happening In The U.S. & Around The World.” Therein Chelsea Clinton had the audacity to claim that she has been opposed to minors getting married for a long, long time. That is, therein it stated that “Chelsea has been a long-time advocate against child marriage in the U.S. and around the world, and supporter of organizations leading those efforts, including Unchained at Last.” Now, let me get this. Chelsea Clinton thinks that it is wrong for a girl to get married at 17 years of age on her own volition and live happily ever after with the one she loves after going through the proper legal channels, but she finds nothing wrong with the sexual atrocities that Ghislaine Maxwell and the late Jeffrey Epstein committed against adolescent girls on Little Saint James Island. I don’t know about you, but I am really darn glad that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election. After you read the information regarding Hillary Clinton in my article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage,” you will see that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree. Hillary Clinton has claimed to be a champion of the rights of women and young girls; whereas she acted as the defense attorney for a middle-aged man who had brutally raped a 12-year-old girl back in 1975, and she shows no regret for having done so to this very day. Chelsea Clinton has vocalized her so-called mission or rather crusade against teenagers getting married before they’re legally old enough to vote in the presidential elections, whereas she was a silent collaborator in all of the sexual atrocities that the late Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell committed against a whole boatload of adolescent girls as young as 13 years of age. Are you starting to see a pattern here with these two Clinton women?
In the same article that Chelsea Clinton and Ms. Reiss co-wrote, it stated that Chelsea Clinton was vice chair of the Clinton Foundation. Really? There has been a great amount of negative publicity against the Clinton Foundation. One of the rumors that has been circulating around for a while is that Chelsea Clinton and her husband have been living off of money from the Clinton Foundation for over a decade and that funds were even used from it to pay for their wedding in 2010. Law-enforcement officials high up in the criminal justice system have expressed suspicions in the press and the media regarding the Clinton Foundation. Why should we Americans trust Chelsea Clinton with the well-being of our youth? As the title of my article here reads, Chelsea Clinton doesn’t truly care about 13-year-old brides. She doesn’t care about any brides below the age of eighteen. She never will. Like her parents, she lives by double standards at the detriment of others.
In the above-described article, Chelsea Clinton and Ms. Reiss employed the tacky tactic of dredging up their famous story about the 24-year-old Idaho man who raped his 14-year-old girlfriend, got her pregnant, and then married her. I addressed this same incident in my article titled “Idaho Wisely Rejects Underage Marriage Bill.” What is so outrageous about this tactic of theirs is that they would never allow anyone to speak at one of their lectures who would give their audience a true story about a 14-year-old girl who married her 24-year-old boyfriend and lived happily ever after.
3. Fraidy Reiss Lacks Candor Similarly To Chelsea Clinton
Fraidy Reiss didn’t show herself to have any more scruples than Chelsea Clinton as she fed her audience with lie after lie in her lecture regarding “child marriage” in her above-described YouTube video. One of the claims that Ms. Reiss made in her lecture was that no homeless shelter anywhere in our nation would take in a teenage runaway who was still a minor if unaccompanied by a parent or a legal guardian, because these homeless shelters feared being criminally charged for doing so. She was not being truthful, because Covenant House takes in teenage runaways as young as 14 years old throughout the nation and even as young as 13 years old in some of their facilities without any parent or legal guardian’s presence. This organization has been providing shelter to runaway teenagers and young adults since the 1960s, and, to the best of my knowledge, the people who work in them have never experienced the kinds of problems from the authorities that Ms. Reiss described in her lecture. Ms. Reiss had to have known about this fact, because she is from the New Jersey/New York/Connecticut tri-state area and she has previously lived in New York City where Covenant House is headquartered.
Ms. Reiss insisted in her lecture that no minor can sign a retainer agreement with an attorney without their parents’ or legal guardians’ permission. She cannot be correct in what she has said, because children’s rights attorneys are representing minors against their parents in legal emancipation cases and other types of legal matters all the time throughout our nation. I may not have a law degree, but I am sure that there are ways to work around that hurdle that Ms. Reiss described in her lecture in the event that it was a problem for such minors. For example, possibly a guardian ad litem could be court-appointed in that event. In any event, I cannot place much stock in what Ms. Reiss says and neither should you.
Ms. Reiss stressed in her above-described lecture that the United States Department of State considered “child marriage” to be a human rights abuse and that our Federal government has spent exorbitant amounts of money to end it elsewhere in the world. She specified that our Federal government has allocated eleven million dollars a year for this same purpose. As I have conveyed in my article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage,” the United States Department of State was obviously referring to little girls who were forced into unwanted marriages in oppressive patriarchies that were common in the Middle East and in certain underdeveloped nations. They were not talking about Loretta-Lynn-style marriages here in our country. Anyhow, as I have conveyed in previous articles of mine here on this writing platform, I do not feel that it is our Federal government’s place to be allocating eleven million dollars a year to end child marriage overseas. Instead, our Federal government needs to use that same taxpayers’ money to battle poverty here in our own nation. Of course, I am a firm supporter of the Monroe Doctrine in terms of its isolationist and non-interventionist ideologies. I realize that other Americans may not view it the same way I do.
4. Fraidy Reiss Fails To Understand How Her Agenda Could Hurt Our Nation
Ms. Reiss complained in her lecture in the above-described YouTube video that 23 states in our nation have either deviated from her agenda or have rejected it altogether. Perhaps they have done so, because they realize how harmful it would be to the people of our nation as a whole and it would severely infringe upon the individual rights of our nation’s youth if they were to let her have her own way about it. Ms. Reiss called the idea of an adolescent girl being able to marry as young as 12 years of age unconscionable in the article that she co-wrote with Chelsea Clinton; but if all of our state jurisdictions are to ban marriage before the age of eighteen, I can describe to you a fate that will be undoubtedly unconscionable for many people who don’t deserve the problems that will ensue as a result.
When a 13-, 14-, or 15-year-old girl becomes pregnant and the father of her baby is an adolescent boy the same age as her or slightly older than her, she may endure a great amount of mental abuse at the hands of her baby daddy; and usually he has only used her for sex so that he can brag about it to his peers as a filthy topic of conversation in a boys’ locker room setting. It does not help her situation when that same teenage boy slut-shames her to her entire school and encourages other youngsters to bully her. On the other hand, when a girl between 13 and 15 years old becomes pregnant and the father of her unborn child is a man in his twenties or older who wants to step up to the plate and do the right thing, usually she and her baby's father are relying upon their right to get married to shield them from the poisonous tentacles of the criminal justice system inasmuch as the statutory-age-of-consent laws across our nation lack safeguards in them to prevent the wrong people from being persecuted by them. It does nobody any good if there is no such pathway for them to make their relationship legal so that the adult father of the baby may support the young girl and their baby. Moreover, everybody involved in the situation suffers, including the young girl and their baby, if the criminal justice system is allowed to treat the baby's father like a dangerous sex criminal. If he goes to prison and the girl’s immediate family is poor, one can be rest assured that both the young girl and her child will end up on welfare. Meanwhile, everyone knows that prison is not going to be any walk in the park for the baby's father. He may become psychologically damaged while serving time behind bars because of the blatant problem that our nation has with prison rape. A man described his ordeal behind bars in his book titled Sex Offender: 72 Days in Orange County Jail. It’s interesting how so many femi-Nazi extremists and self-appointed pedo-experts idolize prison rapists as dark avengers by some self-defined standard. All you have to do is read their comments on YouTube or anywhere on the Internet to see how they think so highly of prison rapists. However, whenever one of these prison rapists sexually victimize one of these femi-Nazi extremists or self-appointed pedo-experts or their loved ones, then these prison rapists don’t seem so high and holy to them.
Anyhow, getting back to my point, once the baby's father gets out of prison and he is reunited with the young girl and their child, their life doesn’t get any better. He will likely have to register as a sex offender, possibly for life. He, therefore, will not be able to find a job that easily, among other things. An online article titled “Is a 21 y.o. With a 15 y.o. Girlfriend a "sex offender" the next 25 years?” by Lenore Skenazy describes precisely how ridiculous the sex-offender-registry laws are in our nation, and it explains the Eighth Amendment constitutional concerns that people have about them. There is a good chance that the teenage girl and her baby's father may become trapped in a vortex of poverty and in the vicious cycle of welfare because of all of these problems that could have otherwise been avoided if the pregnant teenage girl had initially been allowed to marry her baby’s father. Also, being on welfare is no walk in the park here in our nation. Below you will find a YouTube video of a woman harassing a man in front of her at a checkout counter in Walmart simply because he was using a food stamps card.

5. Chelsea Clinton And Fraidy Reiss Need To Realize That People Who Live In Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Stones
In their lecture in their above-aforementioned YouTube video, Ms. Reiss and Chelsea Clinton both seemed to like throwing the words “loophole” and “loopholes” all over the place in describing the statutory provisions that certain states in our nation have in their marriage laws that enable minors to wed legally if certain conditions are met. In my article titled “Underage Marriage Is Not A Loophole,” I explain why their logic is completely erroneous and misguided. Ms. Reiss could very well be the one misusing loopholes in the law to serve her own agenda. If you look on her website, you’ll notice that Unchained At Last is a section 501(c)(3) organization. A section 501(c)(3) organization is generally prohibited by law from lobbying to influence legislation. Otherwise, it could lose its non-profit tax-exempt status. In her lecture in her above-aforementioned YouTube video, Ms. Reiss admitted to authoring a bill to ban all marriage before the age of eighteen and submitting it to the state legislature of New York. Therefore, if she hasn’t violated this same law regarding 501(c)(3) organizations, then she has been riding on the edge of it at minimum. Hence, she really should not be misusing words like “loophole” or “loopholes” to describe adolescent marriage.
Ms. Reiss and her organization, Unchained At Last, offer nothing in return for getting people to agree with their legislative intentions. For example, they have never proposed for reforms to be made in the statutory-age-of-consent laws throughout our nation. They could also ask legislators to immunize teenage minors legally from being charged with contempt of court for refusing to testify against their older significant others in frivolous and malicious statutory-rape cases, but they will not even drive that short of the distance to establish some kind of reasonable middle ground with those who oppose their agenda. They could urge legislatures to pass laws that would impose the death penalty against prison rapists, but they won’t even entertain that little of reasonability in their efforts. Nowadays monsters like Fleece Johnson and LaMark Moore can get on camera and brag about all the men that they have raped in prison. However, Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden had to struggle to explain to television viewers how their feelings for each other were real and genuine after they got married despite their age difference once television shows began inviting them for interviews. I think that we can be rest assured that there are more teenage girls in our nation who are happily married to older men than there are men who like getting raped in prison. Ms. Reiss and her supporters have done nothing to hide the fact that their agenda is clearly a hostile war that they are waging against the men of our nation. Therefore, I don’t think any of us can rightfully criticize the decisions of any of the legislators in the 23 states that have either deviated from their agenda or have rejected it altogether.
Ms. Reiss does very little, if anything, to ingratiate herself with elected officials. In her current home state of New Jersey, she became outraged when former Governor Chris Christie vetoed a marriage bill that was intended to ban all marriage before the age of eighteen. In her lecture in her above-aforementioned YouTube video, she referred to former Governor Christie as “America’s most hated governor.” Her statement about him was very unfair and quite inaccurate. When Governor Christie ran for president in 2016, people in the audience and even some of the other candidates competing against him for the presidential bid admired his character and his ability to understand the issues affecting our nation. The only reason that he lost the presidential election was because Donald J. Trump had a better strategy than any of the other Republican presidential candidates to beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. However, if Governor Christie had won the Republican nomination for president, he probably would have put up a good fight against Hillary Clinton and he would have made it into the White House. In that event, he would have likely handled the nation’s economy and other issues just as well as Donald J. Trump, if not better. I can confidently say that probably more people think highly of former Governor Christie than they do of Ms. Reiss or Chelsea Clinton.
6. Chelsea Clinton And Fraidy Reiss Engage In Selective Hearing
During her lecture in the above-aforementioned YouTube video, Ms. Reiss continued to emphasize that she believed that the minimum marriageable age should be no different from the age of majority in each state under any circumstances. She ranted and raved on about how she believed that even 17 years old was way too young to get married and that it was just as an extreme form of child marriage as a minor getting married at any age younger than that. However, there is also a movement going in our country to lower the voting age to an age that would be younger than 18 years old. As a matter of fact, certain jurisdictions in the state of Maryland already allow for individuals as young as 16 years old to vote in elections. Stories to this effect have already hit the news. Ms. Reiss constantly calls teenage marriage (“child marriage” in her words) an “ancient relic from a sexist past.” However, her idea of stripping marital rights away from teenage minors as well as the benefits that come with them is about as archaic as it gets, and this same idea of hers only serves a fundamentalist agenda rather than offering a practical solution to anything.
After reading the article that Fraidy Reiss and Chelsea Clinton co-wrote, I was not mindless of the fact that arranged marriages and forced marriages involving minors do exist around the world. However, there are so few of them here in our nation that our states do not need to resort to the extreme measures that Ms. Reiss and her organization are proposing to legislatures throughout the country. Conventional wisdom holds that if you have a tumor on your liver, you get a doctor or surgeon to cut the tumor out of your liver rather than having the entire liver removed. However, Ms. Reiss’s school of thought appears to be the opposite. In other words, if legislatures can change the laws so that minors can easily get out of an abusive marriage, then there is no need to ban all marriage before the age of eighteen altogether. However, Ms. Reiss is not willing to think outside the box with her agenda, and, therefore, her so-called well-meaning agenda is really not beneficial to the welfare of our nation’s youth after all.
In the article that Ms. Reiss and Chelsea Clinton co-wrote, they stated, “Though the United States has committed to eliminating early and forced marriage by 2030, there is no federal law prohibiting child marriage and marriage before the age of 18 remains legal in 48 U.S. states.” In contrary to what they stated therein, it is not really our Federal government that has committed to eliminating early and forced marriage by 2030 but rather it is the United Nations that have committed to doing so. However, I would not be one to trust the United Nations with any matters involving our nation’s youth, and it really infuriates me whenever any of these femi-Nazi extremists like Ms. Reiss and others like her latch onto anything that the United Nations says or reports. The United Nations does not control our Federal government nor should we as Americans allow for it to do so. I vaguely recall reading some kind of report from the United Nations so many years ago in which they had spoken about their intentions to end marriage before the age of eighteen throughout the world, and they had taken an interest in an incident from the late 1990s in which a 29-year-old Maryland man named Wayne Compton had married a 13-year-old girl named Tina Akers. I believe that it was UNICEF, a subdivision of the United Nations, that had published that report, but don’t hold me to it. I will be providing more details about that incident in a future article I plan on publishing here on the Hive writing platform regarding Maryland’s response to this crusade to end underage marriage. In any event, the United Nations needs to clean up its own doorstep before it goes telling adolescent girls younger than 18 years old in our nation that they cannot get married on their own volition. For years, the United Nations has turned a blind eye to an ongoing problem in which the United Nations peacekeepers have forcibly raped underage youngsters all over the world. Therefore, they have no real moral high ground to go accusing American parents of violating their teenagers’ human rights upon giving consent for them to get married before the age of eighteen.
In their co-written article, Ms. Reiss and Chelsea Clinton took statements from state legislators out of context who have opposed these women’s efforts to ban marriage before the age of eighteen throughout our nation. I clicked into the actual articles that reported the statements that New Jersey State Senator Gerald Cardinale and Delaware State Representative Tim Dukes made, and their respective statements were fairly different from the way Ms. Reiss and Chelsea Clinton described them in their co-written article. For example, Mr. Cardinale did not say that a bill banning all marriage before the age of eighteen would cause a “negative impact on 16-year-old girls who feel ‘genuine affection’ for 50-year-old men” but rather he was describing a specific situation that had involved a man and a girl of those described ages. Anyhow, it really angers me whenever Ms. Reiss or any of her femi-Nazi colleagues go looking for situations of forbidden love involving a couple as far apart in age difference as they can find in the form of decades, because these situations are very scarce as compared with ones involving couples in which the girl may be in her early-to-mid teens and the boyfriend may be in his late teens or early twenties. Nevertheless, because these women continue to bring up these eyebrow-raising examples, so to speak, I am going to do them the honor of responding to their examples with refutations that their arguments about them so deserve.
In 1853, Abraham C. Myers at age 42 married a 15-year-old girl named Marion Twiggs, who was the daughter of General David E. Twiggs. The city of Fort Myers in the state of Florida was named after Abraham C. Myers in honor of this same marriage. Okay. I realize that this wedding happened well over a century ago, and some of you reading my article here probably believe that it doesn’t make a very good example in support of my points herein simply for that reason. Therefore, allow me to give some further examples to this effect from more recent times.
In the 1940s, actress Abbe Lane got married at the age of 15 to a man in his fifties, and she did so inasmuch as she needed for this man to be able to take her across state lines legally for show-business purposes. This marriage may not have been one made in heaven, but, according to her interview with Maury Povich in the 1990s on his talk show Maury, it was nothing like an ongoing episode of the Showtime series Californication as some people may misinterpret. In some of my previous articles here on this writing platform, I described a scenario in Alabama from the early 1980s in which a 14-year-old girl married a 43-year-old man and twenty years later they were still happily married and had four kids.
When I was living in Los Angeles back in the 1990s, I came across this one edition of The Montel Williams Show on television. At the time, his talk show was being televised and filmed from Hollywood. He had invited couples on his talk show that represented May-September marriages. One of his guests was a 44-year-old woman who had married a 14-year-old boy. Now, I’m not going to deny that I’m a product of this judgmental culture that we live in known as the United States of America; and before this 44-year-old woman came out in front of the camera, I was expecting anything. I even wondered if she was going to come out before the camera, looking like Cyndi Lauper and jumping around like a goofball. However, she turned out to be the most normal-looking and level-headed person one could ever encounter. She sat there with her 14-year-old husband before an audience and articulated how she and her husband had met and fallen in love with each other. As the 14-year-old boy spoke, it was plain to see that he was in the marriage willingly and happily. He was not a victim of sexual exploitation or human trafficking despite what Fraidy Reiss or Chelsea Clinton may have to say about this same marriage.
If you want an example from the twenty-first century in support of my points, here it is. In Ohio, there was a 48-year-old man named Richard E. Siders who married a 14-year-old girl named Tessi Wright back in 2002. The parents consented to the marriage right after they had found out that the young girl was pregnant with the 48-year-old man’s baby. According to a recent online article, the girl was now a woman going into her thirties, and she had still been happily married to this same man and had a family with him. She had no regrets about the marriage. Someone had mentioned in the comments section of that article that he or she believed that the woman possibly suffered from Stockholm Syndrome. I can appreciate that person’s argument; but until an actual mental-health professional were to diagnose her with that ailment, I say that we should continue to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she does not suffer from anything of that nature and that she is in her marriage to her older husband willingly. Although American society may never endorse or accept such marriages, we have to recognize them as real marriages and as healthy relationships so long as everyone in them is not suffering from any kind of abuse or related problems. The article containing the information on this marriage has been recently deleted. However, there are other articles throughout the Internet that make reference to it in light of the controversy over whether underage marriage should continue to be legal throughout our nation. Now, I am not saying that any of us should encourage these kinds of relationships and marriages, but we as a society should at least acknowledge that they do exist and that many of them are not abusive or exploitative despite what femi-Nazi extremists may have to say about them.
7. Beware Of The Herd Of Sheep That Follows Fraidy Reiss And Chelsea Clinton
As I was reading through the comments section to the above-described article that Chelsea Clinton and Fraidy Reiss co-wrote, I felt as though I were entering into an echo chamber full of clueless individuals. I made my best effort to set some of these people straight regarding their misconceptions of what teenage marriage really is. However, the most responses I ever got from any of these people was a series of lame remarks from a stubborn and opinionated hothead named “Lisa” who has obviously been indoctrinated in the ways of femi-Nazi extremism, and she has, therefore, become someone who doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinions that do not mirror her own. She even admitted to that fact in her replies to me, and she never really offered any facts or any legitimate arguments to back up her opinion. I attempted to set her straight on what was and was not child marriage. Like most of her kind, she responded with hateful insults and profanity, and she engaged in what is known as selective hearing. That is, she only chose to read what she wanted to rather than my entire response to each of her replies. Obviously, she has lived a much more sheltered life than the average individual, and she, therefore, has never taken the opportunity to get to know anyone who got married prior to turning eighteen. Like so many of these femi-Nazi extremists, she is one of those people with whom nobody can have a healthy, intellectual debate, because every response of hers is a knee-jerk reaction rather than a well-educated reply. She is one of those imbeciles who always have to have the last word in every discussion and who believe that having the last word in a discussion somehow makes them a genius. Trying to reason with her was like trying to have an intelligent conversation with a flat-Earther. Femi-Nazi extremists like her also believe that they set the rules on what is right and what is wrong rather than society as a whole as she did in her replies. The hypocrisy of it all is that whenever their 14- or 15-year-old son gets a 13-year-old girl pregnant, these women are usually the first to go slut-shaming these young girls and encouraging their teenage sons to find inventive ways to belittle and bully them as well.
It greatly concerns me that the kind of propaganda that Fraidy Reiss and Chelsea Clinton put out there to the public regarding this same issue could easily brainwash many weak-minded individuals like Lisa. Lisa obviously believes that just because something may be taboo in a culture, it has to be evil and wrong. However, that is not so, and people like her constantly need to be enlightened if our nation has any hope of going in the right direction on this matter. One thing that I found really hilarious about this Lisa was that she put the word “Leader” near her name on her avatar. She is far from being any leader. She has more of the characteristics of a despot and a very close-minded one, I might add.
8. Fraidy Reiss’s Supporters Appear To Have A Dangerously Specious Manifesto For Their Agenda
It has become no secret to me and to anyone else who may be following these stories regarding Ms. Reiss’s crusade to end underage marriage that spin doctors and charlatans are hopping on the bandwagon with this movement inasmuch as successfully banning all marriage before the age of eighteen will drum up business for all of them in the mental-health profession. I’m not saying that all mental-health professionals are this way, but too many of them are so; and we should be on the lookout for this kind of professional misconduct in the mental-health profession. I came across an article titled “Time’s Up on Child Marriage in the U.S.” by Mellissa Withers. Alyssa Kyle co-wrote the article with her. However, it appears that Ms. Withers was the main author of this same article and that the contents of it express her viewpoints regarding the topic of underage marriage. Therefore, herein I will cite only her as the author of her article’s contents. Ms. Withers is described therein as an associate professor at the Institute on Inequalities in Global Health at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. She is also a Ph.D. and has an M.H.S. Even though her credentials are quite impressive, I cannot quite say the same about her ideologies regarding underage marriage.
In her article, Ms. Withers injected the same suspicious research information and the same outdated statistics that other proponents of her same crusade have incorporated in their propaganda. She made mention of Sherry Johnson’s story of her childhood tragedy, which I will be addressing in future articles now that I’ve come across more information about Ms. Johnson and have actually been able to locate pictures and video clips of her on the Internet, which were not easy to find in the past. What was so misleading about the contents of her article was that she claimed therein that most people here in our country were unaware that anyone could get married anywhere in our nation before the age of eighteen. However, she was being insincere therein, because stories about minors marrying as young as 13 years old were always surfacing on the multitude of television talk shows that existed back in the 1990s and the earlier part of the 21st century. Many of these adolescent girls who announced their wedding plans on these television talk shows were even engaged to marry men in their twenties and older. Montel Williams even praised a 28-year-old man on his television talk show after this same man proposed to his 15-year-old girlfriend. Sally Jessy Raphael also had a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl who were married to men in their twenties, on her television talk show back when it was still on the air. These scenarios were quite common on television talk shows back when they were popular. Therefore, when Ms. Withers stated in her article that “many people” don’t know that underage marriage still takes place in our nation today, specifically to whom was she referring? She could not have meant the public at large here in our nation, because most everybody I’ve known has watched television talk shows at one time or another back when they were still popular. In any event, that statement of hers was the least one to be concerned about.
What greatly disturbs me about Ms. Withers article is that therein she stated:
Child marriage should also be recognized as a form of human trafficking. The Trafficking Protocol of 2000, an international protocol joined by the United States in December of 2000, defines trafficking as “the recruitment… transfer… or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation.” This definition can be applied to child marriage because the child is being transferred from an adult (parent/guardian) to another adult (husband) and often ends up being mistreated and sexually abused. The protocol criminalizes trafficking acts, with no exceptions for religious traditions and practices. This includes whether the minor consented or not. Child marriage fits these parameters and should be criminalized. Our children deserve better. Child marriage must be prohibited by law in all states.
Now, if she was describing the marriage of a 5- or 6-year-old girl to an elderly man, then I have no problem with her school of thought. Of course, such a marriage would never take place here in our nation, even in state jurisdictions that have no age floor for someone to get married, because the English Common Law establishes an age floor automatically for states with no statutory age floor for marriage. That is, no girl can marry before 12 years of age and no boy can marry before 14 years of age under any circumstances in state jurisdictions that have no statutory age floor for matrimony. However, it is very clear that she was mainly referring to adolescent girls getting married before their eighteenth birthday, and what she is doing here is applying a cold mathematical equation to something that does not have a one-size-fits-all interpretation of it. Moreover, she is using abstract reasoning rather than practical reasoning to come up with this ridiculously misleading conclusion of hers. She injects speculation therein in that she assumes that every teenager who marries will most likely suffer mistreatment and sexual abuse, while a great number of such marriages do not fit that same horrific profile that she describes.
My great aunt got married at the age of 15 to a 24-year-old man; and every time she and I talked about it, she would tell me that she never regretted having done so for one minute. Her parents (my great-grandparents) never recruited her or “transferred” her to her husband for the purpose of exploitation. Her husband was a tenant at my great-grandparents’ residence, and she and her husband fell in love and got married with my great-grandparents’ permission. END OF STORY! Ms. Withers’s wording in her article is the kind of dangerous thinking that we Americans need to beware of from femi-Nazi extremists who really do not have our best interests at heart as a nation. Many women have the same story to tell as my late great-aunt, and criminalizing their marriages would not have benefited anyone involved.
For people like Ms. Withers to state that every teenage minor who gets married is a victim of human trafficking simply because one spouse may be noticeably older than the other is an outrageous falsehood. Did it ever occur to any of these femi-Nazi extremists that two people who just so happen to be on opposite sides of the legal age line can and do marry out of love? These femi-Nazi extremists are promoting hatred and bigotry by demonizing each and every teenage marriage into something that it is not. Chelsea Clinton and Fraidy Reiss have latched onto this same twisted logic that Ms. Withers holds. Well, here is something that I would like for all of these femi-Nazi extremists to chew on. Chelsea Clinton continued to be friends with the notorious madam of Little Saint James Island, Ghislaine Maxwell, well after the late Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and convicted. What Ms. Maxwell and the late Mr. Epstein did on Little Saint James Island was clearly human trafficking. They recruited girls as young as 13 years of age in order to trap them in a life of prostitution and sexual abuse. If Chelsea Clinton had any decency, she would have severed all ties with the late Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell; but she didn’t. Therefore, she was a silent collaborator in all of their heinous crimes. Hence, Chelsea Clinton has no moral high ground to go accusing men over 21 years of age who marry adolescent girls of engaging in human trafficking. She has no moral high ground to accuse teenage minor brides’ parents of human trafficking either. Chelsea Clinton is a blatant hypocrite, and she needs to be stopped.
Whenever I read the comments section of any article about the topic of underage marriage, a great number of femi-Nazi extremists tend to bring up the argument that adult men are marrying adolescent girls to find a legal way to commit “statutory rape.” This argument of theirs is invalid, because “statutory rape” is a criminal offense committed strictly outside the legal confines of marriage. It’s interesting how none of these femi-Nazi extremists ever seem to stigmatize deadbeat teenage fathers just because these boys are lucky enough to be on the same side of the legal age line as the underage girls whose lives they ruin once they get them pregnant. Some men’s rights activists view our nation’s statutory-age-of-consent laws as a form of misandry. These femi-Nazi extremists’ efforts to abolish underage adolescent marriage here in our nation doesn’t give me a much different viewpoint about these women’s crusade in that respect. In any event, it is wrong for any of these femi-Nazi extremists to blur the lines between “statutory rape” and forcible rape, because the offense of “statutory rape” is nothing more than a legal construct as opposed to the actual act of sexual brutality that forcible rape is. I have noticed this same pattern among these femi-Nazi extremists who are attempting to get laws passed here in our nation that would ban all marriage before the age of eighteen. We should always be suspicious of any information they set forth in any of their writings or speeches, because I have found inaccuracies in a great portion of their so-called research as I have described in my previous article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage.” I am not the only person who has noticed these inaccuracies of theirs.
9. Others Are Beginning To Challenge People Like Fraidy Reiss And Chelsea Clinton On Their Propaganda
I am not a big fan of The Religious Right here in our nation, and I have no use for religious fanatics. In fact, I am a strong believer in the principle of the separation of church and state. I disagree with evangelicals on a great number of issues. However, whenever a religious person has done their homework and research thoroughly, I must give that person credibility where such credibility is due. A blogger who goes by the username of Biblical Gender Roles provided research of his own in his article titled “Would Society Be Better If Girls Married as Soon as They Menstruated?” that debunked much of the so-called research that Ms. Withers cited in her above-described article regarding underage marriage. Now, I won’t overlook the fact that this blogger injected some of his own ideological beliefs in his article and that his article is strongly controversial as evidenced immediately by its title. I don’t agree with his belief that our nation should revert back into the patriarchy that it was back in the days when episodes of the television sitcom Father Knows Best were still being filmed, but I do admire the extra mile that he drove to do his research on the topic of underage marriage in that it countered and debunked any so-called research that Ms. Withers presented in her above-described article. This man received a great amount of hate on the Internet after publishing his article, but he had every right to express his point of view and to share his research with others online. In any event, if we as a society are to make the right decision in electing officials who determine whether these same laws get passed or voted down that femi-Nazi extremists like Fraidy Reiss and others like her present to legislatures throughout our nation, we have the right to know all the facts regarding this topic rather than only one side of the argument that Fraidy Reiss and others like her present.
Back in 2016 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia State Senator Jill Holtzman Vogel pushed through a law in her state that banned anyone below 16 years of age from getting married under any circumstances and that required any 16- or 17-year-old minor to get legally emancipated in order to get married. She prided herself for her efforts to end “child marriage” in her state, but many voters in her state disapproved of her actions. However, after she began campaigning to run for lieutenant governor in her state, she went so far as to voice the fact that she had pushed this agenda previously. It subsequently cost her that same election in 2017, because voters in her state simply didn’t want her in that kind of position of power over them. She is now running for reelection as a Virginia state senator in her district, and this time she is not running unopposed as she was able to do on previous occasions. Let’s hope that she loses this election in November of 2019. It would serve her right if she were to be voted out of office altogether and banned from ever practicing politics again. “Biblical Gender Roles” has published another article on the Internet titled “Was Roy Moore violating Biblical commands in dating teenage girls?”, and therein he made it no secret that he has a low opinion of Fraidy Reiss. I presume that he probably does not think any more highly of Chelsea Clinton either.
10. Conclusion To This Topic
Ghislaine Maxwell was a notorious madam in the sex trafficking operation that the late Jeffrey Epstein ran on Little Saint James Island. This same sex trafficking operation extended to Florida and New York as well. Chelsea Clinton remained friends with Ghislaine Maxwell after the late Mr. Epstein’s arrest, even though she was well aware of Ms. Maxwell’s crimes alongside the late Mr. Epstein in that news stories about his arrest and conviction were all over the press and the media from 2006 and beyond. Chelsea Clinton’s parents, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, also continued to remain close friends with the late Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell even attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, and Bill Clinton flew frequently on Mr. Epstein’s private jet known as the Lolita Express. Therefore, Chelsea Clinton has no moral high ground to crusade for the passage of laws against underage adolescent marriage here in our nation, and she has no moral high ground to denounce such marriages as human trafficking or the likes inasmuch as she was a silent collaborator to such crimes herself.
Fraidy Reiss is Jewish American, and she has lived most of her life in the tri-state area. Therefore, it is likely that she was well aware of all the events relating to the late Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex crimes against young girls as the late Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are also Jewish. She also had to have been aware that Chelsea Clinton continued to be friends with Ms. Maxwell after she learned that Ms. Maxwell acted as a madam to the late Mr. Epstein’s criminal activities involving the sexual exploitation of adolescent girls as young as 13 years of age. Nevertheless, Ms. Reiss brought Chelsea Clinton on board with her crusade to get underage marriage outlawed in our country in hopes that nobody would find out the truth about her. As I have stated in previous articles of mine, we Americans should, therefore, place no stock in anything that Ms. Reiss states regarding underage marriage. By the same token, we should completely discount anything that Chelsea Clinton states regarding this same topic. We should oppose these femi-Nazi extremists’ efforts to change our marriage laws throughout our country as they will do more harm than good in the long run. We should also unite against them and seek to repeal the outrageous marriage laws that they have succeeded in shoving down our throats.
