In a panel discussion of Alabama voters discussing GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, one man contended that their state was a “different world” when the former judge’s accusers claimed he dated them when they were teens and he in his 30’s.

“Forty years ago in Alabama, it was a different world,” one man said in a documentary by Vice News Tonight, claiming his grandmother was married at 13 and had children and a job by age 15.

“If Roy Moore was guilty,” he continued, “forty years ago in Alabama, there’s a lot of mamas and daddies that’d be thrilled that their 14-year-old was getting hit on by a district attorney.”

40 years ago, I was 17 years old in New York.

No parent thought it was ok. I grew up in Westchester county, all variety of humans.

Still nope. Now broke people, who want to use their daughter has a broodmare, to claim some funds to get that outside porch was not a Northern thing.

I was 14 years old in 1977 in a small town in Texas and it would not have been acceptable for a man in his 30s to hit on me or any of my classmates. I'm not saying it never happened, and maybe Alabama was more backwards than the town I grew up in, but it was NOT a societal norm of the time.
