Man Love Thursday
"Man Love Thursday" is a weekly recurring event between grown Afghan men and boys. Essentially, a group of grown men will take turns gang raping a young boys ass. At first, the boy will scream, struggle and holler in strong protest. Over time, they eventually just submit, bend over and literally take it up the ass. The local saying is "Women are for breeding, boys are for pleasure.". Why do they do this on Thursday? Because Friday is their holy day to worship Allah and ask for absolution/forgiveness for their "sins". Yet, they do it every week. If they're truly repentant, they'd never do it again, right!?
So every Thursday night, a group of pedophiles get together to rape boys in Afghanistan. Nobody does anything about it. They boys obviously get serious medical problems as a result, where bits of large intestine may hang out of their sphincter due to the frequent, rigorous, unlubricated rough anal sex they receive. It has become so widespread amongst Afghan culture that it's become a culturally accepted norm.
This strikes me strongly. Cultural relativism as a moral theory is completely wrong and misguided (Claim: Everything is wrong or right depending on what the general culture says is "wrong" or "right"). Obviously, cultural relativism fails to take into account the fully informed and willful consent of all individuals -- otherwise, we have to say that the gang rape of young boys by men is morally acceptable by the standards of the culturally relativistic moral theorist.
Complete and utter bullshit. Cultural relativism is dead in the water.
I believe that whatever objective moral theory is best, it has to strongly take into account the fully informed and willful consent of all individuals.
