It comes as no surprise that the seeds of the ongoing revelations concerning the discovery and apprehension of underage sex networks were planted a long time ago within our popular culture. The sexualization of preteens and teens can be seen in offerings of toys, inappropriate age apparel, Disney programming and popular music for decades. Corporations have long recognized the power of marketing and have been actively pursuing teen discretionary spending for many years.
Our choices of music are particularly powerful in influencing our appetites.
Some examples below:
1965 – The Loving Spoonful
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
And should I hang around, acting like her brother
In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
And why?
If I wait I'll just die, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
And this...
1974 – Gary Puckett & the Union Gap
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes
So our society reaps the whirlwind.
Thank God for providing us a POTUS that recognizes and combats these satanic influences on our children.

Wrong.
Age of consent was generally younger. My grandmother got married at 16.

My grandmother's sister got married at 15 in 1945. (admittedly very young)
She raised four children and stayed married until her husbands death in ~2000.

Same.

About what?
18 is the current age of consent where parental consent is no longer needed.
How old are you? Is your grandmother a boomer or pre-war kid? That would factor highly into whether her father had to consent to her marriage at 16.
What point are you trying to make with your post? Where is consent to marriage even mentioned in OP's post? He clearly points to "pre-teens & teens" which is not what you say when you're talking about girls of "16". In the hippy scene 16 was basically considered an old hag. And "younger girls" they were singing about were not for marriage anyway, but for fucking. That's clearly what all that shit was about. (FFS "The Loving Spoonful" is a euphemism for ejaculate - "love" in hippy parlance = fucking, not romantic love)
You're on drugs if you think there hasn't been aggressive sexualisation of preteens and teens since the 60s, leading into the same with children.

So what? My FIL's cousin married his wife when she was 14 just after WW II- in Italy. They remained married for 60 years til his death. Marriage is not what the post was about so don't throw apples at this when we're talking avocados.

"You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and your mine." -Cat Stevens (I think.) circa 1976

That's not Cat Stevens. It's Ringo Starr.

Anime and manga culture is a breeding ground of transgenderism and grooming of young people; they snag 'em with fun cartoons, and incrementally draw them in to perversions. I've seen it first hand.

Yikes. I remember those songs, never paid much attention to the lyrics of RnR or Pop music, starting paying closer attention though when i discovered Q...neither have been my favorites.

Check out Richie from Boston's latest video. He shows an old video about Talmudic Jews and how it says girls as young as three can be used for sex. Also, Robert Sepuler (Spelling wrong). He has a video about how the Romans celebrated Saturn with a sex festival and children joined in with the adults.
