Since the beginning of time, girls of age 12, 13 are married off as a norm, in all cultures. In modern times, moralists developed a sense of righteousness, by having a say on what things should be, regardless how things really are or should be for the goodness of all. These moralists, from professional ones to innocent average WASPs, can make issues coming out advantageous to themselves by simply adhering to chantible concepts of goodness. Like, “Kill Evil Men”. By adherence to such concepts, one automatically gains the aura of unassailable sainthood. By ways of such inherent reflex, one beget a society with cries of moralities. One of which is “Protect Children”. One can far care less what really happens to children. It is a question too remote and elusive to be of concern. The chanting of it, is imperative for one's well-being, with instant comfort and mass approval.

Some interesting wikipedia readings.
What is the basis of being cute? See: Cuteness↗. Quote:
«Cuteness is a particular kind of beauty linked to youth. This is usually characterized by (though not limited to) some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately big head, large eyes, a small nose, dimples, round and softer body features.[citation needed] Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity, innocence, affectionate behaviour and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute.»
The relation of sexual attractiveness and child-like, see: Pedomorphosis↗. Quote:
«In developmental biology, pedomorphosis or juvenification is a phenotypic and/or genotypic change in which the adults of a species retain traits previously seen only in juveniles.»
«Pedomorphosis is common in many animal species domesticated by humans, including dogs, chickens, pigs and cattle. It is believed to be a side-effect of the selective pressure of human-directed breeding for juvenile behavioral characteristics such as docility.»
Neoteny↗, quote:
«Neoteny is the retention, by adults in a species, of traits previously seen only in juveniles (pedomorphosis), and is a subject studied in the field of developmental biology. In neoteny, the physiological (or somatic) development of an animal or organism is slowed or delayed. Ultimately this process results in the retention, in the adults of a species, of juvenile physical characteristics well into maturity.»
«... While neoteny is not necessarily a physical state experienced by humans, paedomorphic characteristics in women are widely acknowledged as desirable by men (see Sexual attraction). For instance, vellus hair is a juvenile characteristic. However, while men develop longer, coarser, thicker, and darker terminal hair through sexual differentiation, females, on the other hand, retain the vellus hair. »
The onset of menstruation has decreased in the last decade, see: Menarche↗. Quote:
«Most sources agree that average age of menarche in girls in modern societies has declined, though the reasons and the degree remain subjects of controversy. There have been claims of a 2 to 2.5 year decline from about 1900 to the 1960s, but the best North American surveys reported only a 2-3 month decline from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s.»
Something of note from the articles:
• How human animals have bred other animals to the degree that their genetics have changed such that they retain juvenile characteristics. (look up for articles on breeding or pedigree, you'll note that the genetic manipulation of animals for human play have advanced quite far, with a entire society and culture, with a system of terminologies and studies) (See for example: Selective breeding↗ )
• How male human animals have a preferences towards female human animals who retains some characteristics of immaturity. (e.g. we note, how women pose of biting nails, lips, or inward feet posture, silly-looking, or otherwise dumb and big-eyed. (blondes))
• Also of interest: Ephebophilia↗.

«12. Those who are most sensitive about “politically incorrect” terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any “oppressed” group but come from privileged strata of society. Political correctness has its stronghold among university professors, who have secure employment with comfortable salaries, and the majority of whom are heterosexual, white males from middle-class families.»
From Section 3 of Industrial Society and its Future, by Theodore Kaczynski.
This is a WASP intelligencia syndrome.
One might wonder whether such American bleedingheartism does any good at all? Perhaps at least they do SOME good? In my cheerless view, bleedingheartism or justice obsession are a manifestation of aggression in our post-industrial world of industrialized nations, and its overall effect is creating misery and oppression to the very people the bleedingheart fuckfaces are sympathetic of.
The way it works is by creating a “moral” view that have little to do with reality or what's true. Put simply, aggressors need reasons to justify their behavior, and thus was born morality, in guises of various creeds and gospels thru different times and situations in history.
Apart from justice obsession the WASP way, a major, nutured motivation of American bleedingheartism is of a psychological need. This aspect is well exposed from Theodore Kaczynski's thesis, in which he calls “The Power Process”. See http://xahlee.org/p/um/um-s05.html.
