I am Sunni. Anon, I just want to let you know, I fully understand that people get super uncomfortable about Aisha's age and all in our modern age, but dude, for real, you don't need to go this far in maligning her character.

The standards of that time and location were absolutely different, and that's OK. We've developed a better understanding of the human mind today which we did not have back then.
Arabia was a literal lawless tribal wasteland and life was hard. Girls had their first period super early, in fact, some Greek traveller reported that he saw 21 Year old Grandmothers in Yemen.

I know growing up, we're super hardwired and taught to revere the prophet and that everything he did was pure. Reading extremely intimate stories from his personal life must be very uncomfortable and sometimes shatters that reverence, but you need to understand that he was a man too, just like you and I.
I actually believe you when you say you wrote this out of love for the prophet, but you need to learn to love the human part of him as well. I think that's what he would have wanted from his followers.

Islam doesn't condone it, otherwise you'd hear about it being noble to engage in. It's just something that was allowed and now is outlawed, which we as an Ummah did alongside many other countries in the Western World. I'm not going to downplay Slavery being a horrible thing.
