The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

1st example:
Me:‘I wonder why women evolved to be *so* upset about being raped?’
Guy: ‘I can’t believe you just said that – rape is HORRIBLE!!!’
2nd example:
Me:'Why do people tell jokes?'
Guy:'Cause they're funny! DUH!'
Reactions from other people in this thread are proving your point. People are stupid.

Wondering how and when X became widely reprehensible does not equal advocating X.
Saying that you understand why person A did thing Y does not equal saying that you think person A did the right thing when he did Y.
Person B carrying over a message to person C and telling C that event Z has happened does not equal B advocating event Z.
All similar fallacies, all often encountered and perfectly human. But you would presume that adults had grown out of them already.
