False: We shouldn't use our contemporary standards to judge these practices. https://twitter.com/lizzie_wade/status/1010178681334050822 …
I interpret as a hierarchical system (a ladder, yes) but not a kind of moral ladder. Just that certain types of ethical reasoning are associated with each stage.
