Re: Things that inspire you

I'm inspired by the stories I read in map forums about the trials and tribulations faced by maps in every day life.

Also poetry, books, music and movies about different groups throughout history who have been persecuted by societies at one time or another. It always exists and the same stories ...

Re: Grooming


If two identical actions with identical outcomes with identical motivations can be interpreted differently based on society's perception of the person doing them, that's a clear a sign as any of deep rooted irrational prejudice. Society's normative views on grooming are contradictory and ...

Re: How Do We Find Our People?

It'll be interesting to see how it goes, how many people respond.

Will anyone respond? Will a few or many? There will be many in your local population but how many reach out and what kind of messaging would work better? What message would encourage people to reach out? Why would they reach out ...

Re: why is everything considered pedophilia nowadays??

It is dumb.

There's a girl I know who's 17 and has a boyfriend 16 and she's joked how when she turns 18 she could adopt him. Teenagers find the whole situation as dumb as well. Many teenagers have sex below the age of consent and date people above and below, the law is seen as an ass and largely ...

Re: The History of the Age of Consent: Cynicism, Feminism, and the Politics of Control (AI)

Good luck with it, hopefully it gets some traction. No matter what it's a great learning experience, it will provide real value. Any feedback or analytics would be really useful.

Re: Views on the morality of child sex work (e.g. prostitution, pornography)

In an ideal work there would be no prostitution, pornography, hunger or greed. People would be sexually fulfilled with a loved one, people would have sufficient money and comfort to not be in need of anything. Pornography wouldn't be a thing because people were so sexually fulfilled in life that a ...

Re: Video Essay: the 5 Greatest Misconceptions about Childhood Sexuality

I watched all five videos and they're very well done.

They come across as not pushing some map agenda, in fact it barely mentions adults and correctly focusses on young people. They're factual, invite people to carry out there own investigations and are focused on child wellbeing. At the same time ...

Economics as a lever

The whole world is feeling economic pressure and is worrying about the future.

Tariffs, trade barriers, Brexit, the threat of war leading to increased defence spending even doubling or trebling for NATO members.
I was reading an economics review for the UK and it highlighted a lof of serious ...

Re: Should a new community form to split out from the LGBTQ+ community?


I think the most likely allies today (in terms of demographics) are non-MAPs who have been charged with sex offenses, given they are often in very similar situations to MAPs. Outside of that, in purely ideological terms, I'm sure you're aware my opinion is that advocates for civil libertarianism ...

Re: A foundational truth that can't be challenged



It's the non-negotiable aspect of this that concerns me and the assumption that ALL such activity is abuse of the worst kind and any state has a responsibility to stop it.

It is this assumption from which all this hysteria originates. As such I believe it is the assumption that is most vital ...
