Why I find Romeo and Juliet laws/close in age exceptions harmful and discriminatory towards MAPs and AAMs

Hi I don’t know about many of you, but I find Romeo and Juliet laws (close in age exception) to be dehumanising, discriminatory and have negative impacts on MAP’s, youth Lib and AAM’s for these reasons.

1. It implies that sexual/romantic relationships between teenagers and adults/people much older ...

Are there any MAP forums that support Pro-C MAPs

Hi,
I wanted to know if there are any forums/Map groups that are inclusive to Pro-Contact MAPs. Because I feel a lot of MAP group/Forums only support Anti Contact MAPs and it like you have to pretend to be something your not or these MAP groups will be just as hostile or react negative or judge you ...

Re: The Chilling Effect: How Age of Consent Laws Silence Youth, Obscure Abuse, and Make Everyone Less Safe




[*]Special protections for 12–15-year-olds
Sexual contact involving someone in this age group would still be subject to prosecution—but only upon complaint, and only if the older partner deceptively exploited the younger person’s lack of knowledge, interest, or emotional capacity.


What if ...

Re: Some people may believe MAPs should avoid being around kids/teenagers but what if we disagree or think differently


The problem is, whether there's contact or not, the expectation is that adults aren't supposed to interact in any way with kids not their own, unless they're in a job where it's required. In western society it's considered inappropriate for you to say a friendly hello to an unrelated child as you ...

Re: Doing a petition to de-stigmatise MAPs on change.org apparently violates community guidelines



B4U-ACT would not use the language "Destigmatize MAPs".

The title of your petition mirrored the language used to criticise MAP initiatives and draw the lines against violating community standards, literally the "glorification of pedophilia" as an "identity".
