Guest blog: Neo-Coverture, Minor Edition

[BLueRibbon]

Regular reader Shotacon writes in with a piece on how minors have been subjugated much like women of prior generations. This is a long one, but well worth the read.

I'd love to send this to EVERY SINGLE anti I come across saying all their doing is protecting children and having overprotective instincts...with your permission to do so, of course.

Spread far and wide, although I do need to point out that I am not the author of this piece.

I know but it is your blog.

Another good post and an interesting subject.
I can see this article being approachable from outside map circles since it isn't focused on minor attraction, it doesn't even mention maps except right at the end.

If that sentence was removed then as an article it would be entirely about the rights or minors and the harms they face today, subjects people like to discuss and even sex is presented in a very approachable way. Parenting is a hot topic today, people often talk about how kids today are soft, they're pampered and weak, there are always memes and posts about it. The question of why never really comes up, it's just constant attacks on how weak kids are.

An article like this comes at that from a different angle, starting with the "why?". That's important because most people know the symptoms, few people stop to consider the cause. This post presents the cause and even goes to the area of sex but in an approachable way. It isn't about maps, it is about youth rights and agency.

I would like to see this post tweaked to remove mention of maps at the end and presented in a more neutral place, not a map blog because that immediately makes people suspicious of the motives behind the post. I'd recommend removing it from this blog and presenting it in a neutral blog, even a parenting blog and have neutral people including parents link to it. I know some people who would. That's how posts get picked up, form debate and discussion, some people attack it through memes, others back it, but even attacking memes raise awareness. I would like to see this and similar articles presented somewhere more neutral.

Makes sense. Toxic parents are poisoning youth with this mindset that safe is better when all it does is (and I'm sure in some cases it's the motivation) keeps them unwilling to speak up against their mistreatment or mistreatment of others because they've become "too soft". My anti "mother" does this a lot. Keeps me all nice and safe but if i do one thing to cross her it's always my fault. This is the kind of parenting many kids are brought up with, or parents were never given proper parenting classes, which is why i think it should be mandatory, not elective.

Lots of people in younger generations don't want to raise kids, especially the telio ones. Maybe a class on respecting people from different age groups would better serve everyone, if we had enough societal momentum to do something like that - you could also include not stigmatizing elderly people for having interests that are considered childish or only for teens & people in college. It'd certainly help also to get rid of the ageist idea of respect meaning deference or obedience to the authority of people older than you by reframing 'respecting your elders' to mean giving them the same respect you do your peers and youngers.

It reminds me of the horror series NOS4A2. In that series there is this character who's obsessed with protecting kids, taking them away to a place where they will never have to deal with grown-ups. He determines everything to be harmful, from a kids parents having sex which is a terrible thing to have to hear to a parent denying their kid candy. He has a henchman who helps, sold on the story that kids need protecting from everything, they're doing good work taking them away to a place where they never have to deal with adults. Along the way he steals their souls and turns them into monsters. He of course is a kind of demonic guy who genuinely thinks he's saving them by taking then away from adults.

But I remember when I watched that series, he reminded me of society today. His obsession with protecting kids, the way he sees everything as terrible and believes kids are unable to deal with anything, that brain washing them to fear and hate adults who genuinely care for them is a good thing, how he is able to convince others of the same thing. Kids end up missing out on so much as a result, just so this one demonic guy can protect them. Society does that today and like him, it genuinely can't see the harm being done.
