TikTok anti-MAP

1. I agree with you that intermediate steps would be required. I’m not seriously suggesting it would be achievable to remove all laws and restrictions right this moment with no other inbetween considerations. It would have to be staggered and carried out through stages of acceptance/decriminalisation of course. I do think big steps over small ones need to be taken though. I think larger strides in this case are more likely to be successful in the end. Overall though I was only agreeing that this should be the end goal; at least for the pro-contact MAP. I’m certainly not suggesting I would know or be able to immediately describe every step required to get there.

2. Well I do? Though I’m certainly only giving my opinion as I see fit on it. I’m not speaking as an academic or citing for a paper; only talking from personal experience and my own thoughts. Yes, they might be. They also might not be. I tend to believe that, in spite of assumed social power imbalances across societies, in general most people do want to do more good than bad. So would assert oppositely that it seems to me much more likely to be the case that abuse is the minority percentage for reasons that a little girl is sexually active. I’m certainly not ruling it out or suggesting it doesn’t happen. But I personally make a distinction between AMSR and CSA because they often get lumped together for the purposes of more easily straw-manning supporters of AMSC/AMSR. When I talk about AMSC or sexually interested/active preteen girls, I am necessarily separating that from CSA which is different and non-consenting. For me, an AMSR is consenting and both parties are happy and willing. Sex is about as natural an element of life as it gets, so would disagree with suggestions that no little girl who is sexually aware or active with older men is doing so simply from it being a normal natural instinct and that she enjoys it. I think it’s completely normal for preteens to think about and want sex and have sex. Of course not all of them are AAMs so are experimenting amongst their age groups. But of the many that are also AAMs, I don’t believe that those who are sexually active are generally all having sexual contact with adults because of being forced or abused or an adult having power over them (some people also might be happy to believe that because it helps imply all AMSC is abusive which I would strongly disagree). I’d consider that a separate thing/issue as above.
