He’s right that we shouldn’t infantilise teenagers by calling them ‘children’, lumping them in with prepubescent children as if there’s no difference between them.
As much as people fucking hate when this line gets rolled out and for good reason.
There’s a reason chronophilia is a term. Infantophilia, pedophilia, hebephilia, ephebophilia, teleiopholia, mesophilia and gerontophilia. Are all different things.
Actually properly respecting, and using correct terminology can and should be a thing as it prevents unreasonable harm in instances where things are perfectly fine.
For example a 18 year old ephebophile. That’s fucking normal, even tho in the eyes of the law it’s punished as a sex crime. A 18 year old and a 17 year old with a 6 month gap gets fucked because we don’t actually take into account logic when it comes to this topic.
So that 18 year old is now a “pedophile” a term with horrid implications and life defining punishments legally and socially just because we all refuse to actually educate ourselves of the terminology and actual research on the topic.
Because the word pedo has such a huge social negative (for good reason) that we basically just all collectively go stupid as fuck and go straight to the worse punishment we can with out ever considering logic.
It also makes further research into the topic absurdly hard to do and secure funding for. Because of the massive social problems with attaching your name to such research.
Cause even researching it can result in you being attacked. There’s been a number of instances iv seen where research on the topic dead ends because no one is willing to actually attach their name to the subject. Or when something gets published it gets dragged through the mud because it’s a easy headline.
So we never actually find healthy and effective methods to deal with the problem. We just attack, mislabel, don’t think and cause more harm by not actually trying to deal with it. Because the problem is “icky”.
But Linux is just kennel we need to look at all the gnu components that make Linux a complete os… Wait maybe not https://drewdevault.com/2023/11/25/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html

Something that the society achieved in the last 150 years are two dogmas:
I’m kinda glad that questioning these puts one into a category of weirdos.
I question this, it’s way too much labor with not enough compensation.
You’ve got the idea right
5/7 is an entitlement in the vast world
Just as the fact that sex with underage is considered a rape.
thank you. very important to share here.
