What are some movies or shows where children are treated lovingly and thoughtfully, their autonomy is respected, and they thrive as a result? Like properly anti-childist media that would make John Holt himself sit up and take notice?

No, We Won't Calm Down – Tone Policing Is Just Another Way to Protect Privilege - Everyday Feminism

“Calm down so we can discuss this like adults.” Ever said something like this in a conversation on oppression? Tone policing is no way to get justice, and this comic will help you understand exactly why.

Everyday Feminism

adult supremacy

#AdultSupremacy

If you show the value of a victim, you feel empathy. This increases the desire for equality but you feel bad: it endangers your health.

On the contrary, iIf you stress the mistake of a victim, you protect yourself: you feel like it should not happen to you. Society supports such detachment if the perpetrator is a white man or a police(wo)man.
Blaming the victim justifies inequality, discriminations, violence by the strongest. It normalizes (adult, white, male or cis) privileges. Therefore it normalizes patriarchy and white supremacy.

"It's the wolf dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother."
"To resist that [ascendancy], i would have needed an army of adults."

I was considered "someone whom it's normal to abuse again."
"I feel a bit to blame [...] that it had consequences for women other than me."

I know the "reasonable and realistic" thing we do is let the sociopaths guide our way into the future but it's the youngest who'll deal with the worst consequences of all these bad choices.

Maybe listen to the kids.
Fun fact: They mostly agree with scientists.

Children’s voices must be heard on climate crisis, says UN rights body

The Committee on the Rights of the Child urges governments to respond to young people’s concerns about environmental threats

Once again requesting people don't refer to mean spirited assholes or bullies like Musk or Trump as "babies" or "children".

Children (and babies) are generally awesome, curious, caring and sensitive beings. Most importantly: they are learning.

They notice when we use words that refer to them as insults or with derision. They wonder what is wrong with being a child.

There is NOTHING wrong with being a child.

Please do not perpetuate #Ageism or #AdultSupremacy with careless language.

Thank u!

Transitioning leadership practices aim to give it back.

We need to confront the former in many ways. The latter offers us one strategy.

I believe strongly that young people ought to have a say in decisions and policies that impact their lives. Our societal and psychological commitment to adult supremacy often blocks that opportunity.

My work is dedicated to working through those challenges to transition leadership of groups that serve youth into the hands of young people themselves.

➡️ I call this work Transitioning Leadership and recently posted an example of how I did this in a college class. Key: tools to gain orientation to the agenda setting / decision-making context and mentored practice.

🔗 I wrote about it and also link to the full curriculum of a course where I practiced it.

Transitioning leadership as outcome and pedagogy

In fall 2020, I re-designed the course I was teaching to take place entirely online. I wrote, in detail, about the course in a series of blog posts (part 1, part 2, the assignments, the main projec…
