Marriage on its own is a problematic concept. The problems with child and essentially teen marriage are the tip of the iceberg.

It is the case where thousands of people past the common age are still being abused. And even within countries where the children’s rights have been ratified, those individuals are yet again prone to abuse when they reach the arbitrary number which is the common age.

That’s because only the rich are allowed to innovate, and even if their innovation fails spectacularly, they have enough power to blindfold the public essentially making it appear as a success (e.g: AI).

child driver’s license Well, teenager, but that’s still a child

Not to be pedantic, but make up your mind here. A child is physically unable to drive nor do anything that requires complex thought. A teenager is not a child, both by definition and by physical aspect. This is essentially ageism, by infantilizing teenagers, including your past self. Especially, since you’re correlating adulthood to that particular time period later on.

I agree, we shouldn’t be painting false pictures like this. The hard truth is that being an adult is objectively better, no matter what experiences you had during childhood or teenhood.

The thing is, romanticizing lack of rights is what truly is the problem here, this isn’t focused on the age - but the lack of control. Its usually this aspect which is included in these “childhood romanticism” posts. Age relation is just the consequence for this lack of rights.

Ultimately, autonomy should exist for all people - no matter the age. This is particularly important for teenagers which seem to be constantly ignored within society. Failing to understand this is what will lead to another “Australia style” blanket ban.

The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.

That could possibly be it as well. It really depends in what tone you read the passage in and how it is interpreted. I do agree on the faulty ai; it doesnt matter how young or “innocent” you are, if they want to mess your life up, they will.

don’t think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.

Agreed, that’s why I find it weird to be bragging about the age. It could be insulting for the person, and specifically their intelligence.

What does the age have something to do with this? Its a genuine shower thought, nothing related to age.

It’s such a common occurrence on the internet

Let’s not project the blame on the internet. The problem is everywhere, the rampant misogyny is out of control within all dimensions. The system is designed to indoctrinate and churn out misoginy just like racism and ageism is.

I do appreciate that you are refering to “most” guys rather than being age specific; also the rampant rise in mysoginy isn’t their fault. It is helpful to look at the big picture, to realise that men and women of all ages are forcefully fed propaganda used to further divide us all.

Such laws have no sense when you actually think about it. Such illogical reasonings exist within all law sectors, it is an expertly crafted story made to indoctrinate. Drugs may be an example, but laws which silently encourage mysoginy, racism and ageism also exist, and must be brought to light.
