Hi. I am Eternalist. I love gaming. I'm also a full time writer and have written many non-fiction books. Check out my latest essay below. _____________________________________________________________ Modern Day Sex-negative Feminism and The Fight for Freedom _____________________________________________________________ We are going through an extremely unhealthy puritanical sex-negative backlash from the sexual liberation movement that saw child sexuality being brought into mainstream discussion. If there was actually something inherently wrong and harmful with it, we would see reports of this sexual deviant all the way back in history, but we don’t. The first time we hear about the phenomenon of the pedophile is in Victorian England after childhood was rebranded as a time of “innocence” (ignorance) that should be uncorrupted. Sex was viewed as a corruption. Only after the invention of the innocent child do we ever hear about the pedophile as a sexual deviant out to corrupt said innocence. They can not exist independently. The innocent child cannot exist without something that threatens to corrupt said innocence, and vice versa. Before this happened, nobody ever felt the need to create a term for someone attracted to children as different from “normal” people. If we do away with the myth of childhood innocence, the pedophile will disappear. People love their myths, though. ___________________________________________________________ The Short Version ____________________________________________________________ We live in a society whose sexual norms and discourse are monopolized by sex-negative feminist victim ideology. A lot of people make a lot of money from the child sex abuse narrative. More victims = more money. That’s why the age of what is included in child sex abuse has been creeping upwards to the point where having consensual sex with a fully-developed 17-year-old is now considered CSA. The entire industry is corrupt AF. They prey upon people’s most primal fears for a profit. All you gotta do is tell people their children are in danger, but you have the solution and CHA-CHING!! The money comes flying in. In the 70s there was a very large child sexual liberation movement with large pedophile organizations as well as many academic elites campaigning for the age of consent to be abolished. They were picking up steam as they were getting coverage by the mainstream media and having serious public discussions about it. Public opinion was swinging in favor of freedom until the sex-negative feminists (a minority at the time) were bankrolled and platformed by wealthy conservatives who didn’t want to lose the ability to treat their children like their property. All this rhetoric about power dynamics, abuse, and informed consent was baseless unempirical sophistry that sounded like it made sense. Such is the nature of sophistry. It worked; the liberation movement essential got stopped dead in its tracks overnight once people started to realize how much money there was to be made by supporting the abuse narrative. AMERICA!! That is why ‘pedophilia’ is condemned. They lost the battle, and now an entire industry has sprung up revolving around this abuse ideology. They control the language and whoever controls the language controls the masses. ___________________________________________________________ The Long Version _____________________________________________________________ If you are attracted to females 11 and over (most likely 11-14), you are not a pedophile. That makes you a hebephile. Although most men are preferential teleiophiles (17ish+), it is normal and widespread for men to find females in this age range sexually attractive as well, although good luck getting anyone to admit that they think middle schoolers are kind of hot in today's world. Any guy who has seen a girl under 15 and thought she was hot is hebophilic and most likely up to 20% have. But most deny that she's hot if they find out she's under 18 which makes no sense. If they initally found her hot then why do they deny it? Any guy who criticizes another one for finding a 14 year old hot is a hypocrite if they would have initially found her hot as well. Some studies show that possibly up to 20% of men have a hebephilic preference. Our species was selected to evolve in this way, which explains why this relationship dynamic has never been considered an issue anywhere in the world for all of human history until like the end of the 1800's when the AoC was raised to an unnaturally high age amidst a panic-ridden populace in the throes of mass hysteria over a largely fictitious work of yellow journalism by W. T. Stead "exposing" an underground child prostitution ring right under everyone's noses in Victorian England. At least we have the consolation prize of knowing the guy who wrote that garbage went down with the Titanic. America suffered a similar panic over prostitution, but the raising of the AoC here was to prevent newly-freed black men from having sex with white chicks and tainting the purity of the white race. It was never raised because people saw hebephilic relationships immoral or "predatory" (it was actually the norm at the time). The age of consent had always either been 12 or lower (it was 10 at the time, actually) in every society through all time. Under any other circumstance, no one in their right mind would have ever agreed to this blatant violation of personal freedom. Being raped as a child has nothing to do with pedophilia, and most rapes are not even committed by pedophiles. Up until the late 70's, therapists recommended CP as an effective outlet, although it wouldn't matter very long because the sexual liberation movement was full steam ahead. All the research was showing kids were sexual beings and willing relationships were perfectly harmless. There were many outspoken activists and large activist organizations pushing for abolition of the AoC. The prevailing attitude of the day was that sex is a healthy and necessary part of growing up and everyone has the human right to erotic pleasure -- sex-positivity. They very nearly succeeded until a fringe group of radical sex-negative feminists started spewing out a whole bunch of baseless, unempirical, and unsupported nonsense about power dynamics and tried to co-opt the concept of informed consent, a medical term, bastardized it, and tried to apply it to sexual consent; as if having an orgasm is such an extreme life-risking endeavor akin to triple-bypass heart surgery. They also co-opted feminist rape rhetoric and applied the same terminology to willing intergenerational relationships, calling them invariably abusive, manipulative, and harmful without justification. No one paid any attention to those prudish sex-hating lunatics until very wealthy and influential far-right religious "my child is my property" conservatives realized that they had a common interest. All the sudden these feminists with their not only wacky, but harmful beliefs were given a platform, dissenting opinions were suppressed, and heaps of funding magically became available for anyone willing to produce "research" that contradicted all past research and supported this new abuse/victim narrative. Little did they know they struck a gold mine, and once the reformists caught wind of how much money there was to be made by switching sides, many of them jumped ship to follow the money. What can I say? We ARE Americans, after all. I gotta say, although this has led to countless lives being needlessly destroyed, it was a brilliant strategic move that caught everybody off-guard. The seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of sexual freedom was stopped dead in its tracks basically overnight. The actual reason why everyone hates "pedophiles" and that kids are harmed by such relationships today has nothing to do with the innate rightness or wrongness of it. The sad truth is that the CSA victim industry is extremely profitable and has now become institutionalized; it's essentially a religion these days. Many people's careers now revolve around this narrative and have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. They've even started pushing for the censorship of people who are catching on and speaking out against this toxic ideology. That is definitely not a tactic a true believer would ever feel the need to employ. But, it is also a sign that they feel threatened and fear losing their grip on power. ___________________________________________________________ The Modern Day Innocence Problem ___________________________________________________________ People often assert innocence and vulnerability. But being preferentially attracted to females at peak reproductive value (11-14) is not a disorder and implies none of those things any more than being preferentially attracted to females at peak fertility (late teens/earIy 20's) does. Teenagers are being called ‘children’ when they are adults. Throughout all of human history, childhood ended around 7–11, depending on the culture. No one ever called a 12–13 year old a child until modern history. During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the concept of an artificially extended childhood called adolescence was invented along with a forced schooling system designed to retard intellectual growth, maturity, and critical thinking ability. This was done by industrial titans to make a populace that is easy to influence and predict. We treat 12/13 year old people all the way up to even early 20’s as irresponsible children incapable of making their own decisions who are in need of constant “protection” as an excuse to rob them of their rights and take their voices away. In actuality, 12-year-olds are capable of some of the most extraordinary feats of human ingenuity and progress if given the means to do so. This was the way it was in early America and was attributed as the reason why Americans were the finest citizens on the planet. Just listen to one of the lectures about the history that is the horror story of the American school system by John Taylor Gatto, and you will know all you need to know. A quote from John Taylor Gatto, "12 & 13-year-old people are at the pinnacle of their intellect, imagination, analytical ability, and their resiliency, and to reserve those people from the general society for their turn to enter is as disgusting a crime against people as is possible to do." Many people I know have quite a different view on young people than the majority of the modern day society. They find them fascinating and never get bored talking to them. Adults are the ones who are intellectually disinteresting. Our school system is designed to dumb people down, hinder and snuff out intellectual growth and creativity, and inculcate conformity. Schooling turns people from individuals into a collective, and very few make it out the other side with the entire suite of cognitive abilities intact. Many 12-15 year olds have yet to succumb to this indoctrination and are far more intellectually stimulating than adults. Most people in our society seem to see young people as some form of lesser beings. I only see them as people; as equals. Relationships are beautiful and bring people happiness and joy. If 2 people make a connection, enjoy each other's company, and make each other happy, they don't need a justification for being together. People who would seek to keep them apart are the ones who need a justification. The whole "you have to be with someone your own age" nonsense is VERY new in human history and is only seriously predominant in America, the country with the most deviant sexual norms in human history. AIso the country with the 2nd (only to Ukraine, who is being invaded by Russia ATM) highest rate of depression in the world and the highest rates of unwanted pregnancy and STDs in the Western worId. No one can heIp who they feel attracted to; that spark, that butterflies-in-your-tummy feeling, who they feel happiest around. How do we account for Mexico having an Age of Consent of 12 or most of Europe being 14 without causing serious social probIems? Why are they more free than the citizens of the country that calls itself “the land of the free?” I'm not a fan of demonizing people because of arbitrary social norms. The Age of Consent in Mexico is 12, but since they are younger and have less experience, if they want to be with someone 18+, they can bring charges on the older party if they feel used/taken advantage of. They understand that willing relationships are not harmful and people deserve freedom in their personal lives. ___________________________________________________________ Pedophile - The Boogey Man That Doesn’t Exist ___________________________________________________________ The “sexual predator” is the modern day bogeyman. It’s smoke and mirrors. It does not exist. The reality is adult men will start talking to a teenager (also an adult, biologically), 95% of the time they are completely upfront and honest about who they are and how old they are. Deception is very rare. They get to know each other, the topic of sex inevitably gets brought up, and when they do meet in person it is with the crystal clear understanding of having mutually desired sex. A large majority of the teens continue to see them, talk to them, hook up with them, go on dates, and express feelings of love and closeness for their “predator.” I am unaware of a single case of any of these teens coming to any harm or trauma by this. Now, take a step back. If you don’t already start out with the presupposition that this is a bad thing, how could you possibly reach that conclusion logically, based off of the evidence? What part about any of that sounds like it could be classified as ‘predatory’ behavior? If I swapped out teenager for woman, people would invariably describe that as a good thing because it is literally the EXACT same process as 2 fully-grown people meeting on a dating site and hitting it off. Our society and especially our sexual norms are extremely fucked up and backwards. We are so obsessed with this imaginary predator BS or freaking out over another nonexistent problem of “sexualizing minors.” Meanwhile, more and more parents are finding their kids hanging from their ceiling fans each year because of the very real internet predators; their peers. Cyberbullying is an infinitely more pressing and important issue to deal with, but we don’t care about that because it’s not about sex, and sex is the root of all evil, after all. There’s no such thing as a pedophile. Certainly there are, and always have been people primarily attracted to pre-pubescents. What I mean when I say that there is no such thing as a pedophile, I mean it in the sense that there’s no such thing as a red-head-ophile or tall-person-ophile. Even though there are certainly people with those preferences, we do not feel the need to create a special term to single out these people out as different from “normal” people. The pedophile is an inevitable conclusion to the social construct of childhood innocence. There is no mention anywhere in the historical record of a ‘deviant’ kind of person who is primarily sexaully attracted to children until after the invention of our modern concept of childhood in Victorian England. Before this time, there was no such thing as childhood insofar as being a distinct phase of life wholly different than ‘adulthood.’ There were just people. This changed in the 1800’s when childhood was rebranded as a period of ‘innocence,’ “free” from the “corruption” of the real world that must be protected and defended at all costs. Sex was (erroneously) viewed as corrupt, so sexual activity with children became taboo and later illegal. (keep in mind that there was no empirical basis for any of this). It was only at this point did the pedophile emerge for the first time in history as the evil sexual deviant hell-bent on destroying and corrupting the purity and innocence that was now ascribed to children. What had previously been perfectly benign and harmless sexual behavior with children for thousands of years all around the world (no society ever took serious issue with it - if they had, they would have created a term to describe such a person who engages in such behavior), became the most evil thing one can possibly do. That is the history of it. The pedophile cannot exist without the innocent child. They are 2 sides of the same coin. The myth of childhood innocence is the most fundamental cause for all the harm and destruction caused by pedophilic interactions today. The only way to get rid of the pedophile (which everyone seems to want to do) is to simply do away with the harmful myth of childhood innocence. Unfortunately, everyone believes this to be universal human nature. So, acknowledging their sexuality is literally the exact opposite of what everyone wants to do. ___________________________________________________________ The Way Society Views Pedophilia Is The Issue ___________________________________________________________ Sexual activity is perfectly harmless (not abusive) if it is willing entered into and it is society’s reaction to this that is causing all the problems. Surely there are cases involving actual abuse and coercion, but this applies to anyone of any age. The main reason why many people hate pedophiles today is because it is very profitable and useful for those in charge. A fearful and hysterical populace is very easy to manipulate. If you spread enough propaganda about a minority and strip them of the ability to defend themselves (censorship), you can slip in increasingly authoritarian policies with minimal opposition. This is a very Machiavellian tactic, but it works. If the true goal was the well-being of children, empathy and compassion for pedophiles would be the correct attitude to endorse due to the law of reciprocity. If you treat someone with respect and dignity, they are more likely to behave in a respectable and dignified manner. Likewise, if you treat someone with unbridled, unconditional hatred, what duty would they feel to do as you command? Then again, emotional abuse is much more common, destructive, and harmful in the long-term than both sex abuse and physical abuse combined, so if the REAL overall goal was the well-being of children, this would be the main focus. Hate has never solved any problems, but it has caused a great many of them. The uniform public hysteria over pedophilia and total lack of reason in the public mindset on the subject is a product of social engineering perpetrated by the people that would use it as a tool to control public discourse. If you think about the level of hysterical behavior that comes out of just about anyone as soon as this topic is raised, you see that it's disproportionate when compared to other social issues or crimes. When a person is charged with mass murder they are innocent until proven guilty. When a person is SUSPECTED (not even charged) of having some digital pictures stored on their computer (regardless of the outcome of the investigation) they are dragged out into the street and beaten to death by their neighbors (otherwise normal people). This is not coincidence. People are so caught up in this (manufactured) fear and hysteria, they completely fail to realize that what they want (if the goal is the wellbeing of children) is exactly where they’re so desperately fighting against. Everyone freaks out over “normalizing” pedophilia, but they never stop to think about what pedophilia being “normalized” would be like. There is no evidence that willing pedophilic relationships cause any harm at all, unless people find out and absolutely freak out about it, but it is well-established that all the things the children are forced to go through with the legal system because of our laws and attitudes towards it are very traumatic and harmful. What had been a playful, fun, and enjoyable relationship becomes the stuff of nightmares. Furthermore, criminalizing it only opens them up to a greater chance of abuse and trauma because the kind of people who are willing to break the law to get what they want tend to be the kind of people who lack empathy and have no concern for other people’s feelings. (AKA psychopaths and narcissists). Our country has been taken over by sex-negative feminist ideology. The people actually pushing these ridiculous ideas are very few in number. Nobody paid any attention to the preposterous, made-up bullshit they were spewing out during the sexual revolution. That is, until the juggernaut of the sex-positive revolution were left with only one last group in need of sexual liberation and freedom; Children/teenagers (minors, if you will). They weren’t in denial about the existence of child sexuality like we are today. Pedophilia/intergenerational relationships were openly and honestly discussed and many people were starting to view such relationships as legitimate. I wasn’t alive then, but I’ve seen programs from back then where people in open pedophilic relationships were invited onto radio and TV talk shows to discuss their relationships alongside the PARENTS of the child (who approved of the relationships). It seemed imminent that sexual freedom for all was about to be achieved for the first time in history. Until that selfsame very small group of radical, sex-hating, sex-negative anti-porn feminists found themselves bankrolled and given a platform for them to spew their poison by some of the wealthiest and influential people in the nation. It was a battle between sex-positive freedom and sex-negative oppression. Freedom lost. I’m sorry; this became a bit of a rant, but I felt the need to explain how dangerous this new ridiculous notion of ‘sexualizing minors’ really is. And also the sinister intentions behind this ludicrous idea that humans are asexual children for the first 6 years of adulthood from age 12 until they turn 18. I feel like if this isn’t protested and stopped very soon, the same thing that happened to democratic Germany 90 years ago will happen to us. The term ‘minor’ is a made-up social construct and has absolutely nothing to do with human nature. As a matter of fact, it stands directly opposed to human nature. In the REAL world, humans become adults at 12/13 years old. Ever civilization to ever exist on the planet reached that exact same conclusion until the industrial revolution and the institution of forced schooling. For the first time in history, adulthood was redefined as the age of which people graduate from the public indoctrination scheme at 18. The 6 years of adulthood it skipped over was rebranded as an artificial extension of childhood; adolescence. Sex is freaking awesome. Humans are sexual beings from birth, but it REALLY kicks in during puberty (11/12 for females 13/14 for males), when our nature starts screaming at us all day every day to start getting it on. This is a very good thing; we would be extinct if this were not the case. This modern desexualization and infantilization of young adults that we are now calling children is unnatural and extremely harmful. Sexual repression is deliberately being imposed upon us; especially our youth. The more sexually repressed a populace is, the easier it is to control and get them to do or believe ANYTHING you want. This has been known by people in positions of power for thousands of years. Everybody is so terrified of pedophiles and ‘internet predators’ that we don’t realize that we are frogs in a pot, and the temperature is slowly being turned up. We are happily signing away our basic human rights and freedoms under the false promise of ‘safety.’ Safety from the bogeyman they have created for us to fear. We are made to be terrified of internet predators soliciting innocent ‘children’ (not children. not one single instance of an actual child. These are always invariably teenagers) off the internet. Of all reported such instances, only 1% actually met up for mutually desired sex, of which many keep coming back for more, and as far as I’m aware none of them have come to any harm. The internet is the safest place in the world for minors when it comes to online ‘predators’. On the flip side, the internet is the most dangerous place in the world for minors when it comes to peer cyber-bullying, of which dozens of bullied kids commit suicide each year and many more attempt it. But no one gives a shit because the media is telling us to fear the non-threat of sexual predators looking for consensual hookups with sexually active teenagers instead. Sexualizing minors is not a thing because we are all sexual beings. Being under some arbitrary age where one day you are an innocent little 17-year-old CHILD with DD’s and being sexualized as a child is going to lead to lifelong trauma. Then, the very next day you are a smoking hot, sexy AF, fully-grown bombshell platinum blonde 18-year-old woman with DD’s. ___________________________________________________________ Law Enforcement ‘Child Predator’ Stings & Teens Dating Website Usage ___________________________________________________________ The research shows that adolescents (12+), NOT children, often have sexually charged conversations over the internet including with adult men. It is very rare that a face-to-face meetup occurs, but when it does, the results are either shocking or blatantly obvious, depending on the person. Only 5% of these men pretended to be teenagers or someone else, whereas it’s 10% for tinder. They are very upfront and honest about who they are and their intentions, giving the minor an easy way out if she isn’t 100% comfortable with it, out of respect. When they do eventually meet up after getting acquainted with each other online, both parties have already explicitly stated that they are meeting up for mutually desired sex. None of them felt harmed or abused. The vast majority of the teens ended up going back multiple times and spending more and more of their time with their “predator.” They report feelings of love, closeness, and intimacy. This is completely harmless, and not only do I find sting operations highly unethical, but there is no victim and no real justification for criminalizing this, either. Statutory rape is a legal fiction (as well as informed consent), and I consider the concept to be a crime against humanity. I believe the AoC should be 12 like it is in Mexico and some other places (not to mention the entire world for all of human history), which matches up with our biology. If they can do it and there is no abuse epidemic like the fear mongers would have you believe, it makes us in the US a disgrace. America, the land of the free, “Give me liberty or give me death!” Is being outclassed in terms of freedom and liberty by its next-door-neighbor. What a joke. So, anyway, at 12 people should be allowed to use dating sites if they wish. I hold a (sadly) minority opinion on all of this. I hate the term “child predator.” It’s feminist BS used to demonize male sexuality and simultaneously insults young people. Not a single one of these so called “child predators” get caught trying to have sex with an actual child. The decoys always pose as females of a sexual age that almost all men are attracted to for obvious evolutionary reasons. The absolute youngest is 12, which is around the age most females become fertile, have sexual desires of their own, and notice grown men taking an interest in them. Most of the ages the decoys give are perfectly legal in most of the western world. Hell, even 12 is legal in most states in mexico (provided consent is not obtained through deceptive means or the older person is in a position of authority) without society falling apart at the seams, but since America prides itself on being the freest nation on earth, we’ve decided you’re not allowed to do that here. The research on these “predators” shows that 95% of the time, they are completely upfront and honest about who they are and their intentions, giving the teenagers an easy way out if they are not interested. They almost always explicitly express a desire to have sex before meeting up in person; there’s almost never any ambiguity or hesitation. The majority of these “victims” continue to meet up in person on a regular basis and they express feelings of love, warmth, and intimacy with one another. Almost none report ever feeling harmed, victimized, or pressured to do anything against their will. In feminist lala land, they call that grooming or child sexual abuse; in the real world, we call that a relationship. I’m not particularly a fan of having my tax dollars wasted on sting operations to catch people attempting to commit an imaginary crime. ___________________________________________________________ Minors and Social Media ___________________________________________________________ Nearly all social media sites implement policies “protecting” minors against “sexualization” and harsh penalties for “grooming behavior,” which is literally just talking to someone under 18. The general trend is increasing age stratification and the quarantining of youth, locking them out of greater society with no rights and no voice.   This policy is ostensibly to protect children from abuse, but it is itself extremely oppressive and abusive. Our society is very sick. We have everything backwards and it’s warping the minds of our youth. Intergenerational interaction used to be a cornerstone of society. They NEED to interact with the world in a meaningful way, but we are imprisoning them for the first 18 years of their lives, cut off from the rest of the world, to indoctrinate them into the system, and people speaking out about this are censored. The kids then grow up not giving a shit about the world, too preoccupied with the myriad distractions to care about greater society. ______________________________________________________________ A Message for the 20% of Men Affected by Modern Day Sex-Negativity _____________________________________________________________ You already know what you desire isn't harmful or unnatural, only a more perfect and virtuous union. You understand that legality has never dictated morality. When slavery was legal it was still immoral and while marijuana is illegal it shouldn’t be. This is not about the morality of the issue. It isn't just about you or what you believe. It's about the millions of men, women and children constantly living in fear because they know that if they were discovered they would be lose their jobs, be beaten, jailed or worse. You will face hardship. You will have to step on a few toes. But some guy named Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither”. We know what has to be done. Now it's only a matter of doing it. Toxic ideas and bigotry permeate our society, turning right into wrong and poisoning childrens' minds with hate. Still, there are those who selfishly place their own wants over the needs of others. Stability should never come before equality. Of chief issue are self-hating pedosexuals and their enablers. They call themselves “virtuous”. In truth they are feckless and morally bankrupt. Too many have swallowed the lies of society whole and believe that they themselves are defective, instead of those who victimize the most vulnerable. If you can't accept yourself, how can you expect the world to accept you? For them, the most important battle is inside. After that, the rest is EZ-Mode. You are on the right side of history. The past several decades have been marked by the relentless removal of barriers to love — from nationality to color and sex. Age is the only one left, and even then the taboo is an extremely recent one. Pedophobia first reared it’s ugly head in the 1600s due to Puritan morality and a Victorian view of sex as inherently evil. After a long period of liberalization, the paranoia reached crisis levels in the 1980s with the rise of the religious right, “family values" and criminalization of child sexuality. While stigmas against the number of people in a relationship remain, they are not nearly severe as the one against age. The end goal (and best kept secret!) of the queer rights movement has always been complete sexual liberation for all people and all ages — not just gays and lesbians. You can read this for yourself in their founding documents which advocated the repeal of age of consent laws until circa 1980. Society can only take so much change at a time, so it made sense not to force everything all at once. So far, they’ve done a great job. Now it’s your turn to pick up where they left off and finish what Stonewall started by demanding equal rights. Nobody will stand up for you until you stand up for yourselves. Forget what society has told you: Pedophobia is not natural. It's an entirely manufactured hatred, one that rests on shallow intellectual foundations that are province of the weak-minded. America has been wrong before and it’s wrong again. We must degrade, defeat and ultimately destroy pedophobia everywhere it lurks in society. ___________________________________________________________ The Ideal Natural Pair Bond ___________________________________________________________ The only thing that REALLY matters in a relationship is how people feel about each other. Age gap relationships have been the norm for all of human history for good reason. Our species forms long-term pair bonds as our reproductive strategy. Young women in their early teens are at peak reproductive value (most potential future babies), and grown men are best able to protect and provide for a woman and her potential offspring. This is the most reproductively successful pair bond for our species, which explains why this has been the norm all over the world since the dawn of civilization. Only after the industrial revolution (<1% of history) and recently did feminists manage to stigmatize the most natural and beneficial pair bond we have; it’s our most powerful weapon in our arsenal for staving off the imminent and ever-present threat of extinction. It is what kept us going when we were on the brink of extinction 70,000 years ago. It’s actually very common for 12 year old girls to desire a relationship with a grown man. In fact, it’s so common that this was the predominant relationship model in virtually every pre-industrial civilization to ever exist. 12 year olds are at peak reproductive value, therefore they are the most desirable females with whom to begin a relationship. Grown men are bigger and stronger that 12 YO boys. They’ve proven they can handle whatever life throws at them because they didn’t die doing all the stupid things they did in their teens. They are the most capable males to be able to protect and provide for her and their future family. Evolution has wired us this way. Again, this model has only been seriously stigmatized via radical sex-negative feminists within the last 40 or so years using unsubstantiated and emotionally manipulative rhetoric. Our modern taboo of anything other than same-age relationships is the most deviant sexual norm of any society in history. Today it is considered like the worst crime you can possibly commit. _____________________________________________________________ A Brief Bio and More About My Thoughts _____________________________________________________________ I used to think sexual relationships between adults and teens was wrong, but over a year of research, learning about the history, talking to people who have been participants in such relationships, and reflection have completely changed my mind. The evidence seems to suggest that when simple consent is given, such relationships are not good predictors of harm. It’s only predictive of harm if force or high pressure is involved, or if the legal system gets in involved. Not to mention ‘primitive’ people who frequently engage in such activity, the trauma myth touted by feminists is nonexistent. It makes sense. Sexual contact feels good, strengthens bonds, and fosters feelings of warmth, closeness, happiness, and wellbeing. I really don’t see what could actually be wrong about that. Not being able to fully understand everything about sexuality and whatnot has no bearing on people’s lived experiences. That said, I’m actually not a pedophile. I’m more of a hebephile, which, if the findings of some of the peer-reviewed research I’ve read are accurate hebephiles could account for 20% of the male population. _____________________________________________________________ My View on the Age of Consent ___________________________________________________________ 20% of men are Hebephiles meaning they are attracted to females 11-14. Even if we cut that in half and say that 50% of them are not seriously affected by modern consent laws, that still leaves 20 million men in the US alone. 40 million American parents have a son living anywhere between a subpar and unfulfilling life to a downright miserable existence. To cut out such a large portion of the population from participating in the game of love because of feminist ideology is a travesty. There is a reason the age of consent has always hovered right around 10–12 all around the world for all of human history. People got along just fine making their own decisions about how to live their personal lives for thousands of years without the threat of state violence. We should lower the AoC back down to the much more natural number of 12, and allow 12–17 YOs to bring their partner (if 18+) up on charges if they feel exploited. This is the system they use in Mexico. The minimum age varies from state to state, but most common is 12. If you’re worried about what might happen in a country in which adults can legally date 12 YOs, do a Google search for "6 maps and charts that explain sex around the world", and click on the first result. You'll see a link of 6 maps and charts that explain sex around the world Most notably, Mexicans feel the most respected during sex of any other country: Essentially, Mexicans are kicking our asses when it comes to sex. Quite frankly, I think there are much better uses of our tax dollars than policing people’s personal lives and setting up predatory sting options to catch people meeting up to commit an imaginary crime against an imaginary victim. _____________________________________________________________ A Chart of Heterosexual men's ratings of sexual attractiveness of pubescent girls: Effects of labeling the target as under or over the age of sexual consent - PubMed ____________________________________________________________ Hebephilia Attraction to pubescents is normative and unviersal. Phallometric studies have repeatedly shown equal or higher levels of arousal to adolescent stimuli. Further, studies such as Bennett (2015) and O'Donnell (2014) demonstrate how men self-censor by describing the same girls as less attractive when they are ascribed a younger age. "For example, Johnston and Franklin (1993) had subjects "evolve" a beautiful female face over iterated generations on a computer program designed to simulate natural selection. In the end, the most attractive versions of females' faces had proportions typical of girls aged 11-14. Braun, Gruendl, Marberger, and Scherber (2001) used morphing software to vary female characteristics and found that facial shapes of girls of about 14-years old, with smooth, pure skin, produced the highest attraction ratings. They found that even the most attractive mature female faces could be made more attractive by morphing into them greater and greater degrees of immaturity. [...] The foregoing considerations suggest a range of female ages, which most typically are capable of producing adaptive attraction responses in mature males with respect to reproduction. This range extends from puberty, when reproductive value is maximal, into the 20s, when fertility is greatest, and behond while fertility lasts. Within this range, male preferences may typically peak, for example, at female ages of 17 or 18, a compromise of highest reproductive value (ages 12 or 13) and fertility (ages 22 or 23) (cf. Williams, 1975). Depending on local social and cultural conditions, this peak may be shifted (i.e., recalibrated) to younger or older female ages (Buss, 1989)."(Rind and Yuill, 2012) All one has to do is observe real life. For example, sexualized searches on Dogpile focus on a broad range of ages, but none is more popular than girls in their teens (13 the most so). Teen are also by far the most popular age-related porn searches. In hunter-gatherer societies, girls were typically married off at a peak age of 14. Scholars almost universally accept the normative and adapative status of Hebephilia, so why do we still witness the pathetic spectable of supposedly unreformed "males" on social media, pretending they have no interest in minors? For further analysis see mapbiology.wordpress.com/adoscentophilia This is standard male sexuality. “Feminists” (not all feminists, but at least the ones with all the power atm) have shamed and demonized men for their perfectly normal attraction to younger females; labelling them predators. The women who press this “predator” narrative the hardest are the same women who shave all of their body hair and cake on makeup to try to make themselves look as much like a pubescent female as they possibly can. How many men have had their lives ruined because of this BS? How many men have become acquainted with the excruciating happiness of having what could have been the best thing to ever happen to them seemingly fall out of the sky and into their lives, as if sent by an angel; then being forced to helplessly watch as she slowly slips through their fingers, as if dragged away by a demon? All because complete and total strangers have dictated to you what’s right and what’s wrong. They don’t care about all the nights you’ve stayed up crying by not being able to be with the person you love. It’s not fun; I’ll tell you that much. Will you join us in spreading the message that men and women are not enemies? That it is wrong to punish, prevent, and penalize love between two human beings who make each other happy and choose to be together? To have complete and total strangers make that choice for them? We need as many brave allies that we can get. _____________________________________________________________ I do not read replies here.
