For years, anti-trafficking advocates regularly claimed that 300K children were sex trafficked each year. It was never true — the stat was a bastardization of a stat saying 300,000 children were at risk of exploitation due to things like poverty, alienation and transphobia. #LowIQAnon

Jerry Falwell and #MeToo agree that men who want sex are evil. When Christian Fundamentalist Conservatives and Radical Feminists agree, people who still have some common sense need to stick together and fight for sanity. primal.net/e/nevent1qvz... #StopTheHysteria #SexPhobicPuritans

Will Congress please take action to rid us of this monster y'all keep enabling? I mean holy shit, what are y'all fucking cowards waiting for?

This monologue lists terrible shit that previous generations caused, then flips on a dime and declares that the one generation not responsible for any of it, is BY FAR THE WORST GENERATION EVER. That's how deep our culture's reflexive "blame youth for everything" bias runs. It's very fucked up.

How much would you bet that there is no "trafficking" ring at all? What are the odds that there aren't even any children in this story? How likely is it that there were some cops on-line pretending to be teenagers, tricking some lonely men into typing "Yeah, I'd like to see your nude selfies."?

Pseudoscience about "bad brains" has been an integral part of bigotry for at least 200 years. Women, African-Americans, teenagers, whoever the bigots want to oppress, suddenly there is very fishy "science" proving their brains are bad. #RespectYoungAdults

Dan Siegel says, with a straight face, in front of an audience, and cameras, that: Adolescence used to last 2 years but now it last anywhere from 12 to 20 years. 6 to 10 times longer. For no reason. It just happened. Dan Siegel is batshit crazy. youtu.be/HIZ7xdMrGlI #RespectYoungAdults

The idea that a 18 year old can handle decisions like joining the army or starting a family, but can't be allowed to do dangerous things like drink a beer or have sex with a MILF is stupid beyond belief. #StopTheHysteria #RespectYoungAdults

Here's a guy who doesn't know what pedophilia is, waxing philosophical about it. The intensity of the stupidity of this entire discourse is jaw-dropping. #StopTheHysteria

The U.S. drinking age is a bizarre outlier for 2 reasons: A. scapegoating young adults is easy for politicians B. long American Puritan tradition loathes alcohol #RespectYoungAdults

I live in a country that had a MASSIVE HYSTERICAL MELTDOWN over a 1/2 second glimpse of one of Janet Jackson's boobs. Americans wig out over the slightest sexual "danger". THAT is fucking weirdo behavior. #StopTheHysteria

Let's say, just for fun, that I sexualized a shoe yesterday. How would you know that I did it? How would I know that I did it? Would the shoe be different afterwards? Would I be different afterwards? Is this "sexualize" thing really a useful concept? #StopTheHysteria

A: 16 year olds can't consent, so it's rape. B: I had sex when I was 16 and it wasn't rape. A: Yeah, there are Romeo and Juliet laws. B: So 16 year olds can consent. A: Oh, fuck. #StopTheHysteria #RespectYoungAdults

this is a real serial rapist, violent offender, and danger to society. sadly the dominant narratives of the last 10 years conflate truly evil fuckers like Andrew Tate, with regular harmless folks who have a sex partner a few years older or younger than them. www.nydailynews.com/2025/03/26/a...

Turns out that Certified Sex Addiction Therapists are more likely (compared to others) to be: hetero, married, monogamous, religious and wealthy w/ higher levels of moral disapproval of porn. UnSurprisingly, they also over diagnose porn & sex addiction. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

Soledad O'Brien praised a company for firing a man for being creepy. OK. So to be fair all people who seem creepy should be fired from all jobs, right? What is the objective criteria for creepiness that shows the line between odd behavior and fire-able "creepiness"? #StopTheHysteria

Our society utterly fails to prepare girls for becoming women. We are in deep denial. We don't talk about these things. Then everyone feels incredible shame about normal healthy development. It's pure dysfunction. How can we be so fucking bad at this? #StopTheHysteria #RespectYoungAdults

"power dynamics" is 100% bullshit and getting all neurotic about it has made the youngs miserable AF. They're lonelier and having less sex than any previous generation. #StopTheHysteria #RespectYoungAdults

a 20-year-old can't be a stripper in Texas because she is "underage" but if you wanna drive a car in Texas at 16 you're not underage we ought to stop pretending the term "underage" actually means something #StopTheHysteria #RespectYoungAdults

Brain study is a cute hobby, but it's about as useful as collecting stamps. We have written records of thousands of years of young adults aged 14-18 doing just fine anytime they were given the chance. #RespectYoungAdults #StopTheHysteria
