Telling minors not to express themselves sexually leaves them vulnerable to sexual abuse. https://twitter.com/sevonic/status/1282542399567339523">https://twitter.com/sevonic/s...
I’m saying this as someone who knows because I was abused and groomed as a minor.
Wtf are adults doing telling minors they can’t be horny? That’s creepy tbh.
Slut shaming kids isn& #39;t going to make them stop, but it will drive them towards predators who validate them. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1282882853030653952">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
Imagine calling actual 13 year olds "sluts" and thinking you& #39;re the one coming out of the conversation not looking creepy.
Again, I& #39;m speaking from experience here. One of the ways that predators do what they do is by validating their victims& #39; sexuality in an environment that shames kids. That& #39;s why they flatter kids by telling them they& #39;re super mature.
When adults reinforce that environment of shame, we& #39;re making things easier for predators. When we allow kids to express their sexuality, we& #39;re making things harder for predators.
Pretty sure the problem is adults preying on vulnerable kids, actually. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283100702022213637">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
Seriously, what is the fantasy here? That predators only see kids as potential victims when those kids are openly sexual? That& #39;s not how anything works.
No, I don& #39;t. I& #39;m not comfortable with it, but it& #39;s not about my comfort. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283101301119823873">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
How would that make it easier? Like, in what way... what even?
That last tweet I quoted is just blatant victim blame.
Here& #39;s the other thing: we& #39;re not actually going to be able to stop minors from being openly sexual online. All we& #39;re able to do is shame them for it, which makes them more vulnerable to abuse.
No, the equivalent of giving access to self-defense classes would be if we educated kids on signs of abuse and predatory behaviours. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283103639784038401">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
What they& #39;re doing is the equivalent of telling women how to dress and act in order to supposedly prevent rape.
Um, comparing a minor being openly sexual to someone standing at the very edge of the grand canyon is absolutely victim blame. It& #39;s blatant fucking victim blame. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283105292541202433">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
This person has decided that my firsthand experience as a survivor of CSA isn& #39;t good enough, but they refuse to provide any evidence for their claims at all. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283104335891771393">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
"Just common sense" is literally the same argument people make when saying women shouldn& #39;t drink/go out at night/wear certain things/exist in public to prevent rape. Your "common sense" is rape culture. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283106351686746115">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
UPDATE: This person thinks women should be careful of what they wear so they don& #39;t get raped. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283106971063910402">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
UPDATE: this person thinks that men are comparable to crocodiles, rather than being human beings with agency who can choose not to rape. https://twitter.com/nddragoon/status/1283107452708364296">https://twitter.com/nddragoon...
