It’s not enough to be not a groomer. One must be actively anti-grooming. Those who defend themselves against accusations of grooming are simply expressing Groomer Fragility. They harbor secret groomer traits & must be shown the ways they’ve benefited from a systemic grooming.
Silence is violence when it comes to the grooming of children. Unless you are actively working to dismantle the systems of grooming, you are upholding the institutions that have oppressed children for centuries. It’s time to listen & learn. Know better so you can do better.
Get educated on this, but also don’t make those of us doing this work expend any more energy than we have to by teaching you. Resources on this stuff abound. I recommend starting with the brave @libsoftiktok to see how what this system of grooming looks like.
It’s time we stop centering groomers and work to establish anti-grooming policies and programs. I recommend a government division, The Anti-Grooming Task Force, in which unelected anti-grooming activists determine whether institutions are sufficiently anti-grooming.
Oh, and Christians: if your pastor isn’t teaching anti-grooming sermons, you need to find a new church. He is upholding Groomer Supremacy & is on the wrong side of history. The church has a long history of supporting or ignoring grooming. Do. Better. Church.
One last thing (maybe— I’m working on my CGT thesis, so I have a lot of thoughts): I’ll just say it. Public school can’t be reformed. It must be defunded & dismantled. Abolition or bust.
We must also reimagine a society in which the nuclear family, fathers especially, are the biggest influence not just in their child’s life, but in society. We must recognize the role Toxic Matriarchy has played in upholding systemic grooming.
Those bringing up the TN marriage bill that apparently does away with age requirements for marriage: Look, this is simply a product of the System of Groomer Supremacy, in which most of you are active or complicit. Grooming is not R or D. It’s the right side of history vs not.
