"Our movement today stresses the liberation and empowerment of young people. Instead of pedagogy, democracy. Rather than a Greek love mentor-relationship, the companionship of independent and autonomous individuals. In place of male supremacy, a vision of sexual, economic, and political liberation for all. Freedom is indivisible. The liberation of children, women, boy-lovers, and homosexuals in general, can occur only as complementary facets of the same dream." (David Thorstad 1998) Only a very ancient perspective addresses this topic from man/boy experiences. Modern political work, such as that of the NAMBLA, or the political parties ICL(FI) or CPGB, focus on a general opposition to the age of consent, with gender playing an irrelevant role, and sexism being seen as malicious and linked with discrimination of CLs. |
