I think the irony stems from the fact that there seem to be two types of/sides to adultism. One is overprotection, this is when it's assumed that young people need restrictions to protect them. The other is thinking the young are irresponsible. Hence, they need to be restricted to protect public safety or something. Something you have both, kind of. When people think the young are irresponsible, so need to be protected from themselves. In fact, maybe all adultism stems from the belief that young people are irresponsible. There's two sides to irresponsibility, harm to oneself and harm to others/society. Hence two sides to adultism.

why does everything have to come down to an -ism? Its not oppression and not "adultism" to say that children need restrictions, and are irresponsible. Its fact.

This doesnt mean that I think parents couldnt be better, or that they dont apply rules and restrictions that seem dumb to me, because they do.

Are you saying children should do whatever they want, whenever they want? If that is what you are saying, then you are insane.

If that is not what you are saying, then you have to accept that adultism isnt a thing, and that restrictions on children are needed, and that children are irresponsible. The question is, where do we draw the line?
