I've tried those arguments in debates on platforms like Quora (which has a lax policy to moderation). I have absolutely no issues with the truth of what you're saying. But despite the truth of it, a lot of people still hold to their beliefs dogmatically. I think we can perhaps get people to accept that liking teens isn't disgusting (though even then it's a matter of preference). Power imbalance, though? They'll hold to there being something special about sex without ever defining what it is. We can try to argue for a smaller gap between sex and other activities, but I don't think we can erase it. We definitely do need to amplify the voices of ALL people who've experienced AMSC, though. Not just "victims". It's getting harder and harder though, because people who have positive experience "reconceptualize" their experience as traumatic after social or therapeutic intervention (as Clancy says). |
