'Boyloverism'

I like the term! Here is what it means to me. 1) Recognizing that boys are hot. 2) Acknowledging to oneself that one finds boys hot. 3) Putting the interests of the young males in one's life ahead of one's own interests (among other things, that means not using them as things to get one's rocks off -- but also recognizing that they too are sexual creatures and helping them deal with that when called for -- not necessarily or even primarily by giving them blow jobs) 4) Doing what one can to undermine the edifice of oppression directed at boys and those who love them, while recognizing that in this day and age, that's going to be a matter of small steps here and there (e.g., carefully networking with other BLs and "being there" for one's BL friends, doing what one can to defend boys' spaces -- scouting/choirs/schools, doing what one can while staying safe to open the eyes of muggles.)
